Latest version.

  • (a)

    Parking on public owned property. Vehicular parking or obstruction on public right-of-way shall remain no longer than 72 hours (without prior approval from the town manager or his designee), so as not to impede any but not limited to the following town functions, right-of-way maintenance, grass cutting, meter reading. Excluding permitted parking, emergency and police vehicles.

    (b)

    Parking prohibited at all times in designated places. When signs are placed, erected or installed giving notice of a "no parking zone," no person shall park a vehicle at any time upon any of the areas or streets described in a schedule established and amended by the town council or town manager from time to time, and on file in the office of the town clerk.

    (c)

    Towing of illegally parked vehicles. Any illegally parked vehicle may be towed. Any vehicle that has been towed for a parking violation is to be held until the towing fee and penalties related to all outstanding parking tickets and penalties owed to the city are paid in full or a bond is posted in the amount of the towing fee and all outstanding parking tickets and penalties. Payment of the towing fee and all outstanding parking tickets and penalties shall not constitute a waiver of a person's rights to contest the towing or the outstanding parking tickets and penalties.

    (d)

    Obstructing fire hydrant. It shall be unlawful for any automobile, truck or vehicle of any kind to be parked within 15 feet of any fire hydrant.

When signs are placed, erected or installed giving notice thereof, parking is prohibited at all times by all vehicles other than those designated as the vehicles of handicapped persons in areas properly designated as parking spaces for the handicapped. (Note: All required handicap signs and locations shall become compliance within six months from the date of this amended section.)

    (f)

    No person shall obstruct an area within 15 feet of marked and designated emergency beach access points on the seaward side of the access. The schedule of emergency beach access points may be amended by the town council from time to time, and shall be on file in the office of the town clerk.
