The purpose of this article is to provide rules and regulations
for the location, construction and maintenance of temporary toilet

and welfare of the residents of the Borough of River Edge.
The following definitions shall apply to this article:
A portable watertight chemical vault used by the public for
outings, picnics, bazaars, or by contractors and their workmen at
a construction site.
No person, firm, partnership, corporation, association or organization
of any kind (hereinafter collectively referred to as "person") shall
construct or install any temporary toilet facility upon any property
within the Borough of River Edge without first obtaining a permit
issued by the Zoning Officer, or his or her designee, as provided
herein.
A.
Before any temporary toilet facility shall be placed upon any property
with the Borough, the person desiring to construct or install the
temporary toilet facility shall make an application for a permit in
writing to the Zoning Officer. The application shall contain or have
attached thereto the following:
(1)
The name, residence or building address, and telephone number of
the applicant.
(2)
The name, address, and telephone number of the property owner, if
other than the applicant, together with the written consent of the
owner to the application.
(3)
The name of the company or firm supplying the temporary toilet facility,
the frequency of emptying and/or cleaning of the facility, the number
of facilities and the proposed location of each on the property, and
the date the temporary toilet facility will be removed from the property.
B.
The Zoning Officer, or his or her designees, will review the application
for completeness and compliance with the terms of this article. The
application shall be forwarded to the Zoning Officer for review of
the proposed location of the temporary toilet facility and compliance
with the setback requirements after which the applications shall be
returned to the Zoning Officer. If the application is deemed complete
by the Zoning Officer, or his or her designee, and complies with the
terms of this article, a permit shall be issued. If the application
is not completed, or does not comply with the terms of this article,
the Zoning Officer shall so notify the applicant within five business
days of the submission of the application.
The following rules and regulations shall apply for any application
for temporary toilet facilities:
A.
No permit shall be issued unless the applicant shall demonstrate
that the temporary toilet facility contains a locking device suitable
to secure the facility and prohibit entry when it is not in use.
B.
Temporary toilet facilities located on construction sites shall be
locked in order to prohibit entry between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and
7:00 a.m. the following day and at all other times when there is no
construction activity on the site.
C.
Each temporary toilet facility must be maintained in a sanitary condition
so as not to create foul odors, attract flies or other insects, or
otherwise create a public health nuisance.
D.
Each temporary toilet facility must be setback 20 feet from the property
lines or as close as practical subject to Zoning Officer's review.
E.
Each temporary toilet facility must be placed so that its front door
opens opposite from any public street or sidewalk.
F.
No permit for a temporary toilet facility shall be issued for a period
of more than six months.
Any permit issued pursuant to this article may be revoked by
the Zoning Officer at any time if the applicant or owner of the property
on which the temporary toilet facility is located maintains the facility
in violation of the state sanitary code, or any ordinance.
The Zoning Officer is authorized to administer the provisions
of this article. The provisions of this article shall be enforced
by the Zoning Officer, or his or her designee, or the Code Enforcement
Officer of the Borough of River Edge.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or
on which a violation occurs or continues.
