[Amended 8-15-1988 by L.L. No. 5-1988]
Off-street parking spaces, open and enclosed, are permitted accessory to any use, provided that:
(a) 
There is no limitation on the number of agricultural vehicles permitted accessory to an agricultural use, but only one commercial vehicle not over 1/2 ton capacity and only one unoccupied trailer or recreation vehicle, owned or rented by the owner of the premises, or owned or rented by a gratuitous guest visiting the owner of the premises, may be parked on that portion of a residential lot lying to the rear of the residence which shall be secured in place at least 10 feet distant from both side and rear lot lines.
(b) 
No unlicensed automobile or truck may be parked out of doors on any property. The number of vehicles allowed to park on any property shall be limited to the number of parking spaces legally provided on the property.
(c) 
No off-street parking is permitted within a required front yard of a single-family or two-family residence except either on a driveway [maximum allowable width of 18 feet] or on an approved stoned area.
Off-street loading berths, open or enclosed, are permitted accessory to any use except residences for one or two families. However, no off-street loading berth shall be located within a required front yard.
6.31. 
Applicable to all uses. Accessory off-street parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be provided for any lot for any use specified in Use Table, Column 6. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control with uses subject to the regulations of Use Table, Column 6, shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of such regulations. However, such requirements shall not apply to an addition to or reconstruction of a church, where such addition or reconstruction is on land owned prior to the effective date of this code.
6.32. 
Areas computed as parking spaces. Areas which may be computed as open or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage, carport or other area available for parking, other than a street or a driveway, except that a driveway within a required front yard for a single-family or two-family residence may count as two parking spaces other than on a corner lot, as provided in § 5.225.
6.33. 
Location and ownership of required accessory parking facilities. Required accessory parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided upon the same lot as the use to which they are accessory, or elsewhere, provided that all spaces therein are located within 1,000 feet walking distance of such lot. In all cases, such parking spaces shall conform to all the regulations for the district in which they are located, and in no event shall such parking spaces be located in any R District unless the uses to which they are accessory are permitted in such districts. Such spaces shall be in the same ownership as the use to which they are accessory and shall be subject to deed restriction, filed with the County Clerk, binding the owner and his heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of spaces available either throughout the existence of such use to which they are accessory or until such spaces are provided elsewhere.
[Amended 10-15-1970 by L.L. No. 12-1970]
6.331. 
Backing into public highways except for single- or two-family residences. Such off-street parking spaces shall be so laid out that it shall not be necessary for a vehicle parked thereon to back into any public highway. At the exit from all such areas a sign shall be prominently displayed advising users of the parking space that backing into the public highway is prohibited.
6.332. 
Driveways of single- or two-family residences shall be properly graded to meet the established grade of the public right-of-way and/or sidewalk. Said driveway shall be at least 10 feet wide with a maximum grade not to exceed 10% and installed with at least three inches of binder mix with a top wearing course of 1 1/2 inches of fine mix asphalt concrete, rolled with a four- to six-ton tandem roller or equivalent as approved by the Town Engineer or consulting engineer.
[Amended 9-8-1989 by L.L. No. 15-1989; 6-24-1991 by L.L. No. 8-1991]
6.34. 
Size of spaces and aisle width. A parking space shall be considered a space nine feet wide and 18 feet long, exclusive of standing area and aisles for maneuvering. Entrance and exit roadways shall not be computed as parking space except for one-family and two-family residences. Aisle width shall not be less than 20 feet for 60° or 22 feet for 90° parking.
[Amended 8-15-1988 by L.L. No. 5-1988]
6.35. 
Access. Unobstructed access to and from streets shall be provided. Such access shall consist of not more than one twenty-foot lane for parking area with less than 20 spaces and not more than four twenty-foot lanes for parking areas with 20 spaces or more, except along state highways the width of access shall not exceed 35 feet. Not more than two lanes may be so located so as to provide access to the same public highway. All such access lanes shall be separate from any other access lane by a curbing of sufficient height to prevent traffic over the same and separating the access lanes by a distance of at least 50 feet.
6.36. 
Drainage and surfacing. All open parking areas shall be properly drained, and all such areas shall be paved. Except for driveways serving one- and two-family houses, the paving shall consist of three inches of one-and-one-half-inch crushed stone penetrated and rolled with a ten-ton roller and topped with a two-inch asphaltic concrete wearing surface or equivalent as approved by the Town Engineer or consulting engineer and except, further, that grassed areas may be used for an athletic field, stadium or agricultural use.
[Amended 9-8-1969 by L.L. No. 15-1969]
6.37. 
Joint facilities. Required parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two or more establishments, whether or not located on the same lot, provided that the number of required spaces in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required for all such establishments.
6.38. 
Combined uses. When any lot contains two or more uses having different parking requirements, the parking requirements for each use shall apply to the extent of that use. Where it can be conclusively demonstrated that one or more such uses will be generating a demand for parking spaces primarily during periods when the other use or uses is not or are not in operation, either the Planning Board as part of site plan approval or the Board of Appeals may reduce the total parking spaces required by 50% of the parking spaces required for the use with the least requirement.

Uses for which required. Accessory off-street loading berths shall be provided for any lot for any use specified herein. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of such requirements. Reasonable and appropriate off-street loading requirements for structures and uses which do not fall within the categories listed herein shall be determined by the Planning Board upon consideration of all factors entering into the loading needs of each use. Off-street loading berths shall be provided as follows:
a. 
For a public library, museum, art gallery or similar quasi-public institution or governmental building, community center, hospital or sanitarium, nursing or convalescent home, institution for children or the aged or school: if floor area does not exceed 10,000 square feet, one berth; for each additional 25,000 square feet or fraction thereof, one additional berth.

For buildings with professional, governmental or business offices or laboratory establishments: if floor area is less than 8,000 square feet, none; if floor area amounts to between 8,000 and 25,000 square feet, one berth; for each additional 25,000 square feet or major fraction thereof up to 100,000 square feet, one additional berth; for each additional 50,000 square feet or major fraction thereof, one additional berth.
c. 
For retail sales and service establishments: if floor area is less than 8,000 square feet, none; if floor area amounts to between 8,000 and 25,000 square feet, one berth; if floor area exceeds 25,000 square feet, one additional berth for each additional 25,000 square feet of floor area, or major fraction thereof.
d. 
For undertakers and funeral homes: one berth for each chapel. Such berths shall be at least 10 feet wide, 20 feet long and 14 feet high.
e. 
For hotel/conference centers: one berth for each 200 rooms.
f. 
For manufacturing, wholesale and storage uses and for dry-cleaning and rug-cleaning establishments and laundries: one berth for each 10,000 square feet of floor area or less and one additional berth for each additional 20,000 square feet of floor area, or major fraction thereof, so used.
6.42. 
Size of spaces. Except as provided hereinbefore, each required loading berth shall be at least 12 feet wide and 45 feet long, with a clear height of 15 feet. The Planning Board may modify the minimum requirements where necessary to ensure proper circulation and traffic safety or where such change would not create future difficulties in the event that the structures or uses are changed to any other use permitted by right in the district.
6.43. 
Location and access. Unobstructed access, at least 12 feet wide, to and from a street shall be provided. Such access may be combined with access to a parking lot, provided that said driveway has a minimum width of 25 feet. All permitted or required loading berths shall be on the same lot as provided in § 6.44.
6.44. 
Joint facilities. Permitted or required loading berths, open or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two or more adjacent establishments, provided that the number of required berths in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required for all such establishments.
6.51. 
Access near street corners. No entrance or exit for any accessory off-street parking area with over 10 parking spaces, nor any loading berth, shall be located within 50 feet of the intersection of any two street lines.
6.52. 
Screening and floodlighting. Any part of any off-street parking area with five or more spaces and any loading berth located in or within 50 feet of any R District or R District use shall have a screen between the same and all lots within such R District, including those, if any, located across a residential street. If floodlighting is used, it shall be arranged so as to prevent the glare of lights toward any contiguous residential lot disregarding any intervening street.
6.53. 
On lots divided by district boundaries. When a lot is located partly in one district and partly in another district, the regulations for the district requiring the greater number of parking spaces or loading berths shall apply to all of the lot. Parking spaces or loading berths on such a lot may be located without regard to district lines, provided that no such parking space or loading berths shall be located in any R District, unless the use to which they are accessory is permitted in such district.
