The Board of Trustees of the Village of Farmingdale is hereby
directed and authorized to mark off individual parking spaces in the
parking zones and in such other zones as may hereafter be established.
Said parking spaces are to be designated by lines painted or durably
marked upon the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so
marked, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in such a way that
said vehicle shall not be entirely within the limits of the space
so designated. All parking meter spaces shall be so marked that vehicles
will be required to park parallel to the curb or edge of pavement
on any state highway and so that no vehicle will be required to park
in violation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Except in a period of emergency determined by an officer of
the Village Fire Department or the Police Department of the County
of Nassau, or in compliance with the directions of a police officer
or traffic control sign or signal, when any vehicle shall be parked
in any parking space alongside or next to which a parking meter is
located, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering said parking
meter space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in said
meter such proper coin of the United States as is required for such
parking meter and as is designated by proper direction on the meter,
and when required by the direction on the meter, the operator of such
vehicle, after the deposit of the proper coin or coins, shall also
set in operation the timing mechanism on such meter in accordance
with the directions properly appearing therein, and failure to deposit
such proper coin and to set the timing mechanism in operation when
so required shall constitute a violation of this chapter. Upon deposit
of such coin and the setting of the timing mechanism in operation
when so required, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such
vehicle during the period of legal parking time which has been purchased
by the coin or coins deposited, provided that any person placing a
vehicle in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates
unused time shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his
occupancy of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking
time. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space
beyond the parking time limit set for parking place, and if the meter
shall indicate such illegal parking, then and in that event such vehicle
shall be considered as parking overtime and beyond the period of legal
parking time, and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this
chapter.
The following time limits are hereby prescribed for parking meter zones set forth in §
98-42A:
A. Parking or standing a vehicle in a designated space in a parking
meter zone shall be lawful for one hour upon deposit of a ten-cent
coin of the United States of America.
[Amended 6-13-1977 by L.L. No. 5-1977; 3-23-1987]
B. Said parking meters shall be operated in said parking meter zones
on Mondays. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between the hours of
9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays between the hours
of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Said parking meters shall not be operated
in said parking meter zones on Sundays and holidays.
[Amended 7-26-1971; 10-30-1972]
C. The maximum parking time for legal continuous parking in any one
metered space shall be limited and restricted to a period of not longer
than one hour at a time on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
of each week between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and on Fridays
and Saturdays of each week between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00
p.m., excluding Sundays and holidays as hereinabove defined, and nothing
herein contained shall permit the purchase from time to time of a
longer period of continuous parking in such space.
D. Parking meter requirements for digital or computer-assisted parking.
The requirements for operation and time limitations of parking meters
described in this article shall apply to parking for parking in digital
or computer-assisted parking zones or areas, except that the Board
of Trustees may, by resolution, establish other rules, requirements,
and fees for parking in digital or computer-assisted parking zones
or areas which rules, requirements and fees shall govern.
[Added 10-11-2022 by L.L. No. 6-2022]
It shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated
Village of Farmingdale and any person designated by them for such
purpose to enforce the provisions of this article.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer shall keep a record of the collection
of fees made from all parking meters of this Village and shall credit
such fees to the general fund.
