Title 5 BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND LICENSES*
Chapter 5.04 LICENSING OF TEMPORARY BUSINESSES
5.04.035 Responsibilities of licensee.
(1) It is the responsibility of the licensee to make sure that the
approval of the town for each specific location to be used in the business is
clearly listed on any license issued.
(2) It shall be unlawful for any
licensee to operate in a congested area where such operation may impede or
inconvenience the public use of any street, alley, sidewalk or right-of-way.
For the purpose of this section, the judgment of a police officer, fireman, or
the town clerk-treasurer, exercised in good faith, is conclusive as to whether
the area is congested and the public impeded or inconvenienced.
(3) The
licensee and his agents and employees shall be required to obey the commands of
law enforcement officers and firemen with respect to activity carried out on the
sidewalks or public area, including the removal of the structure or cart and
cessation of retail sales. No temporary structure or cart may be permanently or
temporarily affixed to any fixed object, including but not limited to buildings,
trees, signs, telephone poles, streetlight poles, traffic signal poles or fire
hydrants.
(4) Efforts shall be made by the licensee to protect sidewalks and
public areas against littering. Each licensee must have an adequate trash
receptacle which is emptied sufficiently often to allow disposal of litter and
waste by the public at any time. The licensee’s trash receptacle shall
not be emptied into trash receptacles owned by the town.
(5) Retail sales
may not be made to any person in or on any motorized vehicle.
(6) No sales
facility may be located or make retail sales in that part of a right-of-way
utilized for motor vehicle traffic (commonly referred to as a street), a street
median strip or an alleyway.
(7) A license issued pursuant to this chapter
shall not be transferable to another licensee. A license may be transferred to
another location with the permission of the town clerk and payment of a transfer
fee of fifty dollars.
(8) Any building or stand erected in the town will
meet all local fire, electrical and building codes.
(9) Any request for a
permit to sell fireworks shall first be approved by the fire chief in writing
before the permit is issued. No permit will be issued to sell fireworks in the
town during the month of May.
(10) Any temporary structure, as defined in
Section 5.04.030 of this code, located in the town but outside the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway must be removed within five days following the completion of the
event for which the license was issued.
(11) Any temporary structure erected
in the town and not removed within twenty days following the completion of the
event for which the license was issued may be removed by the town at
licensee’s expense following ten days’ advance written notice by the
town to the licensee. Failure by the town to remove the temporary structure
shall not constitute a waiver of the town’s right to collect a daily fine
for each temporary structure not removed after the five-day grace period. (Ord.
931 § 1, 2000; Ord. 786 § 9, 1991).
