If the Planning Board, during its site plan
review and prior to the issuance of a building permit, determines
that loading berth facilities are required to accommodate truck deliveries
or shipments by a vehicle of the tractor-trailer type, the number,
location and type of loading berths to be provided shall be established
by the Planning Board and shall be shown on the proposed site plan.
A.
Except for premises used for single-family or two-family
dwellings, the minimum required size of each parking space shall be
nine feet by 20 feet, and, in addition, there shall be aisles providing

site plan review, such facilities will afford greater safety for vehicles
and pedestrians or protection to abutting properties and streets.
H.
For properties used for nonresidential purposes, no
curb cut shall be greater than 25 feet in width, closer than 25 feet
to any street intersection or closer than 15 feet to any property

use served. However, if an applicant for a building permit or certificate
of occupancy finds that he is unable to comply with this provision,
he may be granted relief in the form of a variance by the Zoning Board
of Appeals, but only to the extent that:
(1)
The applicant can himself provide the required
number of parking spaces within 500 feet of the lot; or
(2)
The applicant can demonstrate that there are
available to his particular use certain private off-street parking
facilities within 500 feet of the lot which are intended to serve
other uses but during different hours of operation from that of the
applicant, and provided that a properly executed agreement, to ensure
the permanent and uninterrupted use of such parking lot area during
the applicant's hours of operation, is filed with the Zoning Board
of Appeals; or
(3)
The applicant can demonstrate that he is unable to comply with the provisions of Subsection A(1) and (2) above, and he agrees to pay to the Village an amount of money equal to the cost of construction of the number of spaces he is required to provide. Such cost shall be computed in accordance with the amounts most recently set by resolution of the Board of Trustees, and all moneys collected shall be deposited to a special account for the purpose of acquiring, constructing or improving municipal parking facilities in the Village.
[Amended 3-14-2005 by L.L. No. 1-2005]
B.
If an applicant for a building permit or certificate
of occupancy is able to provide the required number of off-street
parking or loading spaces but can show to the satisfaction of the
Zoning Board of Appeals that such number is in excess of the anticipated
demand, the said Zoning Board of Appeals may reduce the number of
off-street parking or loading spaces to be immediately improved, but
only upon finding that any proposed modification shall be sufficient
to serve the demand and no hazard or traffic congestion will result.
All required but unimproved spaces shall be improved upon a finding
by the Building Inspector that such improvement is needed as a result
of increased demand.
A.
No improved lot containing sufficient open area to
provide the required minimum number of off-street parking and loading
spaces for the use of the improvement thereon, whether or not such
open area is presently used for off-street parking and loading spaces,
shall be subdivided or reduced in size in any manner so as to reduce
the open area available on such lot to less than that required for
the minimum number of off-street parking and loading spaces.
B.
No improved lot lacking sufficient open area to provide
the required minimum number of off-street parking and loading spaces
for the use of the improvement thereto, whether or not such open area
is presently used for off-street parking and loading spaces, shall
be subdivided or reduced in size in any manner so as to reduce the
open area available on such lot for off-street parking and loading
spaces.
No lot or portion thereof in a residence district
shall be used for off-street parking, loading spaces, loading berths,
aisles, interior driveways or vehicular accessways required in connection
with a use other than one permitted in a residence district.
