As used in this section, a "handicapped person" means

a physical impairment verified, in writing, by the Director of
the Division of Rehabilitation or a physician licensed to practice
medicine in this state that such impairment limits substantially
his ability to move from place td place. A handicapped person
may park in a parking space identified as being reserved for use
by the handicapped whether on public property or private property
available for public use. The owner of private property available
for public use may request the installation of official signs
identifying parking spaces reserved for use by the handicapped.
Such a request shall be a waiver of any objection the owner may
assert concerning enforcement of this section by peace officers
of the Town of Avon, and such officers are hereby authorized
and empowered to so enforce this section, provisions of the law
to the contrary notwithstanding.
1. A placket or wheelchair license plate issued to
a handicapped person by the State Motor Vehicle
Division shall be displayed on the vehicle while
parked in such space;
•
•
2. It is unlawful for any person other than a
handicapped person to park in a parking space on
public or private property which is clearly
identified by an official sign as being reserved
for use by the handicapped unless such person is
parking the vehicle for the benefit of a handicapped
person.

any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not to
exceed five hundred dollars.

invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this Ordinance; and the Town Council hereby
declares it would have passed this Ordinance, and each part,
section , subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless
of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

and declares that this Ordinance is necessary and proper for the
health, safety and welfare of the Town of Avon and the inhabitants
thereof.

imposed, any violation that occurred prior to the effective date
hereof, any prosecution commenced, nor any other action or pro-
ceedings as commenced under or by virtue of the provision repealed
