[Amended 3-19-1979 by Ord. No. 2-1979]
The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced by the Zoning Inspector of the Borough. In no case shall a permit be granted for the construction or alteration of any building where the proposed construction, alteration or use thereof would be in violation of any provisions in this chapter. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Inspector or his duly authorized assistants to cause any building, plans or premises to be inspected or examined and to order, in writing, the remedying of any conditions found to exist in violation of any provision of this chapter, and he has the right to enter any building or premises in the course of these duties.

D. 
Temporary use permits. It is recognized that it may be in accordance with the purpose of this chapter to permit temporary activities for a limited period of time, which activities may be prohibited by other provisions of this chapter. If such uses are of such a nature and are so located that, at the time of petition, they will in no way exert a detrimental effect upon the uses of land and activities normally permitted in the zone, and they will contribute materially to the welfare of the Borough, particularly in a state of emergency, under conditions peculiar to the time and place involved, then the Board of Adjustment may, subject to all regulations for the issuance of use permits elsewhere specified, direct the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer, as applicable, to issue a permit for a period not to exceed six months. However, such a permit for a temporary construction trailer may be issued by the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer as appropriate. The Building Inspector or Zoning Officer may issue this permit provided that various requirements established by checklist of the Tuckerton Zoning Offices are met. Should the applicant not meet the requirements of the checklist, then application to the Board of Adjustment is required. Such a permit may not be issued for a period longer than six months. Further, in the event that such a permit is needed for a trailer on a temporary basis until construction of a residence or other building is completed, said trailer must be removed within 30 days after issuance of a certificate of occupancy[4] for the permanent construction. In the event that a storage or construction trailer is needed for a period after six months, after the initial six months period has expired, the applicant must apply to the Board of Adjustment for a permit for any period longer than the initial six-months approved by the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer. It is recommended that all applicants contact their appropriate insurance carrier to determine whether any extent of any homeowners and property insurance will apply to any temporary storage or construction trailers.
