The Township, at its discretion, may provide,
at convenient and suitable locations in one or more of the unmetered
parking lots, reserved parking spaces for handicapped, and shall designate
those spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful and a violation
of this article for any person to park in any such reserved parking
space any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either a "handicapped
registration plate," a "handicapped parking placard," a "disabled
veteran registration plate," or a "disabled veteran placard." Provided,
all provisions requirements and restrictions contained in the other
sections of this article shall apply to vehicles lawfully parked in
reserved parking spaces for handicapped.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park
a vehicle or to allow a vehicle to remain parked in any unmetered
parking lot:
A. For longer than the maximum parking time prescribed by §
15-67 of this article.
B. At any time when the lot is not in operation and is
closed to public use.
The unmetered parking lots established by §
15-67 of this article shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other kind or class of vehicle in any such lot.
Every vehicle parked in an unmetered parking
lot shall be parked wholly within the lines bounding or marking the
individual parking space assigned to that vehicle, and shall be parked
headed into the parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person:
A. To park a vehicle in a space not rented by him.
B. To park a vehicle otherwise than as required by this
section.
C. To park a vehicle elsewhere than in an individual
parking space, the prohibited areas including, but not limited to,
the access and exit driveways and turning and maneuvering spaces.
The parking spaces in the unmetered parking lots shall be available for parking on a monthly rental basis only. The rental fee shall be fixed by the Township by a resolution and shall be for a calendar month or the part of a calendar month remaining after the rental arrangements are made. The rental fee shall be paid in advance to the Township Secretary for the use of the Township, and after the first month shall be automatically renewable until the renter notifies the Township that he wishes to terminate the rental arrangements. At any time, however, the Township may, by amending §
15-67 of this article, discontinue provision of a specific unmetered parking lot or a portion of the parking spaces in any such lot, or may change any unmetered parking lot, or part of an unmetered parking lot, to a metered parking lot or to metered parking spaces. The rental parking spaces shall be assigned by the Township Secretary. The name of the renter of a parking space and/or the numbers and/or letters on the registration tag of the vehicle entitled to be parked there shall be posted by the Township at the rental space or shall be painted on the surface of that parking space.
Any person who violates any provision of this
article shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not
more than $15 and costs. Provided, it shall be the duty of the police
officers and of parking enforcement personnel of the Township to report
to the appropriate official all violations of any provision of this
article, indicating, in each case, the section violated; the license
number of the vehicle involved in the violation; the location where
the violation took place; and, any other facts that might be necessary
in order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending
the violation. The police officer or other person making the report
shall also attach to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating
that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article. The notice
shall contain instructions to the owner or driver of the vehicle that
if he will report to the office of the Chief of Police and pay the
sum of $ ____________ within ______ hours after the time of the notice,
or if he will place the sum of $ ____________ enclosed within the
envelope provided, in any of the special parking fine boxes installed
at various locations within the Township, that act will save the violator
from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs prescribed
in the first sentence of this section.
