(D) Occupants of any residence within the Village who desire to prohibit solicitation of any kind for which registration is required under this Chapter upon their residence premises may further provide the Village with their residence address on a form provided by the Village to have the address of such residence placed within a registry maintained by the Village for the purpose of recording the addresses of residences at which occupants so desire to prohibit solicitation. The Village shall provide a list of the addresses contained within such registry to any persons registering under this Chapter, and shall also maintain this list on the Village’s website.

Owners or occupants of a residence shall be permitted to remove the address of such residence from the registry and list maintained by the Village at any time. The Village shall also be authorized to place a residential address within the registry and list maintained by the Village for the purpose herein stated where the Village reasonably determines that the residence at such address is vacant.
