city Of <br /> PEQVOT <br /> LAKES <br /> TO: Pequot Lakes Business Owners <br /> FROM: Kurt Eckardt, Roads and Streets Department <br /> RE: City Ordinance relating to snow removal <br /> DATE: January 9, 2006 <br /> It has been brought to our attention that there are several areas throughout our downtown <br /> business district that the sidewalks are not being shoveled and maintained properly. <br /> Ordinance No. 141 states, in a nutshell, that "All snow and ice remaining on a public <br /> sidewalk more than 12 hours is a public nuisance and any person who maintains a <br /> nuisance is guilty of City Ordinance No. 141. The owner or occupant of property <br /> adjacent to a public sidewalk shall keep such walk safe for pedestrians. No owner or <br /> occupant of property adjacent to a public sidewalk shall allow snow or ice to remain on <br /> the walk longer than 12 hours after its deposit thereon. The City shall remove from such <br /> public sidewalks all ice and snow after the snow has ceased to fall. <br /> In order to keep public sidewalks safe for pedestrians, the City will remove the snow and <br /> ice after the snow has ceased to fall, after you have failed to do so. The fee the City will <br /> charge is$50.00 per hour, with a one hour minimum. This policy is effective <br /> immediately. <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to contact City Hall at 218-568-5222. <br />
