A.
Any motor vehicle owner residing in the Village of
Tarrytown who is handicapped shall, upon written application to the
Village Clerk, accompanied by medical proof of such incapacity satisfactory
to the Village Clerk, be entitled to a handicapped parking permit,
without charge, to be issued by the Village Clerk, effective for a
period of one year from the date of issuance.
B.
The permit shall bear the name of the permit holder
and the license number and description of the motor vehicle for which
the permit is issued and, when affixed to the right rear window of
said motor vehicle owned by him/her and described in his/her application,
shall entitle the permit holder to park in any parking space, metered
or unmetered, where parking is permitted, without regard to any time
limits for individual parking which may otherwise be applicable, except
that the permit holder shall be permitted to park in a metered space
designated for one-hour parking for up to three hours. The maximum
allowable time period for parking in an on-street space designated
for handicapped parking shall be two hours. The permit holder shall
be permitted to park in a nonmetered space that is subject to time
limits for a period of twice the applicable time limit noted on the
parking restriction sign.

Any individual entitled to the above-noted handicapped
parking permit and who is physically incapable of utilizing the established
parking meters may, upon written application to the Village Clerk,
accompanied by medical proof thereof, be entitled to a special handicapped
parking permit. The special handicapped parking permit shall cost
$25 per year and shall entitle the holder to park in any Village parking
space, whether metered or unmetered. The holder shall not be required
to place money in the parking meters. The above-noted time limitations
shall apply.
No vehicle shall be parked in any area clearly
marked for handicapped persons unless said vehicle displays the official
handicapped permit as defined by the Laws of the State of New York
and the County of Westchester.
[Amended 11-20-1995; 1-17-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006]
A.
It shall be the policy of the Village of Tarrytown
to establish from time to time areas designated as parking for the
vehicles of handicapped individuals. "Handicapped" shall include and
be limited to that category of individuals as designated, defined
and qualified under the laws of the State of New York and the County
of Westchester. Individuals possessing a valid permit for handicapped
parking pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and the County
of Westchester shall be permitted to park in those areas designated
by the signs or otherwise as handicapped parking reserved, except
for the fact that the designated parking areas shall be for the exclusive
use of qualified handicapped drivers. All usual rules and regulations
of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown shall apply.
B.
The streets, driveways, parking lots and auto parks or parts of streets, driveways, parking lots and auto parks described in Schedule XXVII (§ 291-92), attached to and made a part of this chapter, are designated for use by the handicapped. The maximum allowable time period for parking shall be two hours unless otherwise indicated. However, the two-hour time limitation for handicapped parking spaces within parking meter zones shall apply only during the hours established for operation of parking meters in that zone.
C.
All vehicles parked in violation of this statute herein
or those vehicles that fail to display the necessary handicapped permit
shall be punishable by a fine of $80. Each day on which a vehicle
is parked or left standing in violation of any of the terms of this
section shall constitute a separate offense.
D.
Owners of private property who have established private
handicapped parking areas may request, pursuant to New York State
Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1610, that the Village of Tarrytown
designate said private handicapped parking areas as a handicapped
parking zone subject to regulation and enforcement pursuant to this
chapter. Owners of private property who request Village enforcement
pursuant to this section shall post and maintain the handicapped parking
areas pursuant to the provisions of the New York State Vehicle and
Traffic Law, and upon the written request of said property owners,
the Village of Tarrytown Police Department shall enforce the provisions
of this chapter on their property.
