§ 60-211. Truck and equipment parking.  


Latest version.
  • After the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, it shall be unlawful for the owner, tenant, or lessee to permit or allow the open storage or parking, either day or night, on any lot, parcel, or tract of land in a residential district or in the residential area of any other district, or on any public street, semi-trucks and commercial trailers, mobile homes, tractors, bulldozers, earth carriers, drag lines, cranes and/or any other equipment or machinery. It is provided, however, that the owner, tenant, or lessee of a farm may openly store the machinery and equipment used on his farm; and it is further provided that equipment necessary to be parked overnight on a lot, parcel, or trace of land during the construction work thereon shall be excepted from this restriction. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the owner or occupant of a residential parcel from parking one over the road semi-tractor in a garage or other approved designated parking area beyond the front yard setback located upon such parcel if the owner or occupant is engaged or employed in the operation of such vehicle; and provided, further, that said owner or occupant shall not cause such vehicle to idle for more than 15 minutes prior to or after operating such vehicle. Violations shall be considered a municipal civil infraction and shall be subject to the fines and penalties enumerated in chapter 30. This shall not apply to pickup or panel trucks.
