§ 17-5. Parking regulations; construction sites; service vehicles.

(a)

The following regulations shall apply to the parking of all vehicles at or near a construction site at which any town permits have been issued authorizing said construction. All vehicles shall be parked in compliance with this section in the order of priority or sequence as follows:

(1)

All vehicles associated with construction sites shall park on the specific property in the front side or back yard(s) of the site. When all available site spaces are used, then parking shall be conducted as provided by subsection (2) below.

(2)

Vehicles shall next be parked in the swale (which is normally a ten-foot wide area off of the road pavement) directly in front of the specific construction site with vehicles parked in the direction of traffic parallel to the paved roadway. When all available space in the swale area is utilized then parking shall be conducted as set forth in subsection (3) below.

(3)

Upon obtaining written permission from the real property owner, vehicles shall next be parked on empty lots and other privately owned property driveways. If written permission from the owner is not obtained or when all available space is utilized, then parking shall be conducted as set forth in subsection (4) below.

(4)

Vehicles shall be parked on the paved portion of the town roadways only as a last resort. Before any vehicles are parked on the paved roadway, all driveways on the construction site shall be utilized for the parking of construction vehicles.

(5)

For all deliveries from large or over-sized vehicles, the contractor is required to provide a flag person to direct traffic around the vehicle. Large vehicles are defined as commercial or heavy trucks such as furniture delivery trucks, concrete trucks, cabinet delivery trucks, delivery trucks, and the like. In addition, the contractor is required to coordinate any such deliveries with the town police department.
