A.
Pursuant to the powers conferred upon the Village
Board of Trustees under § 1640-i of the New York State Vehicle
and Traffic Law, the Village Board of Trustees finds and declares
that many residential areas in the Village of Mount Kisco suffer from
inadequate parking due to the parking of vehicles owned by non-area
residents. Nonresidents who park in such areas include commuters who
utilize the MTA railroad as well as employees and patrons of businesses
located in commercial areas abutting the residential zones. The Village
Board further finds that the lack of parking for residents of certain
areas in the Village has resulted in traffic hazards, congestion and
air and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
B.
The Board of Trustees further finds that a residential
parking permit system within such area will reduce such hazards and
will reduce pollution levels as well. The Board of Trustees, therefore,
hereby declares the necessity of adopting a residential parking permit
system.

shall have the meanings indicated:
The residential owner or owners or residential tenant or
tenants of or in a dwelling whose mailing address fronts upon a residential

C.

person or otherwise allow it to be placed on a vehicle other than
the vehicles listed on the permit application.
D.
The fee for the parking permit shall be set forth
by the Village Manager and be valid for one year from the date of
issuance. Said permit must be renewed annually.
