placed under the wheels of the trailer, it being the responsibility

such periods of time when the parking of storage trailers upon the

for such storage trailer is on the street or highway, then the storage
trailer shall be parked in front of the work site or any property
owned by the storage trailer owner and only during the period of time
when the particular owner, contractor, landscaper or storage trailer

immediately following the completion of the construction, work, landscaping,
grass cutting or other project on which a particular contractor or
person was engaged.

Under no circumstances shall any storage trailer that is used in connection with sales of goods or merchandise or in connection with the vending of food be parked or permitted to be parked on any street at any time unless the storage trailer is being used in connection with a special event that has been approved in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 376, Special Events, of the Code of the City of North Wildwood and/or connection with an activity for which a mercantile license has been issued by the City Clerk.
