New Glarus RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Side and rear yards share the five-foot rule | Section 305-47B(2) permits outdoor side or rear storage at least five feet from the lot line. Both yard categories are named; ordinary front lawn is not substituted for them. The checker uses actual side/rear location values and keeps enclosed storage outside its outdoor margin check. |
| The driveway is a conditional fallback | Section 305-47B(3) requires hard surface or well-drained gravel, unavailable yard space or reasonable access, no possible indoor parking, and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have rear access and a fence does not necessarily prevent reasonable access. All these conditions must be distinguished. |
| Curb distance and public overhang are independent | The RV body must remain at least fifteen feet from any curb face, and no part may extend over sidewalk or public right-of-way. Meeting a five-foot neighboring lot-line margin does not satisfy these independent boundaries. |
| Sleeping has a fourteen-day annual limit | Section 305-47B(6)(a) permits overnight sleeping for no more than fourteen days in a calendar year as an exception to dwelling use. The selected text does not contain the cooking ban or resident-ownership condition found in some other local codes; neither is invented here. This is still not complete accommodation permission. |
Confirm the village, district and RV definition
This guide concerns New Glarus Village, Wisconsin. Section 305-47 covers private RV storage in residential and commercial districts. It lists motorhomes, camping trailers, pickup coaches and converted vans; the ten-to-thirty-six-foot and eight-foot width limits apply specifically to travel trailers. Enclosed conforming structures and active loading are separate routes.
Side and rear yards share the five-foot rule
Section 305-47B(2) permits outdoor side or rear storage at least five feet from the lot line. Both yard categories are named; ordinary front lawn is not substituted for them. The checker uses actual side/rear location values and keeps enclosed storage outside its outdoor margin check.
The driveway is a conditional fallback
Section 305-47B(3) requires hard surface or well-drained gravel, unavailable yard space or reasonable access, no possible indoor parking, and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have rear access and a fence does not necessarily prevent reasonable access. All these conditions must be distinguished.
Curb distance and public overhang are independent
The RV body must remain at least fifteen feet from any curb face, and no part may extend over sidewalk or public right-of-way. Meeting a five-foot neighboring lot-line margin does not satisfy these independent boundaries.
Sleeping has a fourteen-day annual limit
Section 305-47B(6)(a) permits overnight sleeping for no more than fourteen days in a calendar year as an exception to dwelling use. The selected text does not contain the cooking ban or resident-ownership condition found in some other local codes; neither is invented here. This is still not complete accommodation permission.
Permanent hookups differ from temporary electricity and loading
Section 305-47B(6)(b) prohibits permanent sewer, water or electricity connections while separately allowing temporary electricity for charging and other purposes. B(7) allows anywhere-on-premises active loading or unloading with necessary electricity or propane. The checker excludes that preparation route before ordinary placement rules. Unrelated stored goods or equipment are barred except items part of the unit or essential for immediate use.
All six newer enacted originals were examined
The official listing has six later ordinances, 26-03 through 26-08. They address alcohol/open-container language, C-1 lot area per dwelling, bid procedures, play vehicles, juvenile tobacco and public unregistered vehicles. The last one changes public-property vehicle enforcement and is not private-storage permission. None rewrites selected Section 305-47. Streets and any special district approval remain separately unresolved.
