[Amended 7-18-1991 by Ord. No. 9105]
A.
No bus, tractor, trailer or any other vehicle, with
the exception of a boat, shall be parked in a courtyard or driveway
in such a manner as to deprive an adjoining property owner of light
and/or air or diminish the quantity of light and air that said property
would normally receive, but for the presence of said bus, tractor,
trailer or other vehicle.
B.
Parking of a boat on private property shall be permitted
in the following areas under the conditions defined:
(1)
One boat may be parked in a driveway with the outermost
portion of the boat being set back three feet from the side yard,
except in such situations where the principal structure of the property
is closer to the side yard than three feet. Then and in that event
the boat may be parked the same distance from the side yard setback
as the principal structure. Regarding the front yard setback, the
outermost portion of the boat may not extend beyond the front yard
setback into the City right-of-way.
(2)
An alternative method of parking one boat may occur
in a driveway with its outermost extension adjacent to the side yard
setback, on the condition that the boat should be placed on a trailer.
However, at no time shall either the boat or the trailer extend beyond
the front yard setback into the City right-of-way.
(3)
A boat under the conditions as set forth in Subsections B(1) and (2) above may be permitted to be parked in a driveway of a residence within the City of Ventnor, which residence is not necessarily owned or leased by the owner of the boat on the condition that the individual or individuals who control the property notified the City of their authorization of use of the driveway, such that the City has a record of permission being given to the boat owner for the use of said property. No fee shall be required of the individual or individuals controlling the property to permit this to occur.
(4)
Two boats shall be permitted to be parked in a vacant
lot, which vacant lot adjoins property controlled by the owner of
the boat that is to be parked in said lot. The parking of the boat
shall be subject to compliance with all setback requirements as though
the boat were a structure.
The parking of any bus, tractor, trailer, boat or any other vehicle shall be prohibited on any front lawns, sidewalks or any other area of clear view, except proper driveway parking unless contrary to § 217-2 hereinbefore stated.
[Amended 2-2-1989 by Ord. No. 8903]
Any person convicted of a violation of the provisions
of this article shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $50 or to
imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days, or both. In addition
to or as a substitute for the previously mentioned fine, the imposition
of community service shall be authorized as an additional penalty,
which community service shall not exceed 90 days.
