(a) The Village Administrator is hereby authorized to issue permits to the residents of the village, granting them the privilege of parking passenger-type motor vehicles on the streets in the village.
PASSENGER-TYPE VEHICLES, as used in this section, include automobiles, pick-up trucks, vans and motorcycles. The issuance of such permits and the exercise of the privileges granted thereby shall be limited by the terms and restrictions of this section.
(b) Each resident of the village who wishes to obtain a permit for the privilege of parking not more than two vehicles owned by such resident on the streets of the village shall file an application with proof of residence with the Chief of Police, along with the vehicle or vehicles, the vehicle registration and the driver’s license, at the municipal building. Upon approval of the Chief of Police and the Village Administrator, the parking permit at that time shall be affixed to the left front windshield. Such permits shall be granted at no charge to residents of the village. In areas where parking is limited to less than two hours at a time, the number of permits may be limited to one per resident.
(c) The parking permit will allow the holder to exceed posted two-hour parking signs or those for a lesser period of time in those areas of the village zoned residential and within 500 feet of the residence of the permit holder for up to 12 hours provided that no other parking restrictions are applicable.
(d) The parking permits provided for in this section shall not apply to any street or portion of any street upon which parking is otherwise prohibited. All present ordinances restricting parking shall remain in full force and effect as to vehicles for which the parking permits are granted.
(e) The parking permit granted under this section shall expire at such time as new license plates are required for the vehicles.
(f) The parking permit, where granted, shall be applicable only to the vehicle listed in the holder’s application. Such privilege shall cease upon the sale of the vehicle bearing the parking permit, or upon change of residence of the holder. In either of these events, the permit holder may make application to the Chief of Police for a permit for use in connection with a subsequently acquired vehicle.
(g) Whoever uses a parking permit contrary to any of the provisions of this section, or violates any other existing law of the village or any other governmental entity while exercising such privileges, shall be subject to immediate revocation of such permit.
