Jurisdiction and research scope
Village of Dundee, Michigan, not Dundee Township. Unoccupied outdoor side-yard storage and loading/unloading at an ordinary single-family residential lot, plus the express public-right-of-way prohibition. Occupancy, inaccessible-yard driveway storage, multiple-family/manufactured-home communities, commercial property and major repairs are not evaluated.

Side-yard placement
Section 11.08(A) allows side-yard RV and recreational-equipment storage behind the front building line, with at least five feet from the side lot line and ten feet from an adjacent home. When abutting the garage, the home-separation clause calls only for the five-foot side setback. A corner lot must also use its legally established front building line under §2.02. These are different measurements, not a generic five-foot clearance rule.
Two units and resident registration
No more than two units may be outside a garage or similar structure. Equipment used together, such as a boat on its trailer, counts as one unit. Stored RVs need a current plate and must be registered to an occupant of the dwelling on the parcel. Major repair, refurbishing and reconstruction parking are prohibited in residential districts under subsection C.
Loading and public right-of-way
For loading or unloading, equipment may be anywhere in a driveway or parking area on residential premises for no more than 48 hours. Section 11.08(A)(6) separately prohibits parking or storage on any public right-of-way. A residential driveway may extend into that right-of-way, so the legal boundary matters.
Exceptions and other property types
The ordinance contains an inaccessible-side-or-rear-yard driveway alternative for one unit, with ten feet to the sidewalk and no visibility obstruction. That site-specific exception is not automated here. It also has a separate living/sleeping exception of at most two weeks, no more than four times a year, with prescribed placement and never in a right-of-way; this checker is unoccupied only. Multiple-family and manufactured-home communities need a Planning Commission-approved designated storage area, not required parking spaces.
Who to contact for your setup
Limited administrative screening only. The municipality must confirm classification, jurisdiction, parcel conditions and any required approvals. No permit, camping right or utility authorization is issued. The current Village ordinance index and its adopted zoning PDF were read November 7, 2026. The full §11.08, not search snippets, supplies this narrow screen. The index identifies the ordinance adopted November 1, 2022; this review does not imply every unrelated zoning requirement is evaluated.
Use the Dundee (Village) parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
