[Added 12-7-2022 by L.L. No. 6-2022]
(1) Legislative intent. The Board of Trustees hereby finds that a shortage
of municipal and private off-street parking exists within certain
areas in the Village, including the Jericho Turnpike Overlay District
and the Historic Overlay District, thus creating congestion and also
causing a negative impact upon the viability of the Village's
business community. The Board also finds that an alternative to obtaining
a parking variance as set forth in § 550-57D(2)(b) for properties
located in the Jericho Turnpike Overlay District and the Historic
Overlay District will be in the best interests of the Village and
will promote the health, safety and welfare of the community. Accordingly,
in order to further the goal of creating future municipal and private
off-street parking in the Village, the Board hereby seeks to establish
a Parking Trust Fund.
(2) Creation of parking trust fund. There is hereby created a Parking
Trust Fund in the Incorporated Village of Mineola for the purpose
of receiving funds paid in lieu of providing on-site parking spaces
and for the further purpose of providing a source of funds for the
provision of future municipal off-street parking, including the acquisition
of land for that purpose.
(3) Alternate parking variance procedure. As an alternative to obtaining
a parking variance as set forth in § 550-57D(2)(b) for properties
located in the Jericho Turnpike Overlay District and the Historic
Overlay District, the Board of Trustees shall be authorized to grant
an alternate form of relief as set forth herein. The Board of Trustees
in its discretion may vary the parking requirements established in
the Jericho Turnpike Overlay District and the Historic Overlay District
by reducing the number of parking spaces required for a specific use
or structure at the property under consideration, provided that any
such relief shall only be granted subject to a condition requiring
a payment to the Village of the sum of $2,000 per parking space so
waived, varied or modified for deposit by the Village into the Parking
Trust Fund.
(4) Dedicated trust fund. Any moneys deposited into the Parking Trust
Fund shall constitute a trust fund to be used by the Board of Trustees
exclusively for municipal parking including, but not limited to, the
acquisition, improvement and maintenance of land, facilities or parking
equipment for said purpose.
(5) Payment required. Payment of the required fee to the Parking Trust
Fund shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of a building permit
or other municipal certificate.
Each parking space shall be paved in accordance with the Village
Specification Code and shall have minimum dimensions of nine feet
by 20 feet with driveways of sufficient width to afford accessibility
to each parking space. All parking areas shall have sufficient self-contained
drainage, adequate means of ingress and egress, asphalt paving and
proper lighting.
[Amended 5-1-1991 by L.L. No. 7-1991]
Wherever the state, county, Village or other municipal corporation
has established a setback line for road widening or other public improvement
purposes, then, in that event, no building shall extend beyond such
setback line established by such authority.
