§ 331-129. Improvements.

All off-street parking and loading facilities shall be maintained in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Planning Board.

A. 

Surface. All off-street parking, loading facilities, and driveways shall be surfaced with asphaltic cement concrete, Portland cement concrete, paving stone or brick and shall not have a slope in excess of 3%, excluding access ramps. Gravel or other pervious paving may be permitted where conditions require.

B. 

Grading and drainage. All off-street parking and loading facilities, other than those serving one- or two-family dwellings, shall be provided with an interior network of drains and/or retention basins capable of retaining and treating the first 1/2 inch of runoff or the runoff resulting from a one year, twenty-four-hour storm event, whichever is greater, from the runoff of the newly constructed impervious areas. If it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that retention basins or extended detention facilities are not practical alternatives, other methods recommended in the current NYSDEC Stormwater Management Guidelines, such as reducing the impacts of stormwater runoff from new development, may be used as substitutes. Substitutes may also include the use of dry wells, swales, grit and/or oil separators and filter strips. The basin and all the necessary appurtenances shall be per the Department of Public Works requirements. In addition, the applicant shall utilize the Westchester County Best Management Practices Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control to prepare a sediment control plan acceptable to the Building Official.

C. 

Space delineation. For all uses, other than one- or two-family dwellings, all required parking and loading spaces shall be individually delineated by means of painted pavement marking four to six inches in width running the entire length of each space. Standard and compact parking spaces shall be marked with a white-color painted pavement marking, handicap spaces with a blue-color painted pavement marking.

D. 

Signage. Appropriate signs and pavement markings shall be provided in all off-street parking and loading facilities as necessary to direct internal traffic flow. Such signs shall generally not exceed two square feet in area.

E. 

(Reserved)

Editor’s Note: Former Subsection E, Lighting, was repealed 3-15-2016 by Ord. No. 73-2016.

F. 

Snow storage. All off-street parking and loading facilities shall provide storage areas for snow which will not displace any required parking or access thereto nor impact any landscaping or fencing on the site.
