Whereas the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building
Code makes reference to various subjects dealing with fire protection
and for fire prevention practices and provides only general procedures
for administering said code, it is hereby deemed necessary and appropriate
to set forth additional administrative and enforcement procedures
for the Village of Bath to enable the Code Enforcement Official to
effectively enforce the provisions of this section. The specific areas
of fire protection and/or fire prevention which are the subject of
these additional administrative provisions are set forth herein, and
each subject is referenced to the applicable section of the Uniform
Code where such subject is addressed.
A.
Fire Department and emergency service access.
(1)
All premises and buildings in the Village of Bath which a Fire
Department may be called upon to protect in case of fire shall be
provided with suitable access roads and fire lanes so that all buildings
on the premises are accessible. Where new construction or additions
to existing structures are proposed, the Code Enforcement Officer
shall recommend to the Planning Board, or other agency or board responsible
for the approval of such new construction or addition, the location
of access roads and fire lanes. During construction and until such
time as permanent roads and/or fire lanes are in place, suitable access
roads shall be constructed and maintained so as to provide access
for fire-fighting equipment, emergency vehicles and others who may
be required to enter upon the premises for the purpose of making required
inspections or for other purposes.
(2)
Fire lanes in shopping centers, office buildings, places of
assembly and other commercial buildings shall be a minimum of 30 feet
in width and 25 feet in width in multiple-residence districts. The
Code Enforcement Official, with the approval of the Village Board,
shall be authorized to modify the width requirements of fire lanes
where such widths may be in conflict with other requirements of law.
(3)
Fire lanes shall be clearly designated by suitable pavement
markings and/or signs to be provided by the owners or occupants of
the premises. Failure to replace or repair damaged, rusted or faded
signs or pavement markings within 30 days after written notice shall
have been served upon the owner or occupant shall constitute a violation
of this section.
(4)
The signs required to be posted by this section shall conform
to the size and color requirements for parking signs as set forth
in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices of the New York State
Department of Transportation. In addition, said signs shall also:
(5)
The pavement markings required by this section shall be:
(a)
No more than 50 feet apart.
(b)
Painted so as to read in the direction of travel; or, if two-way
traffic is maintained, every other marking shall be painted in the
opposite direction.
(c)
Painted in yellow or white, twenty-four-inch-minimum elongated
height for each letter, eighteen-inch-minimum width for each letter
(except the letter "I") and a five-inch stroke for each letter.
B.
Means of egress. Whenever any special security methods or security
devices deemed necessary by the owner or person generally in charge
of the premises affect the means of egress, such security methods
or security devices shall not be used without first obtaining the
written consent of the Code Enforcement Official.
[Added 1-19-1993 by L.L. No. 2-1993]

In the parking area of every shopping center having five or fewer
stores, 5% of the parking spaces, or two spaces per store, whichever

the pavement within the space and signs conspicuously posted at the
front of each such space.

Parking spaces hereunder reserved for the handicapped shall be located
within the parking area such that two such spaces shall be available
for each store.

of a store in the shopping center than the handicapped parking space
farthest from a store's entrance.
E.
No person may stop, stand or park a vehicle in a parking space reserved
hereby for handicapped persons unless that vehicle displays a special
