§ 22-67. Permit requirements.

(a)

Prior to any motor vehicle being driven, parked, or otherwise located on the beach strand, the owner or operator shall first obtain a permit to do so. This permit shall be issued at a cost in accordance with the regularly adopted fee schedule of the town at the time of issuance of the permit and the owner or operator will receive a device or insignia which must be displayed only on the vehicle as designated in the permit, which permit shall not be transferable to any other vehicle or person. If any person drives or leaves a vehicle parked on the beach strand, and that vehicle does not have the required permit, that person shall be in violation of this division.

(b)

All vehicles herein granted permits to be driven, parked, or otherwise located on the strands shall have currently valid state licenses and registrations. All drivers must have valid drivers' licenses.

(c)

If for any reason, the police or administrative departments are unable to identify the driver of a vehicle in violation of this division, then the owner of that vehicle shall assume full responsibility for any violations involving his vehicle.

(d)

All permits to drive on the beach strand shall be issued by the police or administrative departments.

(e)

Permits shall be issuable as seasonal permits and/or seven-day permits. Seasonal permit holders shall be issued a permit in a form different from weekly or seven-day permits. The issuing person, if not a member of the police department, shall, as soon as reasonable, provide the police department with a photostatic copy of the weekly or seven-day permit, and shall instruct the permit user to conspicuously display the permit in the left-hand portion of the permitted vehicle's front windshield.

(f)

Permit fees shall be as listed in the town schedule of fees.
