in person or property caused by the presence of ice or snow on a public
sidewalk unless the Borough is the owner or is in possession and control of
land abutting such sidewalk, other than land used as a highway or street,
provided the Borough shall be liable for its affirmative acts with respect to
such sidewalk.
B. (1) The owner or person in possession and
control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall have the same duty of care
with respect to the presence of ice or snow on such sidewalk toward the portion
of the sidewalk abutting his or her property as the municipality had prior to
the effective date this Ordinance and shall be liable to persons injured in
person or property where a breach of such duty is the proximate cause of such
injury.
(2) No action
to recover damages for injury to the person or to property caused by the
presence of ice or snow on a public sidewalk against a person who owns or is in
possession and control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall be brought but

may be allowed by law.
C.
It

from sections 4 or 6 above for correction of a violation on a street, sidewalk,
or private access street remain unpaid for a period longer than 90 days, a
notice of claim of lien shall be sent to the person owning the property. If,
prior to the date of filing of the lien, the Borough of Stonington receives a
request from the property owner for a hearing, the property owner shall have an
opportunity to be heard, and after such hearing the Board shall determine the
appropriate amount to be paid and liened. In no event shall the amount of the
lien be greater than the original charges provided for in the notice to the
landowner. If no request for hearing is received, a lien certificate shall be
filed in the Land Records.

SBO-05 ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PARKING RESTRICTIONS
1.
Authorization.
This ordinance is adopted pursuant to Sections 7-148 and 14-307 of
Connecticut General Statutes.
2.
Purpose.
The public streets of the Borough of Stonington are almost uniformly
narrow. Portions of the main
thoroughfares within the Borough allow travel in only one direction. Residential, commercial and other buildings
and structures are typically located very close to the streets. Many properties within the Borough are too
small to allow on-site parking, so property owners must use the street for
their motor vehicles, further restricting the flow of traffic along the
streets. Pedestrian and vehicular
traffic is often heavy along the main thoroughfares of the Borough. For these reasons, it is necessary to
restrict on-street parking by large motor vehicles within the Borough to help
assure a safe and convenient traffic flow and to minimize the potential for
accidents due to restricted lanes and sightlines.
3.
Parking
Restrictions. All motor vehicles and trailers listed in
Section 4 of this ordinance shall be subject to the following parking
restrictions:
a. a.
No such vehicle or
trailer shall be parked on any street within the Borough except as expressly
allowed in subsections b, c, or d, below.
b. b.
A vehicle or trailer that
is used for making deliveries of goods or receiving goods for delivery may be
parked on a street within the Borough for only such period of time as is
necessary to deliver or receive such goods.
c. c.
A vehicle or trailer that
is necessary for the performance of a service may be parked on a street within
the Borough for only such period of time as is necessary to provide the
service.
4.
Vehicles
Affected. Except as provided in Section 5 of this
ordinance, the provisions of Section 3 of this ordinance shall apply to all
motor vehicles and trailers having one or more of the following
characteristics:
a. a.
Height in excess of eight
(8) feet.
b. b.
Length in excess of
eighteen (18) feet.
c. c.
Width in excess of seven
(7) feet.
d. d.
More than four (4) wheels
in contact with the ground.
e. e.
Gross vehicle weight or gross combinations
weight rating in excess of ten thousand (10,000) pounds.
5.
Exemption.
This ordinance shall not apply to any vehicle needed to respond to a
fire, medical emergency, police emergency, or similar emergency.
6.
Penalties.
Each violation of this ordinance shall be subject to a fine or civil
penalty of one hundred dollars ($100).
Each day upon which such violation occurs shall be considered a separate
and distinct violation and shall be subject to an additional fine or civil
penalty.
Passed

2c. "Alternate side
parking" shall mean that parking is permitted on one side of the street
only, such that on even-numbered days of the month motor vehicles may be parked
on that side of the street housing even-numbered addresses, and on odd-numbered
days of the month, parking is allowed on that side of the street with
odd-numbered addresses. A new day shall be deemed to begin at 8:00 A.M. for
purposes of this ordinance.
3. Any vehicle found parked
in violation of this ordinance may be removed, or conveyed by or under the
direction of a member of the Town of Stonington Police Department by means of
towing the same or otherwise, to a private garage in the Town of Stonington. Such
removal shall be at the risk of the owner. Before the owner or person in charge
of such vehicle shall be permitted to remove the same from the custody of the
garage where it was towed, he shall furnish evidence of his identity and
ownership or right to possession and shall pay to the private garage, towing
and storage charges reasonably incurred in such removal.
4. The provisions of this
ordinance shall not apply to emergency vehicles while on an emergency call,
public service vehicles, or physicians and ambulances on emergency calls.

time. The net interest cost on such
notes, including renewals thereof, and the expense of preparing, issuing and
marketing them, to the extent paid from the proceeds of such renewals or said
bonds, shall be included as a cost of the project. Upon the sale of said bonds the proceeds
thereof, to the extent required, shall be applied forthwith to the payment of
the principal of and the interest on any such temporary borrowings then
outstanding or shall be deposited with a bank or trust company in trust for
such purpose.

such rate or rates of interest as shall be determined by the Warden and Borough
Treasurer. The bonds and notes shall be
general obligations of the Borough, and each bond and note shall recite that
every requirement of law relating to its issue has been duly complied with,
that it is within every debt and other limit prescribed by law, and that the
full faith and credit of the Borough are pledged to the payment of the
principal thereof and the interest thereon.
The aggregate principal amount of the bonds or notes, annual
installments of principal, redemption provisions, the date, time of issue and
sale and other terms, details and particulars of such bonds and notes, as
applicable, shall be determined by the Warden and Borough Treasurer in accordance
with the requirements of the General Statutes of Connecticut, as amended.

Expenditures with Borrowings. The
Borough (the "Issuer") hereby expresses its official intent pursuant
to §1.150-2 of the Federal Income Tax Regulations, Title 26 (the

and after the date of passage of this resolution in the maximum amount and for
the capital project defined in Section 1 with the proceeds of bonds, notes, or
other obligations ("Bonds") authorized to be issued by the
Issuer. The Bonds shall be issued to
reimburse such expenditures not later than 18 months after the later of the
date of the expenditure or the substantial completion of the project, or such
later date the Regulations may authorize.
The Issuer hereby certifies that the intention to reimburse as expressed
herein is based upon its reasonable expectations as of this date. The Treasurer or his designee is authorized
to pay project expenses in accordance herewith pending the issuance of
reimbursement bonds, and to amend this declaration.

periodic basis to nationally recognized municipal securities information
repositories or state based information repositories (the
"Repositories") and to provide notices to the Repositories of
material events as enumerated in Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange
Act Rule 15c2-12, as amended, as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to
effect the sale of the bonds and notes authorized by this resolution. Any agreements or representations to provide
information to Repositories made prior hereto are hereby confirmed, ratified
and approved.
Section 8. It is hereby found and determined that the issue
of all, or a portion of, the Bonds, Notes or other obligations of the Borough
authorized to be issued herein as qualified private activity bonds, or with
interest that is includable in gross income of the holders thereof for purposes
of federal income taxation, is in the public interest. The finding of this section shall apply to
any terms providing for the automatic increase of interest rates based on tax
exemption in the event of a determination that all or any part of such interest
is taxable for purposes of federal income taxation.

1. Authorization: Pursuant to
the provisions of Section 29-406(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes, this

"building" is defined as any structure intended for shelter, housing,
or enclosure of persons or materials, and "demolition" is defined as

this ordinance is to help protect the character of the Borough of Stonington by
encouraging historic preservation, rehabilitation, and reuse of buildings, or
parts thereof, within the Borough, by providing adequate time for all
interested parties to consider and put forth appropriate alternatives to the
demolition of such buildings, where they are not otherwise protected; and to
allow time to create a photographic record of such buildings and to obtain
proven dimensional information for future zoning determinations.
3. Applicability: No
demolition shall occur within the Borough until a demolition permit is issued
in accordance with the requirements of any pertinent State Statutes, state or
local codes and regulations, and with the provisions of this ordinance. No demolition permit will be required for any
proposed work which is the subject of an application to the Stonington Borough
Planning and Zoning Commission under Article 9 (Site Plans) or Article 10

4. Permit Procedure:
4.a. Any person who is
proposing demolition within the Borough of Stonington under Connecticut General
Statutes 29-406(b) shall file with the Zoning Officer of the Borough of
Stonington an "Application for Demolition Permit" on the form
available at the Town of Stonington Building Department. This application will
be forwarded to the Building Official of the Town following the review allowed
by this ordinance. In no event shall the review period exceed ninety days. In
addition to all other requirements established for demolition within the Town,
the applicant shall also file the following information with the Borough:
4.a.1. A photograph or plan
of the building clearly indicating what is to be demolished and the percentage
change.
4.a.2. The reason for the
proposed demolition.
4.b. The Zoning Officer shall
inform the Planning & Zoning Commission of all applications received. In
the event that the Planning & Zoning Commission determines that a
particular application merits public comment and review, it shall so notify the
applicant in writing. The applicant shall thereupon send copies of the
application, including all attachments, to all owners of property within 100
feet of the lot where the demolition is to occur. Such notice shall be by mail
or facsimile, and the applicant shall provide proof of notice to the
Commission. Such notice shall inform the recipients that any comments or
objections to the proposed demolition should be submitted in writing to the Stonington
Planning & Zoning Commission prior to its next regularly scheduled meeting.
4.c. The Planning &
Zoning Commission may ask the applicant to attend a meeting of the Commission
to review comments received, as well as Commission concerns regarding the
application and to consider alternatives to the proposed demolition.
4.d. The Planning &
Zoning Commission, if it finds that review of the proposal is not merited or
necessary, may instruct the Zoning Officer to forward the application to the
Building Official any time prior to the expiration of the ninety day review
period.
4.e. At the conclusion of the
ninety day review period, or sooner if authorized by the Commission, the Zoning
Officer shall forward the application to the Building Official together with a
letter advising the Building Official that the review allowed by this ordinance
is complete. At the expiration of the ninety day review period, the
requirements of this ordinance shall be deemed satisfied.
5. Exemptions: In case of an
unsafe building, the Building Official may take any emergency measures
prescribed by the State Building Code or the Connecticut General Statutes.
6. Penalty: Any property
owner or authorized agent of the property owner who violates any provision of
this ordinance shall be subject to a fine in the amount of one hundred dollars
($100), which amount shall be assessed each day as long as the violation
continues (up to $9000) and/or such other penalties as assessed under law.
7. Fee: A fee to cover the
costs of processing the demolition permit under the provisions of this
ordinance shall be established, not to exceed fifty dollars ($50).
8: Effective Date: The
effective date of this ordinance shall be July 16, 1999.

low or moderate income housing or special needs housing. The Commission or
Board may also credit all or a portion of application fees from previous
application(s) which were denied or withdrawn, where the review work performed
on the previous application(s) may be of benefit in reviewing the new
application. The Commission or Board exempting an application from payment of a
fee, in whole or in part, shall state in the minutes of the meeting at which
the application was received the fee type exempted, the percentage exempt, and
reasons for granting the exemption. This exemption shall not prohibit the
Commission or Board from requiring consultant reports, professional
certification or conducting inspections to ensure conformance with land use
regulations.

any aspect of a fee payable under this Ordinance by submitting a written appeal
within thirty (30) days of the date of the challenged billing to the Chairman

remedy, if the appeal is sustained, shall be by rebate.
Section 7: Validity
