A. Use of permit.
(1) Any vehicle bearing a handicapped parking permit issued
pursuant to § 1203-a of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the
State of New York is authorized to park in any area in the Village
designated for parking for the handicapped. The Village Police Department
is the appointed agent for the Village to issue handicapped parking
permits, and it shall issue handicapped parking permits to any eligible
severely disabled person (as defined in Subdivision 3 of § 404-a
of the Vehicle and Traffic Law) who is a resident of New York State
or any eligible agency that transports handicapped individuals.
(2) The Village Clerk shall keep a list of parking areas
designated for the handicapped in the Village, a copy of which list
can be obtained at the Village Clerk's office.
B. Establishment of spaces for parking for handicapped
persons. The Planning Board of the Village is hereinafter empowered
to require the inclusion of spaces for handicapped parking in any
site plan for the construction of shopping centers and all office
uses in the Village.
C. Use of permit by unauthorized person. Any person to
whom a permit has not been issued and who should use a permit for
any purpose other than parking a motor vehicle while transporting
a physically handicapped person shall be guilty of a traffic infraction
within the meaning of § 1800 of the Vehicle and Traffic
Law.
D. Parking permit; limitations on use. A vehicle bearing
such parking permit for the handicapped shall be deemed in violation
of the applicable rules and regulations governing parking in the Village
when such vehicle shall be parked in a bus stop, a taxi stand, within
15 feet of a fire hydrant, a fire zone, a fire lane, a firehouse,
a driveway or a crosswalk or when such vehicle shall be double parked.
E. Violation.
(1) Whenever any motor vehicle which does not bear a parking
permit for the handicapped is found parked in an area designated for
handicapped parking, the Police Department of the Village shall have
the power, right and authority to issue an appearance ticket, as the
same is defined in Article 150 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the
State of New York, for the violation of this section.
(2) If there is no response in the Justice Court to the
appearance ticket issued, the Court shall issue a summons to the owner
of the motor vehicle to which the appearance ticket was affixed and
direct that the same be served upon said owner. In any prosecution
charging a violation of this section, proof that the defendant named
in the summons issued by the Court was at the time of the violation
the registered owner thereof shall constitute a presumption that the
registered owner of such vehicle was the person who parked or placed
the vehicle at the point where and for the time during which such
violation occurred or who gave his or her consent to the person who
parked or placed the vehicle at the point where and for the time during
which such violation occurred.
(3) Penalties for violation. Every person convicted of
a traffic infraction for a violation of any provision of this section
which is not a violation of any provision of the Vehicle and Traffic
Law of the State of New York shall, for a first conviction thereof,
be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100 or by
imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment;
for a second such conviction within 18 months thereafter, such person
shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $250
or by imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or by both such fine
and imprisonment; upon a third or subsequent conviction within 18
months after the first conviction, such person shall be punished by
a fine of not more than $250 or by imprisonment for not more than
90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
