A. Cash-in-Lieu Payments I
Where all or part of the required parking spaces cannot be provided for a proposed use
either through ownership or lease of the necessary land, and where a variance from the
off-street parking requirements has not been granted by the Board of Adjustment, the peti-
tioner may satisfy the parking requirements by providing an equivalent cash-in-lieu pay-
men t .

009
Required parking spaces shall be located so as to preclude backing maneuvers onto any public
right-of-way from any use, with the exception of single and multi-family dwellings, as defined
in this ordinance. Required parking spaces shall not be located in any required front or side
yard.
2. Screening
I a. Any off-street parking lot built to serve any commercial or industrial use with more
than five (5) vehicles which adjoins or faces properties situated in any residential
district shall be screened by a wall or solid fence not less than six (6) feet nor
more than eight (8) feet in height.
b. If the lot area used for parking is placed between the required landscaped yard
abutting a public or private street and the structure(s), then a view-obscuring
screening of the parking area shall be established in the rear portion of the
landscaped yard area. (See Figures 1 and 2.) The required screening shall contain
at least one or more of the following design elements: Low-profile vegetative ground
cover not to exceed two (2) feet in height at maturity and/or earth berms. (See Figure
2. ) No single design element shall comprise more than fifty percent (50%) of the

more than three (3) feet in height.
The screening design shall include at least one (1) tree per fifteen (15) lineal feet
of public or private street frontage, planted on fifteen-foot centers.
So as to minimize potential vandalism, the required view-obscuring screen shall not
have a continuous frontage, but shall contain intermittent breaks of at least six (6)
feet, but not more than ten (10) feet in length. (See Figure 1.) The individual
segments of the screening shall not be less than fifty (50) feet nor more than eighty
(80) feet in length. (See Figure 1.) However, where a specific lot frontage does
not permit full compliance with this requirement, these dimensions may be reduced or
modified so that the intent of this requirement can be satisfied.
c. 1. Notwithstanding other provisions of this ordinance in any district, fences, walls,
hedges or other plantings may be permitted in any required yard, provided that
nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a manner so
as to materially impede vision beyond a height of two and one-half (2.5) feet
I above centerline grades of the intersecting streets in thea:-ea bounded by street
lines of such corner lots and a line joining points along said street forty (40)
feet from property lines at their intersection, thus forming a sight triangle at
the intersection. (See Figure 3.)
2. Notwithstanding other provisions of this ordinance in any district, fences, walls,
hedges or other plantings may be permitted in any required yard, provided that
nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a manner as
to materially impede vision beyond a height of two and one-half (2.5) feet above
centerline grades of streets in the area of curb cuts bounded by street lines of
driveway accesses and a line joining points along said street lines fifteen (15)
feet from curb cuts intersection with the street, thuse forming a sight triangle
at the intersection of the street and the driveway. (See Figure 4.)
d. Service, storage and refuse areas or structures shall be screened from view of any
residential district or public street with a continuous planting, hedge, solid fence
or masonry wall. Average height of the screening material shall be one (1) foot more
than the height of the enclosed structure, but shall not be required to exceed eight
(8) feet in height.
3. Landscaping - For the purpose of this section, landscaping shall mean any combination of
living plants such as trees, shrubs, vines, ground covers, flowers or lawns; and may in-

I sidewalks and driveways.
b. Any use having more than fifteen (15) parking spaces shall have, in addition to re-
quired yard areas, six percent (6%) of the gross interior parking area landscaped.
Trees shall be the major design element in all parking lots and shall include specic-
ally, one tree per three (3) parking spaces. Tree sizes shall be a minimum of one
and one-half (1.5) inch caliper for deciduous trees or a minimum of four (4 ) feet in
height for coniferous trees.

improvements. The performance bond or letter of credit shall be equal to l~ times the
cost of the parking area improvements. A cost estimate for improvements not installed
at the time of occupancy shall be presented to the Building Official for approval.
Performance bonds or letters of credit will not be released until all required improve-
ments shown on the approved plan are installed and accepted. Foreclosure proceedings
shall be brought against the performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit if the
required improvements have not been completed within twelve (12) months of the posting
of the bond or letter of credit.
j. Snow Removal Areas - Snow storage areas shall be provided sufficient to store snow
accumulation on site. Said areas shall not cause unsafe ingress/egress to t'he parking
