conditions are fulfilled:
(1)
Each zoning lot served shall have direct access to the central loading
area without crossing streets or alleys at grade.

Total berths provided shall meet the requirements based on the sum
of the several types of uses served. (Areas of types of uses may be
totaled before computing number of loading berths.)
(3)
No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed from the
central loading area.
(4)
The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area with the zoning
lot served shall be not less than seven feet in width and have a clearance
of not less than seven feet.
All new parking lots and all alterations of existing lots shall
be subject to the approval of the Village Board. Requests for said

wide for parallel parking. For parallel parking, the minimum length
of the parking space shall be increased to 23 feet. No parking area
of more than two spaces shall be designed 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 interior landscaping and safety
islands.[1]
C.
Location.

D.
Surfacing. All open 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.
E.

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)
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
