Burt Township (Cheboygan County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Short-term guests: 30 consecutive days | Section 6.06(3) provides a one-unit short-term recreational route, including sleeping or cooking, for no more than 30 consecutive days in a calendar year. The checker does not invent a cumulative annual limit or a reset rule. |
| Same lot, dwelling and relationship | The short-term unit must be on a lot with an existing single-family dwelling. Occupants must be guests or immediate family of the property owner who occupies that dwelling. Other arrangements need review of another lawful route rather than assuming this guest exception applies. |
| Side or rear yard and district setbacks | The selected short-term route requires the side or rear yard and compliance with applicable underlying-district setbacks and dimensional standards. A driveway label does not itself prove the legal yard. Passing these selected questions is not complete placement approval. |
| Permit distinction | Section 6.06(3)(D) says no zoning permit is required for the short-term route. By contrast, principal recreational use under 6.06(2) requires a separate zoning permit for each unit and has different acreage, duration, waterfront and utilities provisions. The checker does not merge these alternatives. |

Short-term guests: 30 consecutive days
Section 6.06(3) provides a one-unit short-term recreational route, including sleeping or cooking, for no more than 30 consecutive days in a calendar year. The checker does not invent a cumulative annual limit or a reset rule.
Same lot, dwelling and relationship
The short-term unit must be on a lot with an existing single-family dwelling. Occupants must be guests or immediate family of the property owner who occupies that dwelling. Other arrangements need review of another lawful route rather than assuming this guest exception applies.
Side or rear yard and district setbacks
The selected short-term route requires the side or rear yard and compliance with applicable underlying-district setbacks and dimensional standards. A driveway label does not itself prove the legal yard. Passing these selected questions is not complete placement approval.
Permit distinction
Section 6.06(3)(D) says no zoning permit is required for the short-term route. By contrast, principal recreational use under 6.06(2) requires a separate zoning permit for each unit and has different acreage, duration, waterfront and utilities provisions. The checker does not merge these alternatives.
Storage and principal use remain separate
Section 6.06(1) separately addresses unoccupied storage, including an existing dwelling or approved accessory dwelling, additional-unit enclosure/screening, and certain vacant lots outside the Waterfront Residential District. Section 6.06(2) addresses principal use, including 180 consecutive days, unit/acreage tiers, 75-foot identified-water setbacks and approved electrical/water/septic arrangements. These broader routes are not automatically decided by this short-term checker.
