Albert Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Ordinary temporary occupancy has a stated time limit | Section 3.7A says RV occupancy does not require a zoning permit and RVs are not dwelling units. It describes temporary dwelling use for a total period of no more than 180 consecutive days in a 12-month period with proper refuse disposal, including sewage. The checker addresses a confirmed continuous stay; it does not invent a reset or resolve multiple separated stays from that wording. |
| Permanent water and sewage connections are restricted | Section 3.7A4 prohibits permanently connecting an ordinary RV to water or sewage facilities. Licensed RV parks are separately addressed and subject to their own requirements. A general utilities checkbox does not establish whether a connection is permanent or authorized. |
| Vacant and platted parcels need separate attention | Section 3.7A5 says occupied RVs shall not be placed on a vacant lot smaller than one acre or on a platted lot. Exactly one acre is not below that acreage threshold, but that fact alone is not occupancy permission. The selected checker requires the township to confirm an unplatted ordinary route and leaves uncertain plat classification for review. |
| Non-waterfront residential storage uses side or rear yards | Under section 3.7B1, recreational-equipment storage on non-waterfront R-1, R-2 and R-3 lots with a principal building is limited to side or rear yards. The Zoning Administrator may authorize another yard if side/rear access is unavailable. The selected front-yard check excludes that authorization and does not assume every driveway is a front yard. |
Confirm Albert Township and the RV definition
This guide concerns Albert Township in Montmorency County, including the Lewiston area only where the township governs. The ordinance defines an RV by recreational design but treats a unit 45 feet or longer overall as a manufactured home. Exactly 45 feet therefore falls outside this selected RV checker.
Ordinary temporary occupancy has a stated time limit
Section 3.7A says RV occupancy does not require a zoning permit and RVs are not dwelling units. It describes temporary dwelling use for a total period of no more than 180 consecutive days in a 12-month period with proper refuse disposal, including sewage. The checker addresses a confirmed continuous stay; it does not invent a reset or resolve multiple separated stays from that wording.
Permanent water and sewage connections are restricted
Section 3.7A4 prohibits permanently connecting an ordinary RV to water or sewage facilities. Licensed RV parks are separately addressed and subject to their own requirements. A general utilities checkbox does not establish whether a connection is permanent or authorized.
Vacant and platted parcels need separate attention
Section 3.7A5 says occupied RVs shall not be placed on a vacant lot smaller than one acre or on a platted lot. Exactly one acre is not below that acreage threshold, but that fact alone is not occupancy permission. The selected checker requires the township to confirm an unplatted ordinary route and leaves uncertain plat classification for review.
Non-waterfront residential storage uses side or rear yards
Under section 3.7B1, recreational-equipment storage on non-waterfront R-1, R-2 and R-3 lots with a principal building is limited to side or rear yards. The Zoning Administrator may authorize another yard if side/rear access is unavailable. The selected front-yard check excludes that authorization and does not assume every driveway is a front yard.
Waterfront and vacant-lot storage are different
On waterfront lots the provision permits only non-motorized watercraft in the front waterfront yard and places other recreational equipment in side or rear yards. Section 3.7B2 restricts storage on lots without a permanent principal building unless immediately contiguous to land with a principal building under the same ownership; district setbacks still apply. These alternative routes are described, not converted into broad checker permission.
Construction dwelling use is a separate permit process
Section 3.12 addresses an owner’s temporary dwelling during actual dwelling construction. It has a zoning-permit process, a one-unit condition, health-approved facilities before occupancy, time limits and removal requirements; a discretionary extension is separately provided. The ordinary 180-day checker excludes this process rather than overriding a construction approval.
Current text and bounded later review
The published ordinance states adoption February 17, publication February 25 and effectiveness March 4, 2026. The current zoning page links it and labels the separate nuisance document as a draft. The published March–September board and related planning records did not identify a replacement of the selected RV provisions. A proposed RV park discussed in April/May was a specific application, not an adopted general RV amendment. Later unlisted enactments and parcel approvals still require confirmation.
