Off-street parking spaces, with a proper and safe access, shall
be provided within a structure or in the open in such a number or
numbers for each use as is required pursuant to the table contained
in this subsection.
A. Any application for any development permit or a special use permit
shall include with it a plot plan showing any parking or loading or
unloading facilities in existence or to be constructed in compliance
with the regulations of this chapter.
B. Dimensions for off-street automobile parking.
(1)
A required off-street parking space for institutional, commercial,
or industrial use shall be in an area not less than 189 feet square
or less than nine feet wide by 19 feet long, exclusive of access drives
or aisles, ramps, columns or office and work area accessible from
streets or alleys or from private driveways or aisles leading to streets
or alleys and to be used for the storage of parking or passenger automobiles
or commercial vehicles under 1 1/2 tons' capacity. Aisles
between vehicular parking spaces shall not be less than 12 feet in
width when serving automobiles parked at a 45° angle in one direction
not less than 20 feet in width when serving vehicles parking perpendicular
to the aisles and accommodating two-way traffic.
(2)
Parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means
of vehicular access to a street or alley in such manner as will least
interfere with the movement of traffic. No driveway or curb in any
district shall exceed 25 feet in width.
C. Location of required spaces. No parking space or portion thereof
established on the same zoning lot with a building shall be located
within a required front yard. No parking spaces or portions thereof
established on a lot without a building shall be located closer to
any street line than the front yard setback required for the district
in which the parking lot is located. Further, any wall, fence or hedge
developed around any parking area shall be subject to the front yard
setback requirement of this chapter in the same manner as a structure
or building.
D. Parking lot guidelines. In addition to the general considerations
for determining parking lot requirements, the Planning Board shall
use the following as guidelines, rather than requisite, for determining
the amount of requisite parking:

E. Handicapped parking. Adequate parking for handicapped persons shall

with all state and federal ADA regulations (ICC/ANSI A117.1).
F. Parking lot design.
(1)
No more than two curb cuts shall be created for access into
a parking lot.
(2)
The Planning Board may require curbing to ensure proper drainage,
delineate the parking area and driveway access; stacking lanes to
avoid stacking of vehicles into the public right-of-way; bicycle parking
spaces; use of pervious pavement; or incorporation of low-impact stormwater
methods such as bioswales and rain gardens to control runoff.
Fences shall be allowed in all districts, except that no fence shall be taller in height than six feet unless the same is 15 feet from the property line and the same encompasses a swimming pool or tennis court, and no fence, not approved and meeting the requirements of §
405-703D, shall be located within 50 feet of the lake.
Exceptions to lot frontage requirements may be granted for lots
designed as flag lots, provided that:
A. In the opinion of the Planning Board, the character of the land precludes
typical subdivision development, or a unique and desirable lot can
be created.
B. The proposed lot has a minimum lot frontage of 25 feet, as measured
along the right-of-way of the fronting highway throughout the entire
length leading to the buildable portion of the lot and there shall
be 100 feet width at the actual building line.
C. The required setbacks can be met when measured from the point where
the lot meets the required minimum lot width for that zoning district.
D. The minimum driveway width for a flag lot is 20 feet.
E. The flagpole portion of the lot shall not be considered in determining
the area of the lot.
F. The flagpole portion of the flag lot shall be under the same ownership
as the flag portion of the lot.
