A. This chapter shall not be construed to prohibit any act for which a permit is required when the performance of such act is reasonably necessary for the preservation of life or property in an emergency. In all such cases, however, the person performing such act shall apply for a permit therefor at the earliest practicable time thereafter, in any event not later than the next succeeding day during which the office of the road commissioner is open.

B. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. (Ord. 76-5 § 1, 1976)
