The Township, at its discretion, may provide, at convenient
and suitable locations in one or more of the unmetered parking lots,
reserved parking spaces for handicapped, and shall designate those
spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful and a violation
of this Part for any person to park in any such reserved parking space
any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either a "handicapped
registration plate," a "handicapped parking placard," a "disabled
veteran registration plate," or a "disabled veteran placard." Provided,
all provisions, requirements and restrictions contained in the other
Sections of this Part shall apply to vehicles lawfully parked in reserved
parking spaces for handicapped.
[Ord. 231, 10/14/2008]
The unmetered parking lots established by §
15-501 shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other kind or class of vehicle in any such lot.
[Ord. 231, 10/14/2008]
The parking spaces in the unmetered parking lots shall be available for parking on a monthly rental basis only. The rental fee shall be fixed by the Township by a resolution and shall be for a calendar month or the part of a calendar month remaining after the rental arrangements are made. The rental fee shall be paid in advance to the [Designated Official] for the use of the Township, and after the first month shall be automatically renewable until the renter notifies the Township that he wishes to terminate the rental arrangements. At any time, however, the Township may, by amending §
15-501, discontinue provision of a specific unmetered parking lot or a portion of the parking spaces in any such lot, or may change any unmetered parking lot, or part of an unmetered parking lot, to a metered parking lot or to metered parking spaces. The rental parking spaces shall be assigned by the [Designated Official]. The name of the renter of a parking space and/or the numbers and/or letters on the registration tag of the vehicle entitled to be parked there shall be posted by the Township at the rental space or shall be painted on the surface of that parking space.
[Ord. 231, 10/14/2008]
Any person who violates any provision of this Part shall, upon
conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $15 and costs.
Provided, it shall be the duty of the police officers and of parking
enforcement personnel of the Township to report to the appropriate
official all violations of any provision of this Part, indicating,
in each case, the Section violated; the license number of the vehicle
involved in the violation; the location where the violation took place;
and, any other facts that might be necessary in order to secure a
clear understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
The police officer or other person making the report shall also attach
to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating that the vehicle
was parked in violation of this Part. The notice shall contain instructions
to the owner or driver of the vehicle that if he will report to the
office of the Chief of Police and pay the sum of $_____ within _____
hours after the time of the notice, or if he will place the sum of
$_____ enclosed within the envelope provided, in any of the special
parking fine boxes installed at various locations within the Township,
that act will save the violator from prosecution and from payment
of the fine and costs prescribed in the first sentence of this section.
