[1984 Code § 6-5.6]
As used in this chapter:
Shall be defined as house trailers, trailers which can be
attached to trucks or other propulsion vehicles, self-propelled trailers,
trailers alone with or without wheels, mobile or stationary trailers,
licensed or unlicensed trailers, construction trailers, animal trailers
and all trailers of any size or shape, with or without wheels, used
for storage, whether temporary or permanent.
[1984 Code § 6-5.6]
No trailer of any nature or kind shall be permitted to be stored
or parked on private or public property in any commercial or business
zone as defined in the zoning ordinance, except as hereinafter permitted.
It is the intention of this subsection that trailers, as defined above,
shall not be used for temporary or permanent storage or occupancy
on public or private property, subject to the exceptions hereinafter
set forth.
Trailers, whether attached to propulsion vehicles, unattached
or self-propelled, shall be permitted to be parked on private or public
property for loading or unloading for a period of 24 hours. In the
event that such loading may take a longer period of time, application
shall be made to the Borough Clerk for a permit for the excess time
specifying the estimated time in excess of 24 hours. There shall be
no charge for the permit, but in no event shall the permit exceed
48 hours beyond the original 24 hours.
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any self-propelled
or drawn vehicle of the type commonly known as a trailer or camp car
to park, use, or occupy any such vehicle on any public or private
property within the Borough, for living or housekeeping purposes for
any period of more than six consecutive hours, without a permit issued
by the Health Officer of the Board of Health.
[1984 Code § 6-5.2]
The Health Officer may, in accordance with any rules or regulations
adopted by the Board, issue a permit for the parking, use, or occupancy
of any vehicle, if, after inspection of the vehicle, it appears to
his satisfaction that the maintenance and occupancy will not constitute
a menace to the health of the occupants of the vehicle or residents
of the Borough.
[1984 Code § 6-5.3]
Upon the issuance of any permit as herein provided, the Board
of Health shall receive a fee of $5 to cover the expense of inspection.
[1984 Code § 6-5.4]
No person shall park a house trailer on any property located
in a residential zone in the Borough, as residential zones are defined
in the zoning ordinance. A house trailer, however, may be parked in
a residential zone during the course of short-term visits by the owner
of the house trailer with the owner of the property, but in no event
may be located upon any property in a residential zone for a longer
period than 10 days in any one year; nor shall the house trailer be
occupied as living quarters during the visit.
[1984 Code § 6-5]
The location upon any plot in a residential zone of a structure
formerly used as a house trailer shall not exclude such structure
from the operation of the provisions of this section by reason of
the removal of the wheels or the conversion in any manner of such
structure to a permanently located building. In no event shall any
such structure be deemed to be a dwelling or residence or accessory
to a residence within the terms of any ordinance of the Borough.
