This would allow the fees to be updated as needed without having to amend the entire Ordinance each time
History/Background:
Town Council Meeting 10/12/2022: In considering a motion to set a public hearing date to receive comments regarding the proposed Commercial Vehicle Parking Ordinance, it was agreed that rather than create a separate ordinance that the provisions regarding the parking of Commercial Vehicles on town roads be added to Ordinance #300-027 (rev 1) “An Ordinance Regulating Parking and Other Activities in Town Roads and Rights-of-Way and Providing Penalties for the Violation Thereof”.
Proposed amendments to Ordinance #300-027 (rev 2) “An Ordinance Regulating Parking and Other Activities in Town Roads and Rights-of-Way and Providing Penalties for the Violation Thereof” as contained in the draft dated October 13, 2022 is attached.
The LUPPW Committee discussed potential mechanisms to address regarding safety concerns pertaining to a large commercial tow truck/flatbed that was parked on a residential street, which included using an Ordinance versus the Zoning Regulations. They also discussed the complexity of the issue, noting that it was multi-faceted involving safety and inconvenience issues.
The LUPPW Committee discussed with Land Use Director/Town Planner Juliet Hodge a number of scenarios, the challenge to define the qualifying characteristics/criteria, and potential exemptions:
• Impeding sight lines, cannot see children getting on and off the school bus, neighbors cannot see to pull out of their driveways.
• Neighbors hearing large noisy trucks starting up at 2:00 a.m. to leave for work.
• Large pick-up trucks that could be registered as a commercial vehicle, but were used as a passenger truck; and was registered as such.
• Parking five limousines on the curb in front of their home.
• Parking an oil truck in front of their house.
• Public property cannot be used to subsidize private companies, which meant that commercial vehicles could not park on the street.
• Parking a tractor trailer on the side of the road without the cab portion of the truck.
v Characteristics /Criteria
• Size of Vehicle
ü Height - Bigger than 8 feet tall
ü Width - Longer than 20 feet long
ü Weight - Heavier than 12,000 pounds
v Exceptions:
• Commercial vehicles being parked on residential street during normal business hours if they were working on the property to provide services such as cutting grass, painting a house, tree removal, delivering oil or repairing a furnace, doing an addition, etc.
v Ordinance versus Zoning Regulations:
|
Ordinance |
Zoning Regulations |
|
• Police Department could ticket for violators. |
• Challenge to enforce. |
|
• Tickets would be in accordance with State of Connecticut Complaint Ticket (Parking Ticket CGS 7-148; 7-148(c) ) (i.e. Ordinance #600-003) |
• Include provisions in both the Zoning Regulations and in an Ordinance. |
|
|
|
Should the town decide to implement an Ordinance or Zoning Regulations, or both, to limit/prohibit the parking of large commercial vehicles on the street, a Public Hearing would be held prior to the adoption of the Ordinance. Initially the Police Department could issue warnings to alert people that they were in violation of the new law, and if the situation continued then they could issue Tickets in accordance with State Statute Section 7-148; 7-148(c) which already included an “Appeals Process”.
Land Use Director/Town Planner Juliet Hodge offered to draft an Ordinance for the LUPPW Committee to consider, as well as a Zoning Regulation amendment for the Planning & Zoning Commission to consider.

Action: Recommend to Approve
Minute Note:
Discussion: Councilor Saums stated in response to resident’s concerns regarding safety issues pertaining to a large commercial vehicle being parked on a residential street that amendments have been proposed to Ordinance # 300-027 “ An Ordinance Regulating Parking of Commercial Vehicles On Public Streets In Residential Zones And /Or In Front of Residentially Used Properties”. He stated in determining the best mechanism to address the on-going issue of the commercial vehicles being parked in residential neighborhoods and on town roads that both the Zoning Regulations and the use of an Ordinance were discussed. He stated because of the enforcement issues involved it was determined that amending Ordnance #300-027(rev 2) would be the best option because the Police could issue a ticket for violators.
Councilor Ingalls stated the Land Use/Planning/Public Works Committee took the lead on drafting the proposal to address the parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas. She noted in reviewing the Ordinance at their September 28, 2022 meeting the Administration Committee recommended taking the “Fines” out of the Ordinance and making them an Appendix, as they have done for other Ordinances that have a fee schedule, so that if they wanted to make a change to the Fines they would not need to go thru the process to amend the Ordinance itself.
It was noted that the Fine Schedule provided in the Appendix was in accordance with CGS Sec. 7-148. Scope of municipal powers “Violation of Municipal Parking Ordinances”.
Mayor Allyn, III, stated the Town Hall fields a number of telephone calls regarding large commercial vehicles such as tow trucks, home heating oil trucks, etc. being parked in higher density neighborhoods making it difficult for cars to go around them. He went on to note that the school bus drivers have also complained because the commercial vehicles make it difficult and dangerous for them to drive thru the area. He stated they have also received calls about a large tractor trailer parked on the side of the road idling taking up three-quarters of the lane, making it difficult for other vehicles to pass. He stated as winter approaches that they want to make sure people were aware that they cannot park on the street noting it was difficult for the plows to go around the vehicles.
Councilor Ryan stated the proposed Ordinance Amendments included a number of exceptions, noting that if a contractor was actively providing a service during regular business hours that they would not be fined.
Councilor Rodriguez stated a resident attended the May 2, 2022 Land Use/Planning/Public Works Committee meeting to express safety concerns regarding the large commercial vehicles being parked on residential streets. She noted that this has also occurred in her neighborhood. She stated the question that comes up was “Who do you call”, noting that they did not know who owned the truck, etc., and that it was a safety issue. She stated in speaking with a resident about the proposed Ordinance Amendments that would prohibit large commercial trucks parking on residential streets that the resident stated that the regulation was unenforceable. She went on to note that someone suggested that they would have to post a sign on every street. She stated in speaking with Police Chief Rich that he has reviewed the proposed draft Ordinance Amendments that he stated it was enforceable; and that they did not have to have signs on every street. She went on to state in speaking with Councilor Paul who worked for a home heating oil company, that he stated their policy was if an employee took a truck home that they have to be able to park the truck in a safe place such as their driveway. She stated Councilor Paul stated they could not park the truck in the street because of safety and liability issues.
