A. 
Purpose; title; definitions.
(1) 
Purpose. The Bellefonte Borough Council has determined that hazardous and unsafe traffic conditions within the Borough exist because large vehicles are often parked or stored on streets or in the front yard setback areas in the Borough. These hazardous and unsafe traffic conditions create a nuisance, reduce visibility and are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents and others, impede emergency vehicles (including fire trucks, ambulances, etc.) and interfere with the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the residents in their homes and neighborhoods. The Borough Council has determined that the following language shall replace § 530-41 of the ordinances to remediate the foregoing.
(2) 
Title. The section shall be renamed to "Restrictions on the parking and storing of large vehicles."
(3)

This permit is issued to the undersigned only for their sole use. The permit is nontransferable.
