Currently fighting my city to park a future travel trailer on my property. Speaking with alderman and the city planner, they showed me this ordinance language under Parking prohibited category.
Under this ordinance they pointed to this saying I might have a problem due to this. Under "prohibited Motor Vehicles and Equipment" it states "Shall mean commercial trucks and busses, (recreational motor vehicles over twenty-four (24') feet in length, "
My response was it's not a motor vehicle it's a travel trailer. they stated "oh" "i'll have to get back with you . Later stating they "interpreted" that statement to also mean all "campers" motor or otherwise.
They way I read it is "motor vehicles" not travel trailers right?
Any thoughts?
They will have additional ordinances that prohibit things like construction trailers, boat trailers etc. If you somehow convince them the "motor" part should exclude your trailer under the recreational motor vehicles wording, they will just get you elsewhere. Stir the pot enough and you will be inviting code enforcement to examine your property with a fine toothed comb. Not worth it to me.
