Does the Easthampton rule cover a motorhome?
Table 5-1, Accessory Uses item 5 covers a trailer, unregistered automobile or boat. Section 2.1 defines trailer as a wheeled vehicle or object without motive power of its own, drawn by or used with a motor vehicle. Do not apply that trailer definition automatically to a self-propelled RV.
Where can a covered trailer be stored?
The table marks this accessory storage use P in its listed districts, subject to all other ordinance provisions under §5.2. Its location condition says the item shall either be stored with a principal or accessory building or be at least 25 feet from every lot line and not within the side yards. The published word is “with.” Ask zoning staff how the building alternative applies rather than assuming that merely parking next to a building satisfies it.
How many trailers or boats may the lot contain?
The maximum is two of the listed trailers, unregistered automobiles or boats per lot. Do not treat each category as receiving its own two-item allowance. A driveway is not a stated exception to the placement condition.
Can someone sleep in a stored trailer?
The same storage row prohibits use for dwelling or sleeping purposes. It does not authorize guest camping, commercial campground use, street parking, repairs or hookups. A separate motorhome determination is needed because this row does not expressly classify self-propelled RVs.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City of Easthampton zoning or building staff about the exact parcel, vehicle classification, approvals and later amendments. Ask police about the specific street and temporary restrictions. Check lease, HOA and deed restrictions separately.
Use the Easthampton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
