Outdoor Parking of Recreational Equipment/Vehicle and/or Construction/Commercial Related Vehicles

Residents are reminded that the parking of recreational vehicles, (i.e. boats, RV’s, jet skis) or commercially owned vehicles on private property must be on a paved surface.  It also must not be parked within the front, side or rear yard setback.

Recreational/commercial vehicles must also be screened from the public right-of-way and adjacent property.  Compliance with these regulations will allow for the maintenance of property values and community aesthetics.
