From after the effective date of this chapter,
all properties used or proposed to be used for off-street parking
purposes consisting of three or more parking spaces shall be evaluated
by the Village Police Chief, Fire Chief and Department of Public Works
Superintendent and such other Village Council-appointed representative
as may be deemed necessary. An evaluation report shall be submitted
by each official covering principal points of concern as follows:
A. Fire Chief.
(1) Relationship of entry and exit points of parking area
to fire truck routes and recommended relocations or disapproval, if
any.
(2) Relationship of parking area from a fire hazard standpoint
to surrounding or adjacent uses, if any.
B. Police Chief.
(1) Relationship of entry and exit points to Village streets
and recommendations for relocation or disapproval if hazardous conditions
have or will be created with regards to traffic movement.
C. Department of Public Works Superintendent.
(1) Effects of surface drainage caused or anticipated
to occur from location of parking area.
(2) Relationship of surface construction or proposed surface
construction to adjacent public street surfaces and effect, if any,
thereon. Of particular concern shall be the effect of gravel surface
parking areas adjacent to bituminous paved street surfaces and resultant
damage that occurs by vehicular passage from the gravel area to the
paved area.
(3) Adequacy of the area with regard to the cleaning of
snow and removal from or storage on the premises.
D. Council-appointed representative.
(1) Such information relating to engineering design, feasibility
of site for current or intended use and other data as the Council

All off-street parking areas licensed under
the provision of this chapter shall be inspected at least once a year
by the DPW Superintendent and such other officials as deemed necessary
by the Village Council, and a report as to adequacy and maintenance
thereof shall be filed with the Village Clerk.
