   (A)   No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle or trailer or any other goods or wares of any kind on the city-owned right-of-way or on the right-of-way that the city has jurisdiction over concurrently with the state, including the right-of-way (“parking”) between any existing city street and the private property line, except under one of the following conditions:
      (1)   If any section of right-of-way (parking) has been previously paved, the abutting property owner may park vehicles thereon only after receiving a permit from the city, which permit shall be issued if the provisions of division (A)(3) below have been complied with. The term “paving” includes any kind of hard surfacing but is not limited to portland cement, concrete, and bituminous concrete with the necessary base. Paving does not include surfacing with oil, gravel, oil and gravel or chloride.
      (2)   A property owner desiring to park vehicles on abutting right-of-way (parking) which has been previously paved, must do the following:
         (a)   Apply to the city clerk for an annual permit describing the location and reason for the request; and
         (b)   Submit a non-refundable annual fee application.
      (3)   A permit may be issued if the city determines that vehicles parked on such property will not obscure the vision of drivers attempting to observe the travelled portion of the street and that the traffic flow upon such street will not be interrupted with such frequency to cause safety hazards, and will not damage or destroy any public sidewalk or public utility.
   (B)   Any damage occurring in consequence of the use or maintenance of any of the paved right-of-way referred to in this subchapter, or by reason of any defect therein, shall be paid by the person using, or maintaining it.
