After the following design standards have been met and approved by the Planning Board, the Town Board shall hold a public hearing before making a final decision in relation to the issuance of the special use permit for off-street parking in residential zones.
(A) All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of access to a street or alley, as well as maneuvering space.
(B) A parking space shall be determined as the space required to park 1 car and shall be in accordance with accepted standards and not less than 9 feet wide.
(C) Parking areas shall have adequate drainage, and shall be provided with bumper guards where required.
(D) Parking areas shall be used for parking of automobiles only, with no sales, storage, repair work, dismantling or servicing of any kind to be permitted.
(E) All required parking spaces shall be of a design and located so as to be convenient and readily usable by the patrons.
(F) Sufficient area shall be provided within the property lines so that all vehicles may enter and leave in a forward motion.
(G) A screen shall be required whenever a parking lot abuts, or is opposite a residential zone. The design and material of a fence or screen not less than 3 feet nor more than 6 feet in height shall be approved by the Planning Board for the purpose of giving sufficient protection to the resident property owners from physical hazards and unsightliness.
(H) All parking lots shall be constructed in a manner that contamination by dust or dust clouds will not exist. This is to be accomplished by concrete, blacktop, crushed gravel or other non-dust producing surfacing.
(I) If night time parking is to be permitted, it shall be lighted with the provision that the lights shall be shielded so as to prevent direct beaming into a residential area.
(J) The duration of a special use permit for residential parking shall be from 1 to 5 years. Actual time limit is to be determined by the Town Board after review of the applicant’s plans for improvement. Issuance of a 5-year permit will necessitate the developer using a hardtop surfacing, installing shielded lights, providing adequate screening or fencing to prevent head lights from beaming into residential property and providing adequate landscaping so as not to detract from surrounding residential property. This permit may be revoked by the Town Board after just cause is presented to the special permit holder.
