[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough
of Barrington 5-14-1974 by Ord.
No. 301. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Amended 8-10-1976 by Ord. No. 338]
The Mayor and Borough Council, after due consideration, considers
it to be in the best interest of the Borough of Barrington and its
residents in order to preserve the health, welfare and safety of its
residents to prohibit off-street parking in areas which do not meet
the standards as set forth herein.
[Amended 8-10-1976 by Ord. No. 338; 1-19-2006 by Ord. No. 832]
A.Â
All off-street parking spaces shall be paved and have permanent all-weather
surfaces, shall have proper and safe paved access from the street
and shall be provided within a structure or in the open, provided
that a parking space for one vehicle shall equal 10 feet by 20 feet
in size and shall have a paved and permanent all-weather hard surface
to provide convenient access in all seasons. This shall apply to lots
fronting on Borough streets.
B.Â
Driveway aprons shall extend to the back edge of the sidewalk or
right-of-way line if no sidewalk exists, and a driveway shall be made
of concrete, asphalt or pavers and extend from the sidewalk, or right-of-way
line if no sidewalk exists, to at least the front of the dwelling.
C.Â
For purposes of this chapter, the phrase "paved and have permanent
all-weather surfaces" shall be interpreted to include stone driveways
and parking lots for off-street parking.
[Amended 1-19-2006 by Ord. No. 832]
It shall be illegal to park, store or otherwise place in any
front yard, side yard, or back yard or on any lawn adjacent to any
public roadway or street any passenger motor vehicle, commercial motor
vehicle, bus, trailer, boat, airplane, motorcycle, motor scooter or
any similar type means of conveyance. This prohibition shall not apply
to legally paved parking lots, driveways or similar paved areas as
described above but shall apply to any lawns, landscaped areas or
the like.
[Amended 8-10-1976 by Ord. No. 338; 1-19-2006 by Ord. No. 832]
Off-street parking is expressly prohibited in all districts
except where the standards and requirements set forth above are met.
Off-street parking is specifically prohibited in areas not possessing
permanent paved all-weather surfaces, it being the specific legislative
intent of the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Barrington that
motor vehicles not be permitted to be parked on sod, grass, or nonpermanent
surfaces and that, by virtue of an existent fire hazard and in the
best interest of the health, welfare and safety of the residents of
this Borough, no vehicles be permitted to park in such a fashion as
to prohibit ingress or egress to structures, buildings or homes within
this Borough and that all parking facilities shall and must have proper
paved access from the public street, if fronting thereon.
