The Council of the Borough of Ingram shall have
the authority within its discretion to establish limited no-parking
zones upon the public streets of the Borough under the following procedure:
A. Council may consider the establishment of a limited
no-parking zone only upon receipt of a written request received by
the Manager and/or a member of Council from a property owner in the
Borough requesting the establishment of the limited no-parking zone
at such property wherein the applicant resides and describing the
need for the same.
B. Upon receipt of such request, the Manager and/or Council
shall refer the same to the Police and Fire Committee and the Highways,
Health and Sanitation Committee ("committees") for their review and
investigation to determine the necessity of the establishment of the
limited no-parking zone.
C. Upon conclusion of their investigation, the Committees
shall present a report to Council detailing the extent of their investigation
and providing a recommendation to Council concerning the establishment
of the limited no-parking zone.
D. Upon receipt of such information set forth in Subsection
C above and upon receipt of any other information or reports which the Council of the Borough deems necessary and appropriate, the Borough Council may consider, by resolution at a regularly scheduled public meeting, approving the limited no-parking zone.
E. Upon establishment of the limited no-parking zone,
parking shall be prohibited at all times in the designated location.
The establishment of a limited no-parking zone
shall be subject to the following standards and requirements:
A. The area in which parking shall be prohibited shall
not exceed the length of 15 feet unless extraordinary circumstances
exist requiring a greater length of area.
B. The area shall be designated by no-parking signs and/or
the painting of a yellow curbline.
C. The applicant shall submit a nonrefundable processing
fee to the Borough, in the amount as set from time to time by resolution
of the Borough Council, at the time of making the request for the establishment
of the limited no-parking zone. The fee for such request may be changed
from time to time by resolution of the Borough.
D. The limited no-parking zone shall be effective only
for such period of time as the applicant shall reside at the property
for which the no-parking zone is requested.
The Council of the Borough shall not be under
any legal obligation to grant any request for the establishment of
the limited no-parking zone, and the granting or denial of the same
constitutes a discretionary ministerial act of the Borough Council.
