<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />regulations apply for the safety of the driving public as well as for the protection of the <br />mailboxes themselves, <br /> <br />Federal postal regulations require the mailbox patron to remove any obstructions, <br />including snow, which make delivery difficult. Using one of the approved mailbox <br />supports is highly recommended, as it will allow clearing under or near the mailbox <br />without damage during a normal plowing operation. <br /> <br />When lhere is a heavy accumulation of snow, the location of mailboxes close to the <br />roadway makes the push back operations of the City's Operations and Maintenance <br />workers difficult and renders the boxes quite susceptible to damage as a result of plowing <br />operations. It shall be the City's policy to use special care and consideration when <br />plowing snow in the vicinity of mailboxes. <br /> <br />State law now requires all mailbox supports be of a breakaway design. <br /> <br />Mailboxes can be especially vulnerable to damage from show removal operations. The <br />City assumes liability for mailboxes damaged during plowing, If it is determined that the <br />plow did make direct contact with a mailbox that was properlv placed and under the <br />approved guidelines, <br /> <br />To be properly placed, a mailbox should be installed so that its bottom edge is 45" to 48" <br />above street level, with the post 48" back from the curb or front of the box. That amount <br />of clearance is necessary to keep the plow's wing from hitting the box. If there are any <br />plastic newspaper tubes attached to the mailbox, they must also be above the minimum <br />45" height requirement. The box's post should be securely in the ground, <br /> <br />If mailboxes are not installed with the proper clearance mentioned above, the <br />responsibility for repairing any damage lies with the homeowner, not the City. The City <br />will replace standard metal mailboxes that are inslalled properly on an approved swing- <br />away post. The Citv WILL NOTpav the replacement cost for a decorative mailbox. <br /> <br />RESPONSIBILITY OF RESIDENTS <br />Snowstorms create numerous problems and inconveniences. This policy has identified <br />streets, sidewalks, parking lots and icc rinks that the City will clear. The residents will <br />also have certain responsibililies, These include clearing their own driveways and private <br />sidewalks, clearing areas for refuse containers, clearing around mailboxes and/or <br />newspaper tubes and fire hydrants adjacent to or localed upon their property. These areas <br />musl be cleared without depositing any snow into the street. The practice of moving <br />snow from driveways into the street causes a very serious traffic problem, When the <br />snow freezes and a vehicle hits a rough spot, it could be thrown out of control and an <br />accident might occur. It is prohibited to blow, shovel or plow any snow back onto, or <br />across any City street. Snow must not be accumulated into any large piles that obstruct <br />vision or driveways or walks. Refuse containers must not be placed on the street <br />surfaces. The City will not clear private drives or walks. <br /> <br />5 <br />
