for a permit and payment of the fee therefor, which permit shall be
known as a "temporary parking permit."

[Amended 3-11-2008 by Ord. No. 08-01]
A person desiring a temporary permit for parking
an automobile trailer, as provided under § 36-42.2[1] of the Pilesgrove Township Code on any privately owned
property shall secure written permission therefor from the owner of
the land and submit the same to the Building Inspector of the Township,
together with a fee of $10 per month for the permit, and the Building
Inspector, if the trailer accommodations contain proper domestic water
services and waste disposal units, shall issue a permit for a period
not exceeding the period permissible under § 36-42.2 of
the Pilesgrove Township Code.[2] No renewal permit may be issued for the same trailer at
the same location for a period of at least six weeks after termination
of the original permit. On payment of the required $10 monthly fee,
repetitive monthly renewals of temporary trailer permits may occur
on application to the Pilesgrove Zoning Officer prior to the expiration
of a temporary permit, provided the property has a residential or
commercial use that has been substantially damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty loss. Permission for renewal of a temporary
trailer permit is conditioned upon the applicant providing evidence
deemed credible, in the sole discretion of the Zoning Officer, that
a casualty insurance claim is pending concerning the property and
that the insurance proceeds shall fund rehabilitation or replacement
of the principal residential structure. Permission for renewal of
a temporary trailer permit is also conditioned upon the applicant
posting a bond that is deemed sufficient by the Solicitor of Pilesgrove
as to form, substance and amount, provided it is irrevocably pledged
to fund the entirety of demolition of the fire damaged building, removal
of all construction debris and removal of the trailer that is the
subject of the permit.[3]
Any person found guilty of violating any of
the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be
subject to a fine not exceeding $100 or imprisonment for a term not
exceeding 90 days, or both, and every day such violation exists shall
constitute a separate offense and be punishable as such hereunder.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent
with or contrary hereto are hereby repealed, except that nothing in
this chapter shall be interpreted so as to conflict with the State
Housing Law or state legislation regulating trailers or trailer camps.
