B. Upon an accumulation of two or more inches of snow, no vehicle of any kind shall be allowed to remain standing on any street or public highway until the snow has ended and the road has been cleared of snow. Notwithstanding the above, the Village Manager shall have the authority to suspend this prohibition for all or any portion of a street or public highway for stated periods of time and during stated times of day. Should weather conditions result in the declaration of a state of emergency, the Village Manager may issue an emergency order modifying these provisions as necessary. C. Vehicles must be relocated to off-street locations and may be parked on the Village right-of-way area directly in front of the vehicle owner's residence, except that vehicles may not be parked on any part of a street, sidewalk, or curb. Vehicles parked in the Municipal Building parking lot, Asbury Methodist parking lot, Merwin Oak parking lot, and South Harmon parking lot must be moved within 12 hours after snow has ended. [C]D. Special hardship permits. In cases where there is no off-street location or right- of-way area which can be used, the Village Manager shall, upon written application, verification of the applicant's special hardship and payment of a fee charged in accordance with the fee schedule established by the Village Board of Trustees, issue an annual permit granting permission to park motor vehicles on the street or public highway except for certain streets designated by the Village Manager, upon recommendation of the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works, provided that such parking conforms to all other laws and regulations. No permit parking shall be permitted on those streets designated by the Village Manager. Hardship permit holders shall move their vehicles to an area cleared of snow no later than 12 hours after the snow stops. 4911-5812-5274, v. 1 [D]E. Overnight parking.

If any section, subsection, clause, phrase or other portion of this Local Law is, for any reason, declared invalid, in whole or in part, by any court agency, commission, legislative body or other authority of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent portion. Such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof, which other portions shall continue in full effect.
