Summary

Logan Municipal Code § 12.08.080 makes owners and occupants of business property abutting a paved sidewalk responsible for clearing hail, snow, sleet and ice from the sidewalk and bus stop within one hour after it stops falling. Storms between 5:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. must be cleared before 9:00 A.M.

It is unlawful for the owner, occupant, lessor or agent of either the owner, occupant or lessor of any property abutting on any paved sidewalk where said property is open to the public for business to fail to remove or cause to be removed from such paved sidewalk and bus stop all hail, snow or sleet falling thereon, and all ice forming thereon, within one hour after such hail, snow or sleet shall have ceased falling or such ice shall have formed; provided, that in case of a storm, between the hours of five o'clock (5:00) P.M. in the afternoon and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. in the succeeding morning, or in case of ice forming during the same hours, such sidewalk shall be cleaned before nine o'clock (9:00) A.M. in the morning immediately succeeding the storm or the formation of such ice.

Full Breakdown

Chapter 12.08 of the Logan City code covers sidewalks, and § 12.08.080 is headed Duty To Remove Snow And Ice. The duty falls on the owner, occupant, lessor, or an agent of any of them, for property abutting on any paved sidewalk where the property is open to the public for business. As printed, the duty reaches the paved sidewalk and the bus stop, and it covers hail, snow, sleet, and ice that forms.

The clock is one hour. Clearing must be finished within one hour after the hail, snow or sleet has ceased falling or the ice has formed. A night rule softens that for storms. When a storm or ice formation happens between five o'clock (5:00) P.M. and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. the next morning, the sidewalk must be cleaned before nine o'clock (9:00) A.M. on the morning immediately following. Failing to remove or cause the removal is declared unlawful.

The section is aimed at business frontage. It does not print a snow clearing duty for homes in the same words, so a residential owner should not assume the one hour clock is written for them. Street plowing is a city operation and is not addressed in this section.

The parking code adds two related rules for streets. Section 10.52.170B bars leaving any vehicle parked so as to be an obstruction to a public works project or solid waste collection vehicles in a way that would be hazardous to other traffic, day or night. Section 10.52.170E lets the mayor or a designee, when conditions justify, declare an emergency and designate specific streets as emergency routes, which prohibits parking on those streets day or night until the designation is removed. Notification is by newspaper and/or radio, television, cable or e-mail. The text of that subsection does not name snow.

Violations & Fines

Section 12.08.080 prints no penalty of its own. Section 1.16.010 classifies violations of the municipal code for which no lesser penalties are provided as class B misdemeanors, punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000.00, or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six (6) months, or both. Under § 1.16.030, every day a violation continues is a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast must a Logan business clear its sidewalk after it snows?
Section 12.08.080 requires the snow, hail or sleet to be removed within one hour after it has ceased falling, and ice within one hour after it forms. For storms or ice between 5:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M., the sidewalk must be cleaned before 9:00 A.M. the next morning.
Does the duty cover bus stops?
Yes. The text requires removal from the paved sidewalk and bus stop of all hail, snow or sleet falling thereon and all ice forming thereon, for property abutting a paved sidewalk where the property is open to the public for business.
Can the mayor ban parking on streets during a snow event?
Section 10.52.170E lets the mayor or a designee declare an emergency and designate specific streets as emergency routes when conditions justify it. Parking is prohibited on those streets, day or night, until the designation is removed. Notice goes out by newspaper and/or radio, television, cable or e-mail.
What is the penalty if a business does not clear its sidewalk?
Section 12.08.080 prints no separate penalty. Section 1.16.010 treats violations without a lesser penalty as class B misdemeanors, with a fine not to exceed $1,000.00 or up to six (6) months in the county jail, or both, and § 1.16.030 counts each day as a separate offense.
