No trailers shall be or remain parked on any
land in the Town of Haddam, off the public highways, unless the owner
thereof shall have applied for and obtained a zoning permit therefor
from the Zoning Enforcement Officer, with the exception of the following
classes of trailers, which are excluded from the operation of this
regulation:
A. Trailers occupied as living quarters, which are parked
on land in the Town of Haddam on November 21, 1974, so long as such
trailers shall remain on the same site.
B. Trailers which are both unoccupied and held for resale
or repair, in the course of trade, by a dealer licensed as may be
required by law.
C. Trailers which are unoccupied; provided, however,
that such trailers shall be subject to the provisions of §
270-118
of these regulations.
No trailer shall be or remain parked on any
land in the Town of Haddam for more than 30 days in any calendar year,
except as hereinafter provided.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer may approve the
use of a trailer for living quarters to an individual engaged in construction
of a residence on the same premises, provided that such approval shall
not extend for a period longer than 12 months, and provided that such
trailer shall have a water supply and sewage disposal system approved
by the Haddam Health Officer. In the event the trailer is proposed
to be located in a special flood hazard area, placement of the trailer
is subject to the provisions of Article
XIV of these regulations,
as it relates to manufactured homes.
An annual inspection fee of $7.50 shall be charged
for each trailer licensed hereunder, and each license shall be valid
for one year from the date of issuance, but only for the particular
trailer and location specified therein.
Each license application shall be accompanied
by the proper inspection fee and shall contain the following information:
A. The make, model, serial number, and motor vehicle
registration number of the subject trailer.
B. The name and home address of the owner of the trailer.
C. The number of persons who will occupy the trailer
as living quarters.
D. The specific location in the Town of Haddam to be
occupied by the trailer.
E. Health Director approval.
The application for licenses under this regulation
shall constitute authorization for inspection of the subject premises,
at all reasonable times, by an appropriate official or agent of the
Town of Haddam.
No more than one trailer at a time may be parked
on one lot. Adjoining lots having common ownership shall be considered
one lot for the purpose of this restriction.
Any person convicted of violating or aiding
the violation of any provision of this article shall be fined not
more than $100, and each day of violation shall constitute a separate
offense.
The federally mandated flood hazard zone regulations
found in Article
XIV of these regulations contain additional restrictions
on trailers and supersede these regulations in areas of conflict.
