[G.O. No. 571, § 1]
As used in this chapter, a "trailer" means any motor vehicle
or motor-drawn vehicle, as those terms are defined in and by Title
39:1-1 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey, which is so designed,
constructed, reconstructed or added to by means of portable accessories
as will permit the occupancy thereof as a temporary dwelling or sleeping
place for one or more persons.
[G.O. No. 1285, § I]
It shall be unlawful, within the Town, for any person to park
overnight or permit the parking overnight of any trailer on any public
highway, street, alley, park or any other public space. No occupied
trailer shall be parked on any site, lot, field, or tract of land
within the Town not specifically licensed for the purpose.
[G.O. No. 1285, § II; G.O. No. 1619, § I]
Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit the parking,
without charge therefor, of not more than one occupied trailer on
the premises of any occupied dwelling, or dwelling temporarily unoccupied
as a result of a fire or other casualty; provided, that the operator
of such trailer, within three days after its arrival, shall make application
at the Construction Official's office for a permit, which permit,
if granted, shall limit the time of such parking to a period of not
longer than four months from the date of application therefor.
No more than one such permit shall be issued to any one occupied
trailer owner, operator or occupant in any one twelve-month period,
except in cases where the trailer is being used as a temporary residence
during reconstruction of a dwelling, located on the same tract of
land, rendered uninhabitable as a result of a fire or other casualty,
in which event, a single consecutive renewal of four additional months
shall be permitted by the Construction Official.
The Town Council may also grant further extensions after the
expiration of the original permit and the single four months'
extension upon application to it and for good cause shown. Application
for such permit shall contain a statement showing the street number
or other location of the occupied or formerly occupied dwelling where
the occupied trailer is parked or is to be parked, the name of the
occupant, or former occupant, in control of such dwelling and his
endorsement granting permission for such parking, the name and address
of the occupants of such trailer, the license numbers of each unit
of such trailer, and the State issuing such license. A copy of such
permit shall be posted in or on the trailer for which it was issued
in such a manner as to be readily noticeable at all times. It shall
be unlawful to occupy such trailer without a permit.
