§ 54-21. Parking permits.

(a)

A short-term special event parking permit issued by the town may be obtained to allow parking within the town on rights-of-way of areas not specifically restricted in section 54-19.

(b)

Residents of the town may apply for special event parking permits. Each residential address would be eligible for up to 25 temporary one-day special event visitor parking permits per event for use for guest vehicles valid for residential parking by permit only areas, subject to approval by the police chief, or his designee. There shall be no charge for such permits. The approval or denial of permits is based upon many factors, including, but not limited to, other permits requested or issued in the same area, abuse of parking privileges in the area, other events scheduled in the area, and emergency access requirements for the area.

(c)

Residents wishing to acquire residential parking permits must contact the town police department in advance of special events such as weddings, parties, receptions, etc., if you live within a residential area that allows on-street parking by permit only. The police department shall be provided with the date, time and number of permits needed. An application form as required by the police department must be completed. Applications for permits must be submitted at least five business days prior to an event.

(d)

Permits will not be issued to any applicant that has unpaid parking violations on record with the town. Permits are only valid on town rights-of-way posted for permit parking.
