[Added 5-2-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-03]
The governing body of the Borough of Seaside Heights finds and determines combat-wounded service members have made great sacrifices which often go unrecognized. Therefore, to honor such men and women who have selflessly served their country, the Borough will designate certain parking spaces as Purple Heart parking to grant certain parking privileges to wounded combat veterans that have received the Purple Heart.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any area designated as Purple Heart parking unless the vehicle bears the Purple Heart license plate or placard issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 39:4-207.10) permits exemption from payment of municipal parking meter fees, for up to 24 hours, for Purple Heart recipients when the vehicle displays a Purple Heart license plate or placard issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The Purple Heart veteran shall be the driver or passenger of the vehicle.
In accordance with the provisions of this article, the following locations are designated as Purple Heart Parking:
A. 
Three parking spaces located in municipal parking lot at Grant Avenue;
B. 
One parking space located at Carteret Avenue street end;
C. 
One parking space located at Blaine Avenue street end;
D. 
One parking space located at Franklin Avenue street end.
A. 
Any person violating or failing to comply with any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine of not more than $2,000, by imprisonment for a term not to exceed 90 days or by community service of not more than 90 days, or any combination of fine, imprisonment and community service as determined in the discretion of the Municipal Court Judge. The continuation of such violation for each successive day shall constitute a separate offense, and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation of the violation may be punished as provided above for each separate offense.
B. 
The violation of any provision of this article shall be subject to abatement summarily by a restraining order or injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
