No person shall park or locate any trailer, or allow it to stand,
upon any street, alley or other public place, or upon any tract of
land, occupied or unoccupied, within the Borough of Slippery Rock,
except as provided in this chapter.
A. No person
shall allow any trailer to stand upon any of the streets or alleys
in the Borough of Slippery Rock without being attached to a motor
vehicle.
B. No person
shall park any trailer, attached to a motor vehicle, on any street
or alley in the Borough for a period of time longer than that allowed
for the parking of vehicles upon such street or alley by the applicable
state laws and the ordinances of the Borough applicable to traffic
and parking. Any person who shall violate this subsection shall be
subject to the penalties specifically provided in such laws and ordinances,
as the case may be.
No person shall occupy any trailer in the Borough of Slippery
Rock for sleeping or living purposes except in a trailer park licensed
under this chapter, unless such trailer conforms to and complies with
all plumbing, electrical, sanitary and building ordinances of the
Borough applicable to stationary dwellings; provided, however, that
the parking or storing of no more than one unoccupied trailer in a
private garage, or in a rear yard, shall be permitted on condition
that no person uses such trailer for living or sleeping purposes while
such trailer is so parked or stored.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Council to enforce the provisions
of this chapter, and, to that end, it shall, from time to time, make
or cause to be made, by the police or any other Borough officer or
employee, an inspection to ascertain whether any trailer park continues
to operate strictly under the provisions of this chapter.
[Amended 12-7-1983 by Ord. No. 328]
