These regulations are made to permit the holding of a neighborhood block party, celebration or event on a Borough street as set forth in Chapter 394 of the Borough of Bradley Beach.
An outdoor public event organized by the residents of a neighborhood or Borough block and held upon a Borough right-of-way for social or entertainment purposes. For purposes of this chapter, it shall be allowed in all zones as defined in the Zoning Code. The following streets may not be closed for a block party: Ocean Avenue, Main Street, Brinley Avenue, and Lake Terrace; these are county roads.
Any regular working hours in the Borough occurring Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
The administrative and departmental costs charged by the Borough to an applicant in conjunction with an event permitted under these regulations.
Any street, avenue, boulevard, road, parkway, viaduct, drive, lane, alley or other way which is an existing state, county or municipal roadway, or a street or way shown upon a plat heretofore approved pursuant to law or approved by official action, or a street or way on a plat duly filed and recorded in the office of the county recording officer prior to the appointment of a Planning Board and the grant to such Board of the power to review plats, and including the lands between the street lines, whether improved or unimproved, and may comprise pavement, shoulders, gutters, sidewalks, parking areas and other areas within the street lines.
The Borough of Bradley Beach Police Department is authorized to issue a permit for the temporary blocking of a street for the purpose of holding a block party. An application for such permit should be filed with the Chief of Police or the designee at least 30 days before the commencement of such party. Such application shall contain at least the following information: name and address of the applicant, name of the street of the event and a description of the specific party to be held. Local law prohibits alcohol use of any type.
The appropriated application fee of $100 shall be accompanied with the application. Application shall be submitted to the Borough Clerk. Any other fee for use of any equipment and manpower are set forth in § 393-6, Personnel and equipment fees. Application fee will be refunded in the event that the permit is denied. The permit shall be denied if the Chief of Police or the designee finds that blocking the street on the date requested in the application will unduly interfere with the flow of vehicular traffic or the application is not in the best interests of the Borough, upon determining that the party is not authorized.
The Chief of Police or the designee may at any time during the event shut down the block party due to any unforeseen emergency, may it be traffic volume, disorderly behavior, noise or for any other reason they deem necessary.
A permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be valid only for the date and the hours specified thereon, which shall not be before 12:00 noon until 30 minutes before dusk; maximum time limit will be four consecutive hours. All litter, debris and other material must be removed prior to roadway reopening. All barricades/cones will only be removed by the Police Department. It cannot be assumed if dusk is at 8:00 p.m. that's when you start to clean up. If the roadway is due to be reopened at 8:00 p.m. sufficient time should be allowed to accomplish the cleanup by 8:00 p.m.
The applicant shall be responsible for removal of litter, debris and other materials from the street and sidewalk used for the party which is attributable to or caused by the party and, if not removed by the applicant, may be removed as directed by the Chief of Police or the designee by the Public Works Department and the cost thereof charged to the applicant as per the rate established in § 393-6, Personnel and equipment fees. All barricades/cones will only be removed by the Police Department.
A street that has been blocked off for a party shall not be obstructed by any other obstacle which cannot be readily moved to allow emergency and hazard vehicles to enter it in response to an emergency. The only objects that can be used are the barricades and/or cones that have been placed by the Police Department.
No more than one permit shall be granted by the Borough of Bradley Beach Police within a three-block radius of the first permit. No more than two permits shall be granted by the Borough of Bradley Police in any calendar year for the same household.
The persons, organization or association to whom the permit is issued shall be liable for all losses, damages or injuries sustained by any person, whether a participant or spectator at the block party or recreational event, whether or not said losses, damages or injuries arise by reason of the negligence of the person, persons or organization to whom such permit shall have been issued. The Borough of Bradley Beach shall require the applicant to enter into a hold-harmless agreement, which agreement shall provide that the applicant shall agree to save and hold the Borough harmless of and from any and all obligations and liabilities which may arise from the temporary street closing which represents the subject matter of the application. The applicant shall further agree as part of these provisions to hold harmless the Borough and to defend at his own cost and expense any claims or lawsuits instituted by third parties, which obligations or liabilities might otherwise exist or be asserted against the Borough. The Borough of Bradley Beach shall further have the option to require that, prior to the issuance of a permit or commencement of the temporary street closing for commercial advertising purposes or profit, the applicant submit evidence of liability insurance covering damages to property and injuries to members of the general public arising out of the temporary street closing in such amounts as may be determined by the Borough of Bradley Beach.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a penalty of not more than $250 and imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days, or both. Each day is a continued violation and shall constitute a separate offense.
