[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mamaroneck 1-8-1990 as L.L. No. 1-1990, effective 1-16-1990. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter shall be to improve
and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community
by establishing traffic regulations within parking areas, apartment
complexes, supermarkets and any other private property devoted to
public use and access. The Village Board of Trustees finds that improper
parking on certain private properties open to the public may impede
the accessibility of fire apparatus in fighting any potential fires
on private property. The purpose of this chapter is to keep fire lanes
open so as to make private property accessible to Fire Department
and emergency service vehicles.
As used in this chapter, the following words
shall have the following meanings:
The Village of Mamaroneck Fire Inspector or his designated
representative.
A passageway or roadway, with a minimum width of 10 feet,
along which Fire Department equipment, fire-fighting apparatus and
emergency service vehicles may gain access to private property to
fight fires and/or give aid.
The prevention or hindrance of free movement along or over
a fire lane through some means other than a parked vehicle.
The standing or halting of a vehicle, whether occupied or
not, other than temporarily for the purpose of, and while actually
engaged in, loading or unloading.
Every natural person, firm, copartnership, association or
corporation.
Fire Department connection, either freestanding or directly
attached to a structure.
Fire Department connection, either freestanding or directly
attached to a structure.
Every device in, upon or by which any person or property
is or may be transported or carried.
Fire lanes and standpipe and siamese locations
shall be established and designated by resolution of the Village Board
of Trustees, pursuant to such specifications as may be given by the
Village Fire Inspector. The Village Fire Inspector shall weigh all
factors as to the advisability of fire lanes, including but not limited
to facts and circumstances disclosed in communications with landowners.
Notwithstanding and not in limitation of any
other provision thereof, no automobile, truck or other motor vehicle
and no physical object or material of any nature, shall be parked,
placed or permitted to remain for any length of time whatever within
a clearance of three feet in any direction from the fire standpipe
and sprinkler siamese connections. A clearance of three feet shall
be maintained at all times to allow the Fire Department serving the
affected area of the Village of Mamaroneck adequate access to the
same.
For the purpose of maintaining an accurate record of fire lanes designated and established under the provisions of this chapter, there is hereby established a system of schedules set forth in § 183-11 of this chapter, in which shall be entered a description of all fire lanes adopted.
Signs shall be installed, together with other
markings as may be deemed necessary and proper by the Fire Inspector,
to mark and designate fire lanes and in accord with applicable standards
of the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Said
signs and markings shall be installed by and at the expense of the
owner of the property within 30 calendar days after receipt of official
notice by the Fire Inspector designating and depicting areas and locations
of such signs and markings. In the event that any owner refuses or
fails to install any and all required signs and markings within the
thirty-day period following receipt of said official notice, the Village
of Mamaroneck Traffic Sign Department shall promptly perform the required
work, and the Village Board may provide for the assessment of all
costs and expenses so incurred by the Village in connection with any
action taken as above, to become a lien against the land on which
such signs and markings are located.
No person shall park a vehicle within any area
designated and established as a fire lane. Any person violating this
provision shall, upon conviction, be punished by a minimum fine of
$25 for the first offense; for the second offense within one year,
by a fine of $50; and for any subsequent offense within one year from
the date of the first offense, by a fine pursuant to the penalties
as imposed by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building
Code. The Police Department shall have authority to have any vehicle
parked in violation of this chapter towed or otherwise removed at
the expense of the owner of the vehicle.
No person shall obstruct a fire lane. Every
person violating this provision shall, upon conviction, be punished
by a fine not to exceed $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding
15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The Village of Mamaroneck
may also institute any appropriate actions or proceedings to prevent
such obstruction, to restrain and to correct or abate such violation
and/or to remove the same.
The parking, placing, stopping or standing of any motor vehicle or any other object or material within any area designated as a fire lane shall be a violation of this chapter. It shall be the duty of the Police Department of the Village of Mamaroneck and/or the Village's duly appointed Fire Inspector to inspect and enforce fire lanes and to see that the lanes are maintained free from obstruction. In addition to the penalties set forth in §§ 183-7 and 183-8 of this chapter, the Police Department, or such public agency or private person, firm or corporation as may be designated by them, shall have the authority to have any motor vehicle, object or material in violation of this chapter towed or otherwise removed at the owner's expense.
Any police officer, parking enforcement officer
or Fire Inspector of the Village of Mamaroneck shall issue a summons
for the violation of this chapter to the owner or any person operating
or controlling any automobile, truck, motor vehicle, object or material
parked or placed within any restricted fire lane as hereby designated.
Whenever any other violation of any of the provisions of this chapter
is found to exist, it shall be reported by the Fire Chief of the Fire
Department serving the affected area of the Village of Mamaroneck
to the Fire Inspector of the Village of Mamaroneck, who shall then
issue an order directed to the owner or occupant of the premises affected
to remove any dangerous materials or remedy any other hazardous conditions
as he may direct, within 24 hours, and, upon the failure or refusal
of the person to whom such order is directed duly to comply therewith
upon the complaint of the Fire Chief of the Fire Department serving
the affected area of the Village of Mamaroneck, a summons shall be
issued to such person for such violation.
