A police request comes before driveway parking
Before stopping, parking or leaving an RV on a residential driveway, a written or telephone request identifying the address must be made to Village Police. The person parking and a separate resident share responsibility. The request is deemed approved unless the requester or resident is notified otherwise. Police may revoke it in writing for nuisance, disrepair, inoperability or a violation.
One day at a time, at most 14 separate days
Temporary parking is for loading, unloading, cleaning or maintenance, not more than one 24-hour day per incidence. Even a 15-minute visit counts as a day. At most 14 separate days are allowed in a calendar year, with no combining or banking. Only one RV may be present unless it tows another RV; the towing exception requires individual review here.
Preparation has specific activity restrictions
Slide-outs and awnings must not interfere with safe vehicle or pedestrian travel. Cords, hoses and cables may not cross a street or sidewalk, even overhead. Generators and other noise-generating equipment are prohibited from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Commercial activity and rental are barred in residential districts. Public-sewer hookups and dumping are barred except at a lawful designated dump station, and harmful substances may not leak onto public rights-of-way.
Longer storage belongs in an enclosed garage
Section 10-6-10 sends temporary residential RV parking back to section 6-4-3. Longer-term RV parking and storage in residential districts must be within a completely enclosed garage. Separate boat-storage and construction-shelter provisions do not authorize ordinary camper storage in a driveway and are excluded from this checker.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the actual boundary, site conditions, permit dates and current requirements with the relevant municipal official before acting. Administrative screening of the cited local provisions only. Not a permit, legal opinion, safety assurance or complete land-use approval.
Use the South Barrington parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
