On a corner lot in all zoning districts, no
fence, wall, hedge, planting or structure shall be erected, placed,
planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to obstruct vision
between a height of 2 1/2 feet and 10 feet above the center-line
grades of the intersecting streets in the area bounded by the street
lines of such corner lots and a line joining the points along said
street lines 25 feet from the point of intersection.
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 be not less than 180 square feet. No parking area of more
than four spaces shall be designed so as to require any vehicle to
back into a public street. Large expanses of unchanneled parking areas
shall be avoided by interior landscaping and safety islands.
C. Location.
(1) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all
districts except in the front 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 front yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in Chapter
141, Driveways, of this Code.
D. Surfacing. All off-street parking areas, except parking
spaces accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall be surfaced with
an all-weather material, such as blacktop.
E. Additional requirements.
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
