Vehicles left on the streets during the posted winter months are subject to ticketing and/or <br /> towing(if interfering with potential snow removal operations). These enforcement <br /> actions are in conformance with City ordinance. <br /> 10. Responsibilitv of Residents <br /> Snow storms create numerous problems and inconveniences. This Policy has identified <br /> streets, sidewalks, and parking lots that the City will clear. The residents will also have <br /> certain responsibilities. These include clearing their own driveways and private <br /> sidewalks, clearing areas for trash cans, and clearing around mailboxes. <br /> Snow removal around fire hydrants located on, or adjacent to, private property are the <br /> responsibility of the property owner. A diameter of 6 feet minimum must be cleared to <br /> allow for emergency access with care given not to damage the hydrant or nearby gate <br /> valve(on ground level). <br /> Areas should be cleared without depositing any snow into the street. There also must not <br /> be any large piles which obstruct vision of driveways or walks. Trash cans must not be <br /> placed on the street surfaces. The City will not clear private drives or walks. <br /> Snow plowing can cause additional snow to be deposited in driveway approaches and <br /> around roadside obstacles. Operators are instructed to attempt to minimize these <br /> instances; however, it is not practical to eliminate the situation. Residents should be <br /> aware they may have to clear their driveways a second time after their street has been <br /> plowed. <br /> Complaints regarding snow and ice control or damage shall be taken during normal <br /> working hours and handled in accordance with the City's normal complaint procedure. <br /> High priority complaints (those involving access to property or problems requiring <br /> immediate attention) shall be handled on a priority basis. It should be understood that <br /> complaint responses are to ensure that the provisions of this Policy have been fulfilled <br /> and that all residents of the City have been treated uniformly. It is the City's intention to <br /> log all complaints and upgrade this Policy as necessary in consideration of the constraints <br /> of our resources. <br /> 4 <br />
