travel trailer, trailer, motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile,
boat, race car, personal watercraft, tractor, or other motorized or
nonmotorized device or combination thereof used to transport people,
cargo or other vehicles.
B. Posted limitations. The Village Board shall have the authority to
restrict the turning or movement of heavy traffic and to impose special
weight limitations on any highway or portions thereof which, because
of special or temporary conditions, would likely be seriously damaged
or destroyed in the absence of any restrictions on heavy traffic movement
or special weight limitations.
(1) The Chief of Police is hereby granted the authority within the reasonable
exercise of police power to prohibit, limit the time or otherwise
restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles beyond the
provisions of Ch. 346, Wis. Stats.
(2) When any law enforcement officer shall find a vehicle, including
automobiles, trucks, tractors, trailers, or vehicles of any description,
standing upon a public street or parking lot for 72 consecutive hours
in the same location at any time (except that, where more restrictive
parking limitations have been established, the more restrictive limits
shall apply), he/she is authorized to move such a vehicle or to require
the operator in charge thereof to move such vehicle to a position
permitted under this chapter. The law enforcement officer may cause
said vehicle to be removed to a proper impoundment and storage area
where storage space is available, and in such case the owner shall
pay the costs of removing said vehicle and the storage fees on said
vehicle before he/she may recover the possession thereof.
C. Off-street parking in residential areas. In all residential zoning
districts, vehicles shall be parked within dedicated parking spaces,
such as a driveway or garage, and shall be a minimum of five feet
from any property line or right-of-way line. Vehicles may be less
than five feet from an interior side property line when screened from

Zoning Administrator and installed between the vehicle and the property
line. Vehicles may not be parked or stored within front or street-side

It shall be unlawful to park any vehicles, trailers, or equipment
used in a commercial or service business overnight on the street within
a residential district.
F. Parking of unattached trailers on the street is prohibited.
G. Residential vehicle storage. Off-season parking, winterization, and
nonuse for 30 consecutive days indicate vehicle storage. Stored vehicles
must be owned by the resident occupying the property or owned by the
