55, Art. IV, of the 1972 Code)]
[Amended 11-14-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
A.
The Village
Board of Trustees shall designate the days, hours and areas of municipal
lots that may be utilized for parking by permit, and the rules and
regulations governing said permits, including but not limited to the
cost and duration of permits. A copy of such rules and regulations
shall be maintained in the offices of the Village Clerk and the Parking
Authority.
B.
The areas
designated for permit parking by the Village Board of Trustees shall
be clearly posted with appropriate signage.
C.
Parking of the type of vehicles designated in § 330-37C(1) is prohibited during the hours and in the location described therein.
(1)
Campers,
recreational vehicles, or tractors and tractor-trailer combinations
in excess of 10 tons or, irrespective of weight, having an overall
length of 30 feet or more, are hereby excluded from parking in any
municipal parking lot between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
The Department of Public Works shall provide for the installation,
operation and use of parking meters or multispace parking control
devices in the metered municipal parking lots, shall cause said meters
or multispace parking control devices to be maintained in good working
condition and shall cause to be placed on the surfaces of said parking
lots lines or marks designating the spaces within which vehicles may
park. Parking meters shall be placed in such lots next to the individual
parking spaces so designated. Said meters shall be so constructed
as to display a signal evidencing legal parking upon the deposit therein
of coins of the United States for such periods of time as conforms
to the instructions thereon. The aforesaid signal shall remain in
evidence until the expiration of that time period, at which time a
change of signals or some other mechanical operation shall indicate
the expiration of said parking period. Multispace parking control
devices shall be installed in or adjacent to the metered municipal
parking lots, and such multispace parking control devices shall provide
instructions for the use of same in purchasing time in a parking space
located in the municipal parking lot.
A.
When any vehicle shall be parked or left standing in a parking space
in a metered municipal parking lot, the owner or operator of said
vehicle shall park or stop within the area designated by the marking
lines therein and upon entering said parking space shall immediately
deposit in said parking meter or multispace parking control device
currency of the United States, in accordance with the instructions
on said parking meter or multispace parking control device.
B.
It shall be unlawful to park a vehicle in any area other than a designated
parking space. It shall be unlawful to fail or neglect to deposit
the proper currency into the parking meter or multispace parking control
device corresponding to the parking space occupied. Upon the deposit
of the proper currency, the parking space may be used for said vehicle
during the ensuing parking period; however, said vehicle shall be
unlawfully parked in the event that it remains in such parking space
beyond the established parking limit or when the parking meter corresponding
to the parking space occupied displays a signal evidencing the expiration
of such parking period, or both of the foregoing; provided, however,
that this section shall not prevent the owner or operator of a vehicle
from parking same in a parking space without depositing currency,
as aforesaid, where it appears that the maximum legal parking limit
has not expired since the deposit of the previous currency.
C.
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit any vehicle
registered in his or her name to be unlawfully parked as set forth
in this section.
In the event that any automobile, motorcycle or other vehicle
has been left illegally standing or parked in any metered municipal
parking lot, pursuant to this article, for a period in excess of five
continuous hours, the same shall be, and is hereby declared to be,
a public nuisance, and such vehicle shall be removed from that metered
municipal parking lot at the expense of the registered owner thereof.
Any vehicle which has been removed from a metered municipal parking
lot pursuant to this section shall be returned to the registered owner
thereof upon the payment by the registered owner of the fines levied
against said vehicle, including towing and storage costs.
[Amended 7-15-2020 by L.L. No. 3-2020]
Parking meters in the municipal parking lots shall be in operation
from the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. or as otherwise posted,
Monday through and including Saturday. Parking meter regulations are
suspended on Sunday and legal holidays. The Board of Trustees shall
set, by resolution, the fees to be charged by motorists for the use
of said meters or multispace parking control systems. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Village of Nyack Parking Authority may, by resolution,
set the days and times of enforcement for all parking in the Village
of Nyack on a temporary sixty-day trial basis, including both metered
and nonmetered parking, on both streets and lots. The Village Parking
Authority shall cause all appropriate signage reflecting the days
and times of enforcement of said temporary regulations as set by Parking
Authority Board resolution to be erected prior to the implementation
of the temporary regulations. Any regulations adopted by the Village
Parking Authority pursuant to this subsection shall be null and void
if the same are not approved by resolution by the Village Board of
Trustees within 60 days of implementation.
The currency required to be deposited in parking meters or multispace
parking control devices located in municipal parking lots, as provided
herein, are levied as enforcement and inspection fees to cover the
cost of installation, operation, maintenance, policing and supervision
of parking meters, the enforcement of other parking regulations, and
the providing of additional public parking in the Village. The funds
collected shall be deposited in the Village's general fund unless
the Board of Trustees, by resolution, authorizes the Parking Authority
of the Village of Nyack to be the recipient of part or all funds collected
from the Village's parking meters. This section is intended to supersede
any provision of the New York State Public Authorities Law which conflicts
with same, including but not limited to § 1622-h of the
Public Authorities Law.
