Permit Parking Zones
In areas where there is no public parking and no suitable off-street parking option within 1/10 of a mile, residents can apply for Permit Parking Zones on streets or
portions of streets recommended by the parking enforcement supervisor and approved by the Municipal manager. Such a permit allows a vehicle to be parked overnight from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m., except when an inch or more of snow and ice is expected. But in order for a street or portion of a street to be considered for the zone, a majority of owners of the property abutting the zone and directly across the street must agree to it. That step is necessary because the zone can have potential negative impact on the neighborhood; for example, only permitted cars may be parked in the zone between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. Before considering a street for permit zones, the manager will consider whether there are any other parking options, including the availability of nearby public parking, the width of the street and other logistical concerns.
To qualify to use permit parking areas, the resident/owner of a vehicle shall apply for a permit with proof of residency. The permit will allow that person to park within 1/10 a mile from the residence for a cost of $210 semi-annually ($420 a year).
Special Permit Parking Spaces
If certain conditions are met, a Special Permit Space may be established for Single or Two-Family dwellings. Residents can apply to the parking enforcement supervisor for Special Permit Parking Spaces (up to two vehicle license plates per dwelling) when it’s impossible to park off street without substantial financial cost or when a good reason exists. This permit also costs $210 semi-annually ($420 for a year) and will allow parking between the hours of 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. Special Permit Parking Spaces will not be authorized for more than one year, although a requestor can reapply for a permit when the time has expired. The manager or the manager’s designee will review all requests for approval. As with the Permit Parking Zones, this permit will not allow cars to be parked on the street during snow and ice events
