Planning a Block Party?
Check Here First
Here are the guidelines for Neighborhood Block Parties.
Purpose/Use:
The requested use is for a community purpose and is not for the purpose of advertising any products, goods, or events, and is not designed to be held for private profit.
Locations:
Neighborhood block parties must be located within residential zoned areas. Neighborhood block parties will only be approved on local residential streets. Arterials, collectors, or other roadways necessary for traffic safety cannot be blocked off.
Limits:
Each neighborhood block party permit shall be limited to a maximum of one block in length or to the nearest two roadway intersections where no cross streets exist. Barricade placements shall be at the street intersections and no mid-block closures shall be allowed.
Hours of Party:
Maximum length of time allowed will be 6 hours - starting no earlier than 10:00 a.m. and ending no later than 10:00 p.m. on weekdays, except on holidays or weekends, when it shall end at 12:01 a.m.
Fee:
$50.00 - by check only, non-negotiable, payable in advance, when the application is filed which helps defray the associated cost of barricades, delivery and pickup.
Residential Survey:
Prior to filling out an application for a neighborhood block party, all affected residents adjoining the requested street closure MUST be contacted prior to the event and surveyed for approvals.
Application Time:
Return completed application and residential survey to the City at least 30 days in advance of said neighborhood block party.
Responsibility:
The applicant, in consideration of the permit being granted, agrees to hold harmless the City of Terrytown and its employees, as well as the City of Scottsbluff Police Department from all claims, demands, suits, actions, payments, liability, and judgments, because of bodily injury or property damage caused by an accident arising out of the private use of the street.
The applicant, in further consideration of the permit being granted, agrees to reimburse the City of Terrytown for any and all damage to or loss of City property in his/her possession or in his/her control under this permit. The applicant agrees to clean the permitted area of all paper products, glass, plastic, and trash and debris following the end of the Neighborhood Block Party event. If the applicant fails to do so, the applicant may be charged a $250.00 clean up fee. The applicant further agrees to immediately report to the City of Terrytown any visible or potential damage to City property which may have occurred during the neighborhood block party event or cleanup actions thereafter.
No Alcoholic Beverages on City Property.
Barricades:
The City will deliver barricades and/or traffic control devices to the applicants address prior to the neighborhood block party. Applicant shall be responsible to set out and remove all barricades and/or traffic control devices in accordance with the location and time specified on the permit. The City will then pick up the barricades and/or traffic control devices only from the applicants listed address. Barricades and/or traffic control devices will normally be delivered on day prior to the event and picked up the day after the neighborhood block party. If the neighborhood block party is scheduled during a weekend, barricades and/or traffic control devices will be delivered the Friday before and picked up the following Monday. The City reserves the right to limit quantities and adjust delivery and pickup times during emergencies, holidays and times of high demand.
Notification:
The City will notify you by mail upon approval or denial of the application. Upon approval, the City will make the necessary arrangements for barricade and/or traffic control device deliveries and notifications of street closures.
