Ordinary residential storage
Section 150.20 requires equipment outside a carport or garage to be behind the front building line, not in the front yard or front of the house. A corner-lot street-side setback cannot be used. All covered equipment must remain operable, in good repair and licensed under state law. Residential lots have a maximum eight-foot width and thirty-foot overall length.
Front-driveway and access exceptions
Front-driveway loading and unloading is limited to 48 hours. Mounted pickup campers on licensed operable trucks rated no more than three-quarter ton and operable motorized camper-type vehicles licensed as house vehicles have a separate driveway provision. Where both rear access and rear space are unavailable, equipment may be forward as close as possible to the building line without eliminating both required parking spaces. These routes need separate confirmation and are not automated.
Occupancy and utilities
Living quarters or sleeping accommodations cannot exceed three days in any 30-day period. Fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary-sewer connections are not permitted. The City Manager may grant time extensions on written request. Three days or less is a ceiling, not a general camping approval.
Other special routes
The City Manager may temporarily permit front-yard sale, resale or repair for no more than 14 days in any 30-day period. Commercial construction trailers, equipment without wheels, unenclosed boats and unmounted campers have separate provisions. Prior-owned nonconforming equipment receives a 30-day compliance notice and may obtain up to a 90-day extension when timely requested in writing.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact proposal with the municipality. This is limited administrative screening, not a permit or complete legal approval. No automatic driveway/access, City Manager, nonconforming, commercial-trailer, enclosed or utility approval.
Use the Forest Park parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
