All new parking lots and all alterations of existing lots shall
be subject to the approval of the Village Board, after a recommendation
from the Plan Commission. Requests for said parking lots shall be
accompanied with detailed plans on landscaping, parking layout, drainage
provisions and driveway locations. In all districts, except those
areas which are located within the fire zone as designated on the
Official Map, there shall be provided at the time any use or building
is erected, enlarged, extended, or increased off-street parking stalls
for all vehicles in accordance with the following:
A. Access. Adequate access to a public street shall be provided for
each parking space.
B. Design standards. Each required off-street parking space shall have
a stall width of at least nine feet and a stall length of at least
18 feet. No parking area of more than four spaces shall be designed
so as to require any vehicle to back into a public street. Large expanses
of unchanneled parking areas shall be avoided by use of interior landscaping
and safety islands.
C. Location.
(1) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all districts, except
in the street yards of single-family and two-family residence districts,
but shall not be closer than five feet to a side lot line, right-of-way
line or rear lot line.
(2) Off-street parking in the single-family residence and two-family residence districts is permitted in the street yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in §
590-62.
D. Surfacing. All off-street parking areas, except a single parking
space accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall be surfaced with
an all-weather material, such as compacted stone, gravel or blacktop.
E. Additional requirements.
(1) Special residential requirements. Those parking areas for five or
more vehicles, if adjoining a residential use, shall be screened from
such use by a solid wall, fence, evergreen planting of equivalent
visual density or other effective means built and maintained at a
minimum height of five feet. Where a solidly constructed decorative
fence is provided along the interior lot line, the minimum setback
for the parking area shall be five feet from said lot line. Said fence
shall be located a minimum of one foot from said lot line.
(2) Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any
kind shall be permitted in association with parking facilities provided
in residence districts.
(3) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas
shall be directed away from residential properties and public streets
in such a way as not to create a nuisance. However, in no case shall
such lighting exceed three footcandles measured at the lot line.
(4) Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
right-of-way line and the building setback line prevailing in the
zone in which the proposed parking area is to be located. The resulting
open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise landscaped to create
a permanent green area.
F. Curbs. Curbs or barriers shall be installed a minimum of four feet
from a property line so as to prevent the parked vehicles from extending
over any lot lines.

or area shall mean the gross floor area inside the exterior walls,
where floor space is indicated above as a basis for determining the
amount of off-street parking required.
I. Combined uses. Combinations of any of the above uses shall provide
the total of the number of stalls required for each individual use.
Two or more uses may provide required off-street parking spaces in
a common parking facility less than the sum of the spaces required
for each use individually, provided that such uses are not operated
during the same hours. A written agreement satisfactory to the Village
Attorney shall accompany any joint use arrangement.
J. Handicapped parking requirements. In addition to any other requirements
relating to parking spaces contained in this chapter, the provisions
contained in §§ 101.13, 346.503 and 346.56, Wis. Stats.,
and any Wisconsin Administrative Code sections adopted pursuant thereto
are hereby adopted by reference and made applicable to all parking
facilities whenever constructed.
K. Changes in buildings or use. Whenever a building or use is changed,
structurally altered or enlarged to create a need for an increase
of 25% or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces
shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever

floor area, said building or use shall then comply with the parking
requirements set forth in the district in which it is located.
L. Off-lot parking.
(1) Required off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot
with the principal use or, when this requirement cannot be met, such
parking spaces may be located off lot, provided that the parking spaces
are located in the same district. Off-lot parking spaces shall also
be held in fee simple ownership by the owner of the use requiring
such parking or be leased or rented through a written agreement satisfactory
to the Village Attorney.
(2) Off-lot parking spaces for residential uses shall be within 250 feet
of the principal entrance or the entrance for the individual occupants
for whom the spaces are reserved while the farthest portions of a
parking lot for all other uses shall be within 300 feet of the entrance
of the establishment.
(3) Accessory parking may be located in residential districts, provided
that said lots or property is immediately adjacent to a commercial,
business or industrial zoning district.
(4) All off-street parking lots adjoining lots zoned for residential
use shall have a minimum setback of 10 feet from any interior lot
line, except if the adjoining lot is used for legally conforming parking
purposes.
M. Parking requirement exceptions. The Plan Commission may grant exceptions,
through the issuance of a conditional use permit, to the off-street
parking requirements where, because of small lot sizes or historic
development patterns, it is either impractical or infeasible to meet
the provisions of this section.
