B. All parking areas and access driveways must have at a minimum:
1. For all nonresidential uses and residential uses consisting of three (3) or more units per building, paved hard surfaces must be provided. Acceptable surface treatments include, but are not necessarily limited to, concrete, asphalt, paving bricks, and paving stone. Turf block and “grass-crete” type products may be used subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator.
2. For all newly constructed one- and two-family residential uses, the first eighty feet (80') of any driveway must be a paved hard surface. The required eighty feet (80') must be measured from the nearest paved surface, even if the required paving is off site. Acceptable surface treatments shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, concrete, asphalt, paving bricks, paving stones, and milled asphalt/aggregate mix provided that it is dust free. Permeable asphalt, concrete, turf block or other permeable surface products may be used subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator. Any driveway length beyond the first eighty feet (80') from a paved surface must be (at a minimum) a smooth stabilized dust free surface. Surface treatment of driveway access which also serves as fire access shall meet the requirements and specifications of the local Fire Marshal, which shall supersede the general requirements contained herein. Any one- or two-family residential use which is a nonconforming use under subsection 11-7-11A of this title with respect to the condition of driveway paving is required to conform to the driveway paving requirements herein only when such nonconforming use expands its floor area by fifty percent (50%) or greater.
3. Maintenance of all parking and drive areas and surfaces to the standards prescribed herein is the responsibility of the property owner. Paved hard surfaces must not be allowed to accumulate dust, dirt, mud, or other debris.
4. Adequate drainage so that injuries will not be caused to adjacent properties nor will water drain across a public walk.
5. Appropriate bumper guards or curbs where needed to define parking spaces, limits of paved areas or to prevent vehicles from projecting into any setback or other portion of a lot where parking may be prohibited by another section of this title.

F. Boat and recreational vehicle storage areas designed to serve the residents of a development with a homeowners’ association or some other formalized unit owners’ organization must comply with the following standards:
1. The storage area is designed to only serve the residents of the development and is not open to the general public. The area for storage is located wholly within the development or immediately adjacent to the development.
2. Open or enclosed storage areas must meet primary setback of the underlying zone and are exempt from the paving requirements of subsection D of this section.
3. Screening of open or enclosed storage areas must have either site obscuring landscaping or fencing, subject to the requirements in subsection 11-3-11A of this title. Additional landscaping in the front setback of the storage area may be necessary in order to fulfill the screening requirements.
