C. Residential parking. Parking of vehicles accessory to a residential
use shall be limited to those actually used by the residents or for
temporary parking for guests. Vans, motor homes, recreational vehicles,
or pick-up trucks used for private and recreational use, or one similar
vehicle used in a business for transportation to and from a place
of employment, may be parked on a residential property as long as
such use does not become a nuisance to the neighborhood. No vehicle
shall be parking closer than five feet to any side or rear property
line.
D. Flexibility in application. The Town recognizes that, due to the particulars of any given development, the inflexible application of the parking standards set forth in this §
300-12 may result in a development either with inadequate parking space or parking space far in excess of its needs. For example, the parking standards set forth in this §
300-12 does not consider the reduction of required parking spaces due to shared use of parking facilities when the parking needs of the joint users occur at different hours of the day. Therefore, the Town Board, upon recommendation of the Town Plan Commission, may waive enforcement or modification of the dimensional requirements and minimum parking requirements subject to the Town Board and Town Plan Commission making a determination which shall include consideration, but not necessarily an affirmative finding of the following factors:
(1) Whether the request for the waiver or modification, if granted, would
be consistent with the general intent of this section.
(2) Whether the request for the waiver or modification, if granted, would
adversely affect property owners in the surrounding area.
(3) Whether the request for the waiver or modification, if granted, would
benefit the petitioner's project in a way that is not inconsistent
with the Town's interests.
(4) Whether the petitioner is in full compliance with applicable ordinances
and agreements with the Town.
(5) Whether, instead of granting the request for the waiver or modification,
the section itself should be changed to accommodate the kind of situation
presented by the petitioner.
