Street Basketball – Can we play?
Seems there are a lot of basketball hoops around the City
and with the “hoops”, come violations. There are City
ordinances that state citizens cannot block any street, alley,
or sidewalk within our City limits. Basketball hoops must
remain on private property. City Code Enforcement Officers are
beginning their neighborhood visits and will be citing residents
who are in violation of City Codes. Violations are not limited
to basketball hoops in the street or on the sidewalk; you or
your neighbor may also be cited for wasting water by allowing
lawn sprinklers to run so long that water is running down the
gutter to the storm drain. For more information regarding
obstruction of streets or sidewalks, see Riverbank
City Code
§95.01(A) and §95.03(D). More information on water conservation
is available under the Public Works Department.
Garage & Yard Sales
With summer weather you will see a lot more yard and garage
sales on the weekends. Another violation you may not be aware
of is the posting of those sale signs that advertise where the
yard sale is being held. Did you know it is illegal to post
those signs on City property? It is also illegal to post them
on utility poles. Garage sale signs are to be posted on private
property only (if the property is not yours, you will need the
owner’s permission). Do not post your signs on City property –
including trees, utility poles, street signs, stop signs, or on
another person’s property (without permission).
Be sure to pick up your Yard/Garage Sale Permit at City
Hall South from the Finance Department, 6617 Third Street.
Permits are $5.00 and are good for two 3-consecutive day sales
per year. RCC 110.18 (C)(1-2)
Landmark Tree Ordinance
Have you heard of the new tree ordinance which the City
Council recently passed? Its intent is to conserve large mature
trees, primarily Valley Oaks and Sequoia Redwoods throughout the
City. This Ordinance will prohibit the removal of large
diameter trees unless a tree conservation permit has been issued
by the City’s Planning Department. The entire Ordinance can be
read here – Ordinance 2006-009 – and if you have any questions,
please contact the Planning Department at 863-7120.
Farmers’ Market & More…
Have you been out to the Market yet? If not, you really
need to head out there! Live entertainment on June 28 is the
Bourbon Street Band and there may be a couple of young folks
singing with them this week. The annual Riverbank Idol contest
was to be held on this date but the number of entries was so low
we decided to move it to August and rename it the Riverbank
Talent Show. New rules and guidelines will be available in two
weeks.
What’s up next?
Keep an eye open throughout
the summer months. You will see more stores and
restaurants opening up in the Crossroads Center. Be sure
to visit the Farmers' Market for fresh produce, great food, and
terrific entertainment!
