[HISTORY: Adopted 3-3-1953 Annual Town Meeting, Art. 51.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
For the purpose of this chapter, certain words
and phrases are defined, and certain provisions shall be construed,
as herein set out, unless it shall be apparent from the context that
a different meaning is intended.
Any one- or two-room building, tent, house car or automobile
trailer, respectively, used for temporary living quarters.
Any tract or parcel of land used, either with or without
charge, for public camping by transient guests or upon which cabins,
tents, tent houses or similar facilities are provided for use by the
public for temporary lodging.
Any place where two or more overnight cabins, trailers, tents
or motels are located, or any premises designated or intended for
the purpose of supplying to the public a location for overnight cabins,
so-called, trailers, tents or motels.
A section of ground in any tourist camp or park site used,
or designated for use, as a location for a single overnight cabin,
trailer, tent or motel.
No overnight cabin, trailer, tent or motel shall
be closer to another than 30 feet, and no unit shall be permitted
to accommodate more than one overnight cabin, trailer, tent or motel.
No trailer camp or tent site shall be located
closer to a street or public way than 200 feet.
The provisions of this chapter shall not, however,
be construed to prohibit any property owner, residing upon his own
land, from accommodating auto trailers of nonpaying guests; nor shall
they be construed as abrogating the right of any property owner to
erect "overnight cabins," as they are commonly known, under the above
unit rules and under such sanitary restrictions as the Town may establish.
