[Amended 6-27-1960]
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meaning indicated:
TRAILER
Any trailer, trailer coach, camp car or any similar unit
used for living, sleeping or business purposes, by one or more persons,
which is equipped or capable of being equipped with wheels or similar
devices used for the purpose of transporting the unit from place to
place, whether it be self-propelled or otherwise.
TRAILER CAMP
Any tract of land designed, maintained or intended for the
purpose of supplying a location or accommodation for a trailer but
shall not include lots on which unoccupied trailers may be parked
for the purpose of sale.
No person shall maintain or operate within the limits of the
Township any trailer camp for hire or without charge unless such person
first obtains a license therefor.
The applicant for a license shall be required to publish a notice
of such application once a week for two weeks prior to the time the
license is granted. Where the application is for premises upon which
the required facilities have not as yet been constructed, the granting
of the license shall be upon condition that the construction of the
camp follows the plans and specifications filed with the license application.
Each year after a license is originally issued and on June 1,
the licensee shall file application for a renewal of any license heretofore
issued. In the event a licensee enlarges the area licensed or changes
the facilities available at his camp, he shall first make application
for permission to do so, furnishing revised plans or specifications
where necessary. The Township Committee may prescribe forms for original
or renewal applications.
Each applicant for a license shall deposit with the Township
committee a bond in the sum of $5,000 to secure his compliance with
the terms of this section.
In addition to the license fee imposed by this section, the
licensee shall collect and pay a service and inspection charge of
$1 per day for each trailer campsite occupied. This service and inspection
charge shall be paid to the Township Clerk daily.
[Amended 12-22-1959; 6-27-1960]
A. No person owning any trailer shall locate, park, keep, or maintain
a trailer upon any lot or tract of land within the Township except
in an enclosed building or in a licensed trailer camp, except that
the trailer may be parked for not longer than three hours for the
purpose of shopping or other legitimate reason on any of the streets
in the Township where parking is otherwise permitted.
B. No trailer may be parked in a trailer camp in the Township for a
period longer than 60 days in any one calendar year.
After notice and hearing, the Township Committee may revoke
or suspend the license of any licensee who violates the provisions
of this section or who refuses to permit the inspection of a trailer
camp by the Township Clerk or the Township health department upon
request made for such inspection. The licensed premises shall be open
to such inspection at all times.
[Amended 6-5-1972]
Any penalty resulting from conviction for violation of any provision of this section shall not prevent the imposition of revocation or suspension in accordance with §
499-11.
