(c) All parking areas and driveways shall be provided with an asphalt, concrete or other similar hard surface designed in accordance with criteria established by the Village Engineer.

(f) The Planning and Zoning Commission may approve deviations from the minimum size of parking spaces and the minimum aisle width, specified in this chapter, when it determines that such deviation will not compromise the public interest and the purpose of the standard(s) has been equally satisfied by alternative site design considerations such as, but not limited to: areas being available for the car bumper to over-hang the curb; wider than required parking spaces are proposed; angled parking less than ninety (90) degrees is proposed; and/or the parking is for a use with traffic volumes and rates of parking space turn-over are significantly less than normally expected.
