Unoccupied public parking
Section 69.12(1) prohibits boat trailers, utility trailers and unoccupied motor homes, travel trailers or camping trailers on public streets, alleys or places for more than 48 hours. This is not a guarantee that shorter parking is lawful.
Occupied public stays need Council review
The Council may permit emergency or temporary occupied parking at designated public or private locations for three days, with up to three additional days on reapplication. Actual authorization and other traffic restrictions remain necessary; the checker does not infer approval.
Private-property guest stays
Section 69.12(2) limits occupancy to 14 continuous days and 28 total days per calendar year on already developed property. Only one occupied RV and one tent may be on a residential lot at once. The owner must notify the Clerk of the occupancy period; complaints may lead the City to restrict occupancy.
License plates and storage
Section 69.12(4) requires completely enclosed-building storage for motor vehicles and trailers without current plates when parked or stored on a lot for more than 48 hours. Current plates alone do not approve the lot.
Business and utilities
RVs may not be used for business purposes under §69.12(3). No utility connection permission is established by these parking clauses.
