[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Hudson 10-6-2015. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The term "temporary storage container" shall be defined as a
transportable, enclosed, box-like container that is typically rented
to property owners or occupants of property, for their temporary use.
Temporary storage containers include, but are not limited to, containers
such as semitrailers, roll-off containers, slide-off containers, and
"piggyback" containers. A temporary storage container includes any
container intended for the purpose of storing personal property or
construction supplies that is intended to be filled, refilled, or
emptied while located outdoors on a property, and to be thereafter
removed from the property.
A.Â
Temporary storage containers shall not exceed a cumulative gross
floor area of 450 square feet and may not exceed 8Â 1/2 feet in
height. In no event shall there be more than two temporary storage
containers on any property at any time. Temporary storage containers
must be set back at least 20 feet from the front lot line. Temporary
storage containers must also be set back at least five feet from all
other lot lines, the public right-of-way and any public sidewalk.
Additionally, any temporary storage containers must be a minimum of
five feet away from any structures on the property. Temporary storage
containers shall not be located in any required open space or in any
location that interferes with any vehicular and/or pedestrian circulation.
Temporary storage containers shall also be located in accordance with
all applicable building and fire code regulations for the purpose
of ensuring safe ingress and egress to dwellings, access to utility
shutoff valves, and fire protection.
B.Â
The Building Inspector shall have the discretion to further restrict
the placement of any temporary storage container on a property so
as to prevent any unreasonable deprivation of light, air, or reasonable
use to any adjoining property. The Building Inspector is hereby authorized,
in the exercise of reasonable discretion, to revoke any permit issued
hereunder if, after due investigation, he/she deems that the holder
thereof has violated any provisions of this chapter, or that the temporary
storage container is being maintained in an unsafe manner or is being
maintained as a nuisance. Written notice of said revocation shall
be given, in person or delivered by US Mail to such person at the
address which appears on the records of the Building Department with
a copy sent to the property owner if applicable.

It shall be unlawful for any property owner or occupant to place,
keep, or maintain any temporary storage container on any property
without securing a permit.
[Amended 12-7-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-3]
Any property owner or occupant desiring a permit to place a
temporary storage container shall file an application with the Building
Inspector. The application must be approved by the Building Inspector.
A temporary storage container shall be permitted to remain on permitted
location for a maximum of 60 days. If the temporary storage container
is used in conjunction with a permitted construction project, it shall
be permitted to remain on a property for a time period up to six months.
In no event shall a temporary storage container remain on a property
for more than six months without agreement of the Town Board.
