As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any motor vehicle or motor-drawn vehicle, as those terms
are defined in and by N.J.S.A. 39:1-1, including a trailer, camper
or other transportable unit that is so designed, constructed, reconstructed,
or added to by means of portable accessories or otherwise that is
equipped to serve as temporary or permanent living quarters for one
or more persons for purposes of recreation, camping, travel, and otherwise.
A.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park overnight, or to permit
the parking overnight, of any recreational vehicle on any public highway,
park, or other public place. For purposes of this subsection, between
the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. are deemed overnight.
B.
No occupied recreational vehicle shall be parked on any site, lot,
field, or tract of land within the Borough not specifically licensed
for that purpose, unless a permit for such parking is obtained as
hereinafter provided.
The operator of a recreational vehicle may make application
to the Chief of Police for a permit to park his/her recreational vehicle
on the premises of any occupied dwelling, provided that such recreational
vehicle is the only recreational vehicle on said premises, and provided
that such application is made within 48 hours after arrival. Such
permit, when granted, shall limit the time of parking to a period
not longer than six weeks from the time of application therefor. Not
more than one such permit shall be issued to any one occupied recreational
vehicle owner, operator, or occupant in any twelve-month period. No
permit shall be granted unless the parking is without charge therefor.
The application for a permit shall contain a statement showing
the street number or other location of the occupied dwelling where
the occupied recreational vehicle is parked or is to be parked, the
name of the occupant in control of said dwelling and his/her endorsement
granting permission for such parking, the name and address of the
occupants of such recreational vehicle, the license numbers of each
unit of the recreational vehicle, the state issuing such license,
and a statement indicating the location at which such recreational
vehicle last parked, including the state, city, town, or village where
such parking occurred.
A copy of the permit shall be posted in or on the recreational
vehicle for which it was issued in such a manner as to be readily
noticeable at all times.
All excreta and liquid waste from recreational vehicles shall
be collected in proper receptacles and emptied into suitable sewer-connected
fixtures. Spilling or draining of any wastewater whatsoever upon the
ground or upon paved areas is prohibited.
No owner, operator, or occupant of any recreational vehicle
shall remove the wheels or tires or cause the same to be removed from
any such occupied recreational vehicle parked within the borough except
for the purpose of repair, nor in any manner deflate or cause to be
deflated the tires on the wheels of such vehicle except for the purpose
of repair, nor in any manner elevate, block, or stabilize said vehicle
other than with jacks designed, provided, and intended for that purpose.
No recreational vehicle parked within the Borough shall at any
time be so occupied for sleeping purposes as to overcrowd such vehicle
with more persons than the number for which it is designed and arranged.
