[Adopted 11-13-2018 by Ord. No. 12-2018]
No vehicle, regardless of condition, shall be parked or stored
in the front yard of any premises in a residentially zoned property,
as defined by the Verona Borough Zoning Ordinance,[1] including parking on concrete or gravel parking pads.
Said prohibition shall not apply to parking on a driveway that exists
in the front yard, which has been established in accordance with the
terms of said Zoning Ordinance or by valid permit.
A.
Upon the discovery of any violation under the terms of this article,
the Borough, through its authorized agents, is authorized to give
notice to the owner and/or driver of a violation either by personal
delivery to such owner and/or driver, by United States Mail directed
to the last known address of such owner and/or driver or by leaving
the same on the vehicle which is parked in violation of this article.
B.
If such owner and/or driver, within seven days after delivery, mailing
or leaving of such notice, pays to the Borough the sum of $35 for
the violation, the same will constitute full satisfaction for the
violation noted in said notice.
C.
Each day that a violation exists shall constitute a separate violation.
The failure of such owner and/or driver to make payment, as aforesaid,
with seven days shall render such owner and/or driver subject to the
penalties as provided herein.
D.
If such owner shall, in fact, make payment after such seven-day period
but before the filing of a complaint with the Magisterial District
Judge on account of such violation, the sum of $50 shall be in full
satisfaction of such violation.
On neglect or refusal of the owner and/or driver to comply with
the provisions of this article, he, she or they shall, upon conviction
of such default, neglect, failure or refusal, pay a fine of not less
than $300 and not more than $500, plus costs of litigation, including
reasonable attorney's fees incurred. The continuation or reoccurrence
of the violation of this article after a period of 24 hours shall
constitute a new and separate offense for each successive additional
twenty-four-hour period, and shall be subject to continuing fines
without the necessity of filing multiple or daily complaints or charges
with the magisterial district judge.
A.
In the event of any provision, section, sentence, clause, or part
of this article being held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not
affect or impair any remaining provision, section, sentence, clause
or part of the article, it being the intent of the Borough that such
remainder shall be and shall remain in full force and effect and for
this purpose the provisions of this article are hereby declared to
be severable.
B.
In the event of any legislation by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
becoming effective dealing with the same or similar subject matter
as that included herein, such shall remain in full force and effect
if it is more restrictive, and not inconsistent with such legislation,
but if such legislation is more restrictive than, inconsistent with,
or both, then this article shall be interpreted according to such
legislation and shall be superseded to the extent necessary to give
such legislation appropriate effect. However, all the remainder of
the article shall be and shall remain in full force and effect and
for this purpose the provisions of this article are hereby declared
to be severable.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances expressly inconsistent
herewith or dealing with the same or similar subject matter of this
article are expressly repealed.
This article shall be effective within five days after adopted
by the Council and approved by the Mayor.
