A.
Restrictions.
(1)
No parking will be allowed on any roads, streets or Town parking lots within the Town between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. between November 1 of any year and May 1 of the following year.
B.
Exceptions.
(1)
Registration. Owners of vehicles who reside in C-1 Zones who do not have private parking facilities available to them and who must park their vehicles in designated municipal parking spaces may register with the Police Department on a form to be prepared by the Police Department, which form shall contain sufficient information to enable the Police Department to contact such persons for the moving of their vehicles when snow removal necessitates such vehicle moving.
(2)
Shared information. Duplicate copies of the parking registration form shall be shared with the Highway Department, and certain personnel of that department will be designated and authorized to also make contact with vehicle owners when necessary.
(3)
Identification. Each registrant will be provided with a distinctive window sticker which shall be affixed to the rear left passenger window of his or her vehicle, and vehicles so tabbed and identified shall be exempt from the provisions of Subsection A(1) for so long as their owners maintain a record of cooperation with police and street personnel when asked to relocate their vehicles in an emergency, which record of cooperation shall be noted on their registration form. Repeated lack of cooperation shall result in revocation of the parking exemption herein created.
(4)
Discretion. In the case of violations by nonregistered vehicles, if no immediate snow emergency exists when such vehicles are found, the first tagging of such a vehicle is to be a warning, rather than a citation, said warning to have a reproduction of Subsection A and this subsection printed thereon, with a record maintained by a vehicle plate number to enable repeat offenders to be cited. Enforcement of these subsections should be guided by the purposes for which it was enacted, namely to enable snow removal.
(5)
Exempt vehicles and owner's extended absences. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of an exempt vehicle, when he or she expects to be away from the Town without his or her vehicle for any extended period of time (defined as an absence that embraces two or more consecutive days), to so advise the Police Department and, if requested to do so, to park his or her vehicle in a specific spot to be designated by the Highway Superintendent.
(6)
Sackett Business District.
(a)
Findings and purpose. A determination has been made that, in order to provide for snow removal in the Sackett Business District, it is necessary to require vehicles with a valid reason for parking overnight to be registered with the Town Police Department. This will enable vehicle owners to be contacted when the need arises for the purpose of snow removal.
Parking between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., from November 1 of any year and May 1 of the following year, shall be prohibited in municipal parking lots unless vehicles are registered with the Town Police Department pursuant to § 280-22.
No parking of vehicles shall take place between the sidewalk and curb, or within the street right-of-way if no sidewalk or curbs exist, for the purpose of accommodating residents of residential dwellings, except for circumstances such as yard sales, garage sales, receptions or like events, the duration of which shall be less than one day.
A.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle or permit a vehicle owned by him or her to be stopped, standing, or parked in any area designated as a place for handicapped parking unless the vehicle bears a permit issued under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1203-a, or is registered in accordance with Vehicle and Traffic Law § 404-a, and such vehicle is used for the transportation of a severely disabled or handicapped person.
