[Added 8-21-1995 by Ord. No. 1102]
Whenever the Fire Chief shall determine that the parking of motor or other vehicles on any portion of any public street, private street, shopping center, multifamily building parking lot or school is likely to interfere with the operation of the fire company or seriously hamper egress of occupants from buildings in case of fire, he or she shall designate such areas, in writing, including the use of maps or sketches, numbered consecutively, to the Zoning Officer. After review by the Zoning Officer, Council shall consider such recommendations of the Fire Chief and shall either approve or disapprove each of such designated locations. Once approved, each such location shall be added to a list, numbered consecutively, and maintained in the municipal offices of the Borough. Such lists may be modified, added to or reduced from time to time, after written recommendations by said Fire Chief.
