wide by 20 feet long for automobiles and 16 feet wide by 20 feet long

(3)
Distance to facility entrances for the location of off-street
parking for persons with disabilities. Off-street parking spaces provided
for the use of persons with disabilities shall be located as close
as possible to an entrance which allows such persons to enter and

(4)
Signage of off-street parking spaces serving persons with disabilities.
All parking spaces provided for the use of disabled persons shall
be marked by a sign which includes the international symbol for barrier-free
environments and a statement informing the public that the parking
space is reserved for use by disabled persons. Such signs shall comply
with the requirements of the aforementioned "Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities," as amended, and
with §§ 346.50, 346.503, and 346.505, Wis. Stats.,
as amended.
Off-street loading spaces accessory to designated uses shall
be provided as follows:
A. Location. All required loading spaces shall be located on the same
lot as the use served. No permitted or required loading space shall
be located within 40 feet of the nearest point of intersection of
any two streets. No loading space shall be located in a required side
yard abutting a residential zoning district, residential portion of
a PUD District, or a required front yard.
B. Access. Each required off-street loading space shall be designed
with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in
a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement. Loading
spaces on lots located adjacent to public ways shall be so situated
as to enable the vehicles to back into the loading dock from areas
other than public ways. The blocking of loading spaces by other loading
spaces, permanent or moveable structures of any type, including trash
receptacles or compactors, shall be prohibited.
C. Surfacing. All open off-street loading spaces shall be improved with pavement and stormwater drainage facilities in accordance with such standards set forth in §
500-117 of this chapter, unless otherwise exempted from such requirements as set forth under the provisions of §
500-117D and
E.
[Amended 6-18-2002 by Ord. No. 02-007]
D. Computation. Where the total floor area of the use being served is
less than 2,000 square feet, the required off-street loading spaces
may be used to satisfy the requirements for any off-street parking
spaces. Employee parking maneuver areas may also be used for access
to loading docks and as truck standing areas.
E. Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any
kind shall be permitted in conjunction with loading facilities provided
in any residential or nonresidential zoning districts.
F. Maneuvering space required to service outdoor loading areas. Adequate
off-street truck maneuvering area shall be provided on site and not
within any public street right-of-way or other public lands.
G. Interference with fire exit or emergency access prohibited. Off-street
loading facilities shall be designed so as not to interfere with any
fire exits or emergency access facilities to either a building or
site.
No direct private access shall be permitted to the existing or proposed rights-of-way of expressways nor to any controlled-access arterial street without permission of the highway agency that has access-control jurisdiction. Additional access requirements are set forth in greater detail in §
500-112 of this chapter.
In order to minimize the number of vehicular access points on arterial and collector streets when development occurs in an area, the Town may require an area circulation plan be prepared pursuant to the requirements set forth in §
500-112A(5) of this chapter.
