No person shall change or alter the grade of any village highway within the Village of Lake Grove, nor in any manner alter or change the line or height of any curb in any village highway, nor open the surface nor make any excavation under the surface thereof for any purpose whatsoever in or upon any village highway, nor alter or change the location of an existing pole in any village highway, without first having obtained a permit from the Village Superintendent of Public Works or such person as may be the head of the Village Highway Department.
No person nor any utility company or water company shall remove, cut down or deform by excessive cutting or trimming of branches any tree along any of the highways within the village without the prior written consent from the Village Board. In case of a storm, hurricane or other emergency, oral consent, to be later confirmed in writing, may be given by the Superintendent of Public Works or the head of the Highway Department.
The fee for any such permit as provided in § 154-2 above shall be as set forth in the fee schedule of the Village of Lake Grove.[1]
No person shall disturb, break, mar, injure, remove or deface, or cause to be disturbed, broken, marred, injured, removed or defaced, in any manner whatsoever, the surface or any part of any highway of the village or maintained by it, without a permit from the Superintendent of Public Works or head of the Highway Department.
No person shall operate, drive, propel or tow in, within or upon any highway of the Village of Lake Grove or maintained by it, any object, vehicle or machinery equipped with metal lugs, teeth, disks or other device which may in any way disturb, break, mar, injure, remove or deface the surface or any other part of any such highway of the Village of Lake Grove or maintained by it, excepting that this section shall not be construed to prohibit the use of carbon-, ceramic- or tungsten-studded tires by motor vehicles, provided that a person using said studded tires does not willfully or maliciously disturb, break, mar, injure, remove or deface the surface or any other part of any such highway of the Village of Lake Grove or maintained by it.
[Amended 9-9-2002 by L.L. No. 5-2002]
No person shall do or cause to be done any act or thing which shall cause or contribute to a condition, within, upon, adjoining or adjacent to any highway within the Village of Lake Grove, which shall be dangerous to the health, safety or welfare of persons using the same or shall impair the public use thereof or obstruct or tend to obstruct or render the same dangerous for passage.
The Superintendent of Public Works shall not issue a permit unless there shall have been furnished by the applicant a sufficient indemnity or performance bond or cash, or equivalent thereto, as determined by the Superintendent of Public Works, as a condition precedent thereto for the proper restoration of the part of the highway that may be opened, excavated or disturbed. And said bond or indemnity shall be for a reasonable amount as may cover one or more than one of the acts specified in this article, and said bond or indemnity may cover any period of time necessary to include the accomplishment of one or more of the aforesaid acts, all as shall be determined by the Superintendent of Public Works.
