All new parking lots and all alterations of
existing lots shall be subject to the approval of the Village Board,
after a recommendation from the Plan Commission. Requests for said
parking lots shall be accompanied with detailed plans on landscaping,
parking layout, drainage provisions and driveway locations. In all
districts, except those areas which are located within the fire zone
as designated on the Official Map, there shall be provided at the
time any use or building is erected, enlarged, extended, or increased
off-street parking stalls for all vehicles in accordance with the
following:
A. Access. Adequate access to a public street shall be
provided for each parking space.
B. Design standards. Each required off-street parking
space shall have a stall width of at least nine feet and a stall length
of at least 20 feet. Minimum width of aisles providing access to stalls
for one-way traffic shall be as follows: 11 feet for thirty-degree
parking and 20 feet for ninety-degree parking. Minimum width of aisles
providing access to stalls for two-way traffic shall be 24 feet. No
parking area of more than two spaces shall be designed so as to require
any vehicle to back into a public street. Any parking area of more
than five spaces shall be sufficiently screened in the form of a solid
fence or shrubbery to protect adjacent residential uses. Large expanses
of unchanneled parking areas shall be avoided by the use of interior
landscaping and safety islands.
C. Location.
(1) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all
districts except in the street yards of single-family and two-family
residence districts but shall not be closer than five feet to a side
lot line, right-of-way line or rear lot line.
(2) Off-street parking in the single-family residence and two-family residence districts is permitted in the street yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in §
595-57.
D. Surfacing. All off-street parking areas, except a
single parking space accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall
be surfaced with a dustless all-weather material capable of carrying
a wheel load of 4,000 pounds (normally, a two-inch blacktop on a four-inch
base or five inches of portland cement will meet this requirement).
Any parking area for more than five vehicles shall have the aisles
and spaces clearly marked. Compacted stone or gravel may be used with
the approval of the Village Board.
E. Landscaping.
(1) Accessory landscape area. All public and private off-street
parking areas which serve five vehicles or more and are created or
redesigned and rebuilt subsequent to the adoption of this chapter
shall be provided with accessory landscape areas totaling not less
than 10% of the surfaced area. The minimum size of each landscape
area shall not be less than 100 square feet.
(2) Location. Location of landscape areas, plant materials
and protection afforded the plantings, including curbing and provision
for maintenance by the property owner, shall be subject to approval
by the Zoning Administrator.
(3) Plans. All plans for such proposed parking areas,
at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator, shall include a topographic
survey or grading plan which shows existing and proposed grades and
location of improvements. The preservation of existing trees, shrubs
and other natural vegetation in the parking area may be included in
the calculation of the required minimum landscape area.
(4) Special residential requirements. Those parking areas
for five or more vehicles, if adjoining a residential use, shall be
screened from such use by a solid wall, fence, evergreen planting
of equivalent visual density or other effective means, built and maintained
at a minimum height of five feet. Where a solidly constructed decorative
fence is provided along the interior lot line, the minimum setback
for the parking area shall be five feet from said lot line. Said fence
shall be located a minimum of one foot from said lot line.
(5) Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or
service of any kind shall be permitted in association with parking
facilities provided in residence districts.
(6) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street
parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties and
public streets in such a way as not to create a nuisance. However,
in no case shall such lighting exceed three footcandles measured at
the lot line.
(7) Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted
between the street right-of-way line and the building setback line
prevailing in the zone in which the proposed parking area is to be
located. The resulting open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise
landscaped to create a permanent green area.
F. Curbs. Curbs or barriers shall be installed a minimum
of four feet from a property line so as to prevent the parked vehicles
from extending over any lot lines.

of the land would require a driveway of greater width than herein
specified, the Village Board in its discretion may permit a driveway
of additional width.
E. The following regulations are applicable to driveways
serving residential property:

and egress shall be at least 10 feet wide at the property line for
