Outdoor storage location
Section 14-2218(3) allows covered major recreational equipment in a carport, enclosed building or behind the front building line, but not within public right-of-way. This checker addresses the ordinary outdoor rear-of-line route only; Residential Forest and commercial/industrial districts have separate rules.

Side and rear setbacks
Outdoor rear-of-line storage requires at least ten feet from side and rear property lines. A five-foot reduction requires an established and maintained Article 23 screen planting between the equipment and adjacent lines. The definition requires a mixed landscaped planting established at least six feet high and three feet wide, with regularly spaced trees and shrubs forming a moderately dense, pervious screen; a bare fence is not automatically that planting. Associated planting permit requirements need local confirmation.

Loading and occupancy
Solely for loading/unloading, covered equipment may be anywhere on the lot for no more than 24 hours. It cannot be used for permanent residence or other living, sleeping or housekeeping while parked/stored. Section 14-2217 separately regulates unlicensed/uninspected vehicles, with narrow exceptions; this checker assumes a currently licensed and inspected RV.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No Residential Forest, commercial/industrial, carport, license exception or permit determination.
Use the Cornwall parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
