Full Breakdown
1, added in 2007 within Chapter 10 (Parks and Recreation Areas), does not set a single townwide ban on overnight street parking; instead it lists specific Town-owned lots and the rules for each. , and each lot separately bars overnight parking without authorization. The same subsection extends that overnight bar to the parking area for Glacier Ridge Park. Each lot's rule cites the Town of Brookhaven Uniform Traffic Code, Article VIII, Section 36, as its underlying authority, showing that the day-to-day townwide vehicle and traffic rules live in a separate Uniform Traffic Code rather than in this general ordinance chapter.
Violators at any of these lots are, in the code's own words, 'subject to ticket and tow,' which lines up with the broader towing authority in § 10-19 for vehicles parked in designated park areas against posted regulations, carrying a $50 redemption fee plus $5 per day in storage. Because these three lots sit adjacent to Town Hall and a specific park, a driver looking for a general overnight parking ban on a residential street elsewhere in Brookhaven needs the separate Uniform Traffic Code, not Chapter 10, for that answer.
Violations & Fines
Overnight parking without authorization at the North, South, or East Town Hall lots, or at the Glacier Ridge Park lot, makes the vehicle subject to ticketing and towing under § 10-19.1. A towed vehicle is redeemable under the related § 10-19 towing rule for $50 plus $5 per day in storage charges, in addition to any ticket issued under the Uniform Traffic Code.
