Resident permit. Upon application to the Pine Grove Police Department
on a form to be provided therefor, the owner of each residential dwelling

the use of the residents of the said dwelling unit of which he is
the owner, or lawfully authorized designee of such owner, and which
residents desire to park their vehicle at curbside within the Permit
Zone, in accordance with the following terms and conditions: The owner
of the dwelling unit, or his lawfully authorized designee, shall present
one valid proof of registration of one motor vehicle belonging to
a resident of the dwelling unit in order to be issued one resident
permit parking decal. The owner of the dwelling unit, or his lawfully
authorized designee, shall permit one valid proof of registration
of a second motor vehicle belonging to a resident of the dwelling
unit in order to be issued a second resident permit parking decal.
Any resident permit parking decals issued hereunder shall be used
only by the residents of a dwelling unit within the Permit Zone who
desire to park their motor vehicle(s) for which a permit parking decal
has been issued at curbside on the streets, alleys, or public ways
within the Permit Zone. In no event shall more than two resident permit

Upon application to the Pine Grove Police Department on a form to be provided therefor, the owner of each residential dwelling unit within the Permit Zone, or his lawfully authorized designee, shall be issued two guest parking decals.

A motor vehicle properly displaying a parking decal in accordance with the provisions of § 173-39 hereinbelow shall be permitted to be parked in the resident permit parking areas in the Permit Zone, to the same extent as vehicles properly displaying a resident permit parking decal under this article. All guest parking decals shall be valid for the period as specified by the Pine Grove Borough Police, and in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Pine Grove Borough Police, but in no event shall a guest parking decal be valid for a period in excess of one year.
The resident permit parking decals and guest parking decals
issued pursuant to this article shall be affixed to the center (or
as near thereto as possible) of the motor vehicle's front windshield,
at the top thereof, or hung from the back of the motor vehicle's center
inside rear-view mirror, so that the decal so affixed or hung shall
be clearly visible through the front windshield from the outside of
the vehicle.
A.
Any resident permit parking decal or guest parking decal which has been issued pursuant to this article, which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, shall be replaced in accordance with the following terms and conditions: The resident of Permit Zone for whose use the resident permit parking decal or guest parking decal was issued shall apply to the Pine Grove Police Department for a duplicate or replacement decal of the same type which has been lost, stolen or destroyed. Thereupon, the Pine Grove Police Department shall issue a duplicate or replacement decal of the same type which has been lost, stolen or destroyed. There shall be no fee for issuance of a duplicate or replacement decal. Whenever a duplicate or replacement decal is issued pursuant to the terms of this § 173-40, the Pine Grove Police Department shall mark in the records the name and address of the resident to whom the duplicate or replacement decal has been issued, and in the case of a resident permit parking decal, any pertinent information pertaining to the registration of the resident's motor vehicle for which the resident intends to use the duplicate or replacement resident permit parking decal, in the same manner as when an original resident permit parking decal is issued. Also, whenever a duplicate or replacement decal is issued, the Pine Grove Police Department shall indicate in the records the fact that the previously issued decal has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and such lost, stolen, or destroyed decal shall thenceforth be invalid.
For the purposes of this article, the word "owner" shall mean any person who owns land improved for residential use within the Permit Zone described in § 173-35 above, whether or not such person resides upon said land.
Any person who violates any of the provisions of this article
shall, for each and every such violation, pay the sum of $15 to the

of the unpaid fine and costs.
Any person who falsifies, duplicates, forges, or alters any parking decals issued pursuant to this article, or who obtains a duplicate or replacement resident permit parking decal or guest parking decal pursuant to § 173-40 of this article under false pretenses, shall be subject to arrest and prosecution under applicable provisions of the Crimes Code of Pennsylvania.
