She attempted to question the Town Board about how it was going to enforce the moratorium.

"How are you going to be able to control who parked the cars last year and who is going to park cars this year?" May said. "I don't know that you're going to be able to enforce this because I don't know that you know who is (providing) parking (to) people now."

The public hearing Wednesday was not intended to set new rules for parking lots that already exist in the town, but to stop new ones from popping up, Town Attorney John Bailey clarified.

"The moratorium is for a year. Nobody can expand their lots around the stadium for the coming year. And, in that time, the Town Board is going to study the problem and issue new regulations," Bailey said.

Under the newly approved law, homeowners and owners of other private parking lots would not be allowed to increase their footprint or the number of cars they park, or create parking lots at sites where they have not existed before.

The moratorium was spurred by complaints from residents that more of these lots have been popping up in residential areas.

"Our intention would be to respect everybody's rights, business or private property," Councilman Michael Sherry said.
