Summary
In unincorporated Boone County, the Royal Run subdivision carries its own snow-parking rule: once at least two inches of snow accumulate in a 24-hour period, parking on any public road or right-of-way inside Royal Run is prohibited until the county or its agents plow or clear those roads. Ordinance 2013-02 created the rule March 4, 2013; no other subdivision carries an identical listed rule.
Location Restriction Type Ord. No. Date Passed ... Parking prohibited on the public roads or rights-of-way within the Royal Run subdivision after the accumulation of at least two inches Royal Run of snowfall within a 2013-02 3-4-2013 subdivision 24-hour period, until the public roads and rights-of- way within Royal Run are plowed and/or cleared by the county
Full Breakdown
Chapter 72, Schedule I lists the Royal Run subdivision alongside Crane Drive, Diane Lane, Hunt Country Lane, Indianapolis Road and East Stonegate Drive as one of the county's specific parking restrictions, but Royal Run's entry is the only snow-triggered one in the schedule: parking is banned on the public roads or rights-of-way within the subdivision only after snowfall reaches two inches or more within a single 24-hour period, and the ban stays in force until county crews or their agents plow or otherwise clear those roads and rights-of-way.
Ordinance 2013-02, passed March 4, 2013, created the restriction, written specifically to lift once clearing is complete rather than for a fixed number of hours. Because the trigger is a snowfall total rather than a calendar-based alternate-side rule, Royal Run drivers have to track accumulation themselves; the code sets no separate notice requirement, siren, or posted-sign duty for the county before the ban takes effect. No other Boone County subdivision or road carries a comparable snow-triggered parking ban in Schedule I, so the two-inch trigger is unique to Royal Run within the schedule as read.
Violations & Fines
Parking on a Royal Run public road or right-of-way after two inches of snow has fallen in 24 hours, and before the county or its agents finish plowing, violates Ordinance 2013-02 as codified in Chapter 72, Schedule I. As with the schedule's other location-specific entries, citation and any towing response falls to county law enforcement and highway crews clearing the storm, since the section itself sets no separate fine amount.
