All driveways, parking areas, curbs, and bumper guards shall be constructed in accordance with standards established by the following:
(a) Paving. All parking and loading areas and access drives, with the exception of driveways accessing single-family detached dwellings (see Section 1266.10
), shall be improved with hot applied asphalt, concrete, brick or permeable pavers, approved by the Village Engineer, prior to issuance of a permit. Cold installed asphalt, cold patch, chip seal and gravel shall be prohibited. Such paving material and base materials related thereto, shall be capable of supporting all anticipated loads without damage. The owner shall, at his/her own expense, maintain the surface and repair any disintegration of the surface by patching or sealing when such disintegration takes place (see Section 1292.12
for small pothole options). Materials for such repairs will be at the discretion of the Village Engineer and the Zoning Code Enforcement Agent.
(b) Drainage. Parking areas shall be graded, drained and provided with adequate drainage facilities so that adjacent properties and rights-of-way, including public sidewalks, shall not be subject to flooding by run-off water from the proposed parking area.
(c) Illumination in Open Areas. Parking areas shall be illuminated whenever necessary to protect the public safety. Light sources shall be located and designed to prevent light pollution into residential areas.
(d) Curbs and Wheel/Bumper Guards. Appropriate bumper guards or barrier curbs shall be provided in order to define parking spaces, access drives or limits of paved areas, contain the cars on sloping surfaces, and to prevent bumper over-hang or other encroachment into required yards, walkways, landscaping, sidewalks, aisles, parking spaces, or adjacent property.
(e) Marking. Any off-street parking area for five or more parking spaces shall indicate the location of each parking space, the location of spaces for persons with disabilities, and the location and direction or movement along the aisles and access drives providing access thereto by painting upon the surface, by raised directional signs, or by markers or other similar measures placed in the surface.
