Section 1. - Agricultural uses.
Because it is assumed that agricultural land uses will be placed on a lot of sufficient size, all agricultural districts are exempt from any off-street parking requirements.
Section 2. - Residential uses.
One 300-square-foot parking space or driveway is required for every residential dwelling unit. In the event that the driveway intersects a public drainage way, the developer must provide a culvert deemed suitable by the county road department for ensuring proper drainage flow.

From the handicapped spaces a paved walkway of at least five feet in width must extend to the main entrance of the establishment. The size of each handicapped parking space shall be no less than 13 feet in width and the length shall be consistent with all other parking spaces. Handicapped spaces must be marked either on the pavement or by a sign at head of the space.
V.3.2 Ingress and egress. All ingress and egress to the parking areas must be paved with a hard surface, have a minimum width of at least 30 feet and a length of at least 40 feet.
