A.
The Board
of Trustees of the Village of Greenport does hereby find that there
exists a threat to public safety any time that snow, freezing rain,
sleet, or ice accumulates on Village roads and that the parking or
abandonment of vehicles on or along the Village streets during snow
and other winter-weather-related events prohibits and/or restricts
the Village's ability to remediate the hazardous conditions on the
streets and impedes the ability of fire, police, and ambulance vehicles
and personnel to provide necessary services to Village of Greenport
residents and the public. For the above reason, the Village of Greenport
Board of Trustees finds it necessary to enact legislation prohibiting
parking and standing of vehicles on Village of Greenport streets in
anticipation of, during and after snow or winter weather events.
B.
It shall therefore be unlawful for any person to place, park or leave any automobile, truck, sports utility vehicle, or other motor vehicle on any Village road or street within the corporation limits of the Village of Greenport after a fall or precipitation of snow of two inches or more and thereafter until the snow has been removed or cleared from such public road or street unless such automobile, truck or other vehicle is at all times attended by and in the charge of a person capable of operating it as described in § 132-51, Schedule XIII. The Mayor or the Village Administrator shall determine the time for a particular storm that this prohibition shall go into effect, and the prohibition, as well as the end of the prohibition after the removal of the snow or ice, shall be announced on the Greenport Village website and WLNG, and the website of the Southold Local and Suffolk Times; however, the prohibition shall take effect after a snowfall of two inches or more, even if the Village of Greenport has not announced the prohibition.
C.
Vehicles parked or abandoned after a snowfall of two inches or more, or after the announcement of a snow emergency prohibition as provided herein, shall be subject to a fine of $100 per day for each day that the vehicle is parked or abandoned in violation of this § 132-18 and the towing and removal of the vehicle by the Village of Greenport or the Southold Town Police, at the cost of the owner of the vehicle.
