No vehicle shall be left standing on any parking area or lot without the permission of the owner or lessee thereof.
Conspicuous signs shall be posted in parking lot areas informing the public of any parking restrictions, and any such sign shall substantially conform to the following specifications:
PARKING RESTRICTED (six-inch letters)
EXCEPT FOR (list persons or permitted conditions only) (four-inch letters)
ALL OTHERS KEEP OUT (six-inch letters)
UNDER PENALTY OF LAW (six-inch letters)
SECTION 103-5, CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF WILLIAMSVILLE (two-inch letters)
POLICE ENFORCEMENT (six-inch letters)
Such signs shall be at least three by four (3 x 4) feet with red lettering on a white background. The words “Police Enforcement” and “Under Penalty of Law” on such signs shall be construed, among other things, as a request by the owner or lessee that the police enforce the restrictions, and that the police are authorized to enter upon such premises to enforce the restrictions. Persons violating the restrictions shall be deemed to be using the premises without the authority and consent of the owner or lessee and in violation of this chapter.
This section may be enforced by the police in the same manner as all other traffic and parking ordinances, including the use of tags, summonses, towing and other procedures authorized by law.
A vehicle pound shall be the place or places to which automobiles or other vehicles may be removed by the Amherst Department of Police. The Chief of Police shall designate any such place or places to be used, without expense to the village, as a vehicle pound, and from time to time may change any such designation. Any vehicle left unattended in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York may be removed to the vehicle pound by the Department of Police.
Removal of illegally parked vehicles; redemption. Any vehicle found by a police officer to be standing in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York may be removed and conveyed by or under the direction of a member of the Department of Police, by means of towing or otherwise, to the vehicle pound. Such removal shall be at the risk of the owner of the vehicle. Before the owner or person in charge of the vehicle shall be permitted to remove it from the custody of the police, he shall furnish evidence of his identity and ownership or right to possession, shall sign a receipt of such vehicle and shall pay to the Clerk of the Village Justice Court the sum of $60 for towing and the sum of $5 for each day or fraction thereof during the time the vehicle remains in the pound.
A police officer or duly designated Village Parking Enforcement Officer may serve a summons upon the owner or driver of a vehicle which is parked or standing illegally by affixing the summons to the vehicle.
Each summons shall indicate the issuing authority; the date, hour and location of the violation; the name of the issuing officer; and the license plate number of the vehicle. The summons shall also indicate the specific section of state or local law of which violation is charged and shall direct the owner or operator to appear before the Clerk of the Village Court within the time specified thereon for appropriate proceeding. A plea of guilty, without further proceedings, will be entered upon mailing of the summons and the appropriate fine to the Williamsville Court, 5565 Main Street, P.O. Box 1557, Williamsville, New York 14221.
If the owner of the vehicle does not appear or mail the summons and pay the fine within the specified time, a warrant shall be issued for his appearance before Village Court. The Court may impose a fine not to exceed $50, upon finding or plea of guilty, in addition to the fine for the original violation.
If any provision of this chapter is inconsistent with any other provision of the Village Code, the provision of this chapter shall control, and such other provision, to the extent of such inconsistency only, is superseded.
Penalties for offenses. Every person convicted of a traffic infraction for a violation of any provision of this chapter which is not a violation of any provision of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York shall, for a first conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than $150 or by imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; for a second such conviction within 18 months thereafter, such person shall be punished by a fine of not more than $300 or by imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; upon a third or subsequent conviction within 18 months after the first conviction, such person shall be punished by a fine of not more than $450 or by imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
[Amended 4-25-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
Severability. If any Article, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or provision of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such adjudication shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the Article, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or provision thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
Repealer. All prior local laws or codes, or parts thereof, of this village regulating traffic and parking are hereby repealed, except that this repeal shall not affect or prevent the prosecution or punishment of any person for any act done or committed in violation of any local law or code hereby repealed prior to the taking effect of this chapter.
