§ 55-8. Restrictions on construction equipment.

A. 

No person shall use or operate any tractor, earthmoving machine, pavement breaker, crane, bulldozer, backhoe, payloader, air compressor, chain saw, chipper or other tree-removal equipment, stump grinder or machinery or any equipment for soil excavation, maintenance, construction, demolition, alteration or repair work or any other construction work, except between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays.

B. 

Any such equipment so used shall be in good working condition and equipped with a muffler properly maintained to reduce noise to the absolute minimum.

C. 

The provisions of Subsection A of this section do not apply to interior alteration and repair work done only within an entirely enclosed building.

D. 

In the event of an emergency, the Superintendent of Public Works, Mayor or the Commissioner of Police or his designated representative may grant an exemption from the provisions of Subsection A of this section. The permit should be written, but may be oral if the emergency is too urgent to permit time to be taken for preparation of a written permit. If the permit is oral, the Superintendent of Public Works or the Mayor must make a written copy of the permit as soon as he practically can and deliver copies to the permittee and the Village Clerk. The Superintendent of Public Works or the Mayor shall file a copy of every written permit issued under this subsection with the Village Clerk and the Commissioner of Police and deliver a copy to the permittee. Every permit issued under this subsection shall have a duration no longer than the emergency impelling its issuance.

E. 

This section shall not apply to any construction equipment owned or operated by the village.
