The off-street public parking facilities hereinbefore described[1] shall constitute and be known as and designated the "Township of Moorestown West Parking Plaza" hereinafter referred to as the "Parking Plaza" or as the "Plaza".
Editor's Note: The preamble to this ordinance described such land as follows: "a tract of land . . . containing approximately 95,500 square feet, located within the bounds of West Main Street, West Second Street, North Church Street and Mill Street, and having a frontage of approximately 323 linear feet on the southerly side of West Second Street."
The Parking Plaza shall be operated by the Township.
The twenty-five-foot-wide easement-of-way granted to the Township by Sun Oil Company, and extending from the northerly curb of West Main Street northwardly along the easterly side of premises No. 31 West Main Street to the Parking Plaza, may be used by the public as a means of access from West Main Street to the Plaza; but no person at any time shall operate any vehicle on said easement-of-way as a means of egress from the Parking Plaza.
The eleven-foot-wide easement-of-way vested in the Township, and extending from the northerly curb of West Main Street northwardly along the westerly side of premises No. 37 West Main Street to the Parking Plaza, may be used by pedestrians as a means of access and egress between West Main Street and the Plaza; but no person at any time shall operate any vehicle on said easement-of-way for the purpose of access to or egress from the Parking Plaza.
Although the individual parking spaces delineated on the surface of the Plaza are intended primarily for the parking of passenger motor vehicles, the parking of trucks and other commercial motor vehicles in such parking spaces is permitted; provided, however, that no person at any time shall park in any parking space on the Plaza any truck or other commercial motor vehicle having a gross vehicle weight of more than 8,000 pounds or any overall length in excess of 20 feet.
[Added 6-23-1986 by Ord. No. 1310]
No person shall park in parking spaces designated "handicapped parking," as established by Chapter 168, Vehicles and Traffic, unless such person has been issued a special vehicle identification card by the Division of Motor Vehicles and properly and conspicuously exhibits such card.
Regulatory signs and warning signs shall be erected and maintained to effect the above-designated handicapped parking spaces as authorized by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
No person at any time shall park any vehicle or leave any vehicle standing on any roadway located on the Parking Plaza or on any easement-of-way connecting therewith; except and provided, however, that between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any weekday (2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Wednesdays) vehicles shall be permitted to stand on the roadway constructed adjacent to the concrete sidewalk abutting the rear of the several commercial premises that extend southwardly from the Plaza to West Main Street for the purpose of and while actually engaged in unloading or loading merchandise at and for said commercial premises respectively; and provided, further, that no person shall at any time cause any such vehicle to stand on said roadway in such manner as to unnecessarily obstruct the movement of other vehicles on said roadway or the passage of pedestrians along said concrete sidewalk.
