[Amended 4-11-2022 by L.L. No. 2-2022]
Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this chapter, the parking of vehicles is hereby prohibited on all highways and streets within the Village, which are maintained by the Village, at any time between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., commencing November 14 and ending on April 1 of each year.
The Village Board has determined that overnight parking in village-owned or -maintained parking lots must be restricted to permit proper maintenance and snow removal. Moreover, the Village Board recognizes the shortage of off-street parking in certain districts of the village and, in particular, the business districts. In an effort to accommodate each of these concerns, the Village Board has determined that parking in village-owned or -maintained parking lots between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. during the period beginning November 15 and ending April 1 of each year shall be prohibited, except as provided in this Article IV of this Chapter 217. The Village Board has further determined that parking in village-owned or -maintained parking lots between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. the following day during the period beginning November 15 and ending April 1 of each year shall be permitted only if the vehicle owner has obtained a parking permit from the village in accordance with the provisions of §§ 217-29 and 217-30 of this chapter.
Any vehicle owner desiring to park his vehicle in a parking lot owned or maintained by the village during the hours from 9:00 p.m. through 7:00 a.m. the following day during the period beginning November 15 and ending April 1 of any year shall apply for a permit from the Village Clerk, and if a permit is so issued by the Village Clerk, such vehicle owner may park his vehicle in the parking lot designated by the Village Clerk at the time the permit is issued during the aforesaid hours.
An application for the permit required pursuant to § 217-29 shall be filed with the Village Clerk, in writing, and shall contain the following information:
A. 
The name of the vehicle owner.
B. 
Information concerning the vehicle for which the permit is required, including the license number, the registration number, the name of the person who has title to the vehicle, the insurance company which insures the vehicle and the insurance identification number.
C. 
A statement of the reasons why the vehicle owner requires a permit. For purposes of this requirement, the applicant must demonstrate that the applicant lives within two blocks of the parking lot for which the applicant seeks a permit and that the applicant's residence does not provide sufficient parking for the applicant.
D. 
The village parking lot for which the permit is sought.
The Village Board shall be authorized to designate which parking lots within the village shall be designated for permit parking and which sections of each said parking lot shall be available for permit parking and the number of parking spaces in each such section for which permit parking may be available. Permits for each parking lot that the Village Board designates shall be issued on a first-come-first-served basis, based upon those persons who demonstrate the applicable need, as provided in § 217-30C of this chapter.
Any vehicle owner who is denied a permit for any reason, other than the reason that there are no remaining permits available for the designated parking lot, may appeal the determination to the Village Board. Any such appeal shall be heard within 30 days after the appeal has been submitted to the Village Manager.
Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter will designate the parking lot for which the permit is valid. Such permit shall be valid for the period beginning November 15 and ending April 1 or the period, or part thereof, for which it is issued.
A permit shall be valid only for the person to whom the permit has been issued and only for the vehicle for which it has been issued. In no event may a permit be assigned, subleased, licensed or otherwise transferred, and any attempted violation of the foregoing shall result in an immediate revocation of the permit in question. For purposes of this section, a permit holder may replace a vehicle for which a permit has been issued with a different vehicle, provided that the requirements of this chapter are satisfied with respect to the replacement vehicle and provided that notice of replacement is provided to the Village Clerk.
Each person to whom a permit is issued shall pay a fee of $25 for each permit issued to such person. Said sum shall be paid upon application thereof and shall be deposited in the general fund of the village. In the event that the applicant is denied a permit, the fee which has been paid to the village will be refunded to such person.
