All structures and uses shall be provided with
a sufficient number of off-street parking and loading spaces to meet
the needs of employees, residents, visitors, clients, patrons and
other persons at such structures or uses, but not less than the minimum
requirements of this chapter. No certificate of occupancy shall be
issued for any structure or use, whether for a new structure or for
a change of use of an existing structure, until such off-street parking
and loading spaces have been established in accordance with the requirements
of this chapter.
For reasons of traffic and pedestrian safety,
both on- and off-street, as well as to provide for possible future
road widening or other improvements, all new driveways and sidewalk
crossings entering onto any street shall comply with all requirements
of these regulations and shall be subject to permit approval by the
Planning Board, Rockland County Highway Department or New York State
Department of Transportation for access onto Village, county or state
roads, respectively. No more than two driveway accesses shall be allowed
for any residence.
A. Driveway width. Unobstructed access to and from a
street shall be provided for all parking spaces. Such access shall
consist of one or two twelve-foot-wide lanes.
B. Driveway gradients. The maximum gradient for new access
driveways to single-family dwellings is 12 1/2%, except that
the Planning Board may approve a driveway gradient in excess of 12 1/2%
but not more than 15%, provided that at least two parking spaces are
provided on the lot immediately adjacent to the public right-of-way.
At no time shall the 10 feet of driveway from the edge of pavement
into the property exceed a gradient of 4%. This 10 feet of driveway
from the edge of pavement into the property shall not be included
in the driveway gradient calculation.
