Outdoor storage and yard classification
The ordinary rule applies to single-family and two-family lots and allows no more than two outdoor RVs. Each is limited to 32 feet long, 10 feet high and 8 feet wide. Use a paved side or rear yard. For this section, a side or rear yard adjoining a public right-of-way counts as a front yard. Vacant lots have a separate rear-30-feet condition and are outside this checker branch.
Driveway preparation and special placements
A separate clause allows driveway cleaning, maintenance or preparation for no more than 72 hours. Do not treat it as routine storage or street parking. Village permission may resolve otherwise impossible placement caused by clearance or substantial trees, and a rear yard along a street has a separate six-foot screening and 30-foot placement provision. These paths require individual review rather than an automatic exception.
Sleeping, services and physical condition
Ordinary storage cannot become living or sleeping space or connect to gas, water, electricity or sanitary sewer. Temporary occupancy can be authorized by the Chief of Police, but this is not an automatic visitor allowance. Retain wheels and hitches, keep the unit readily movable, avoid unsafe conditions and right-of-way encroachment, and maintain adjacent ground free of weeds, debris and other stored goods. The propane clause uses permissive wording, so the checker does not silently rewrite it.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the parcel, vehicle classification, actual activity and any special approval with the municipal planning or zoning office. Ask the road authority separately about streets.
Use the Lindenhurst parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
