Check out our new weekly feature: Behind the Badge Fridays!
Our first post is about Ordinance: (4-6-3) Parking Standards
The parking of any motor vehicle within the front yard or street side yard shall be on a driveway or parking pad.
Why?
1.) Vehicles are heavy! Parking them on the grass can put extra weight on water or sewage pipes. This can cause the pipes to burst!
2.) Parking on the grass can cause groundwater issues! This happens when fluids from the vehicle leak onto the grass and seep into the ground.
3.) In the right conditions, it can start a grass fire.
