of loading and/or unloading, provided that such temporary parking
shall not exceed two hours in duration.
(2)
The temporary parking of recreational vehicles along a public
street immediately abutting the lot upon which the owner or operator
of the vehicle resides if such parking is solely for the purpose of
readying the recreational vehicle for a planned trip, outing or vacation,
including the loading and/or unloading of personal effects and/or
the preparation of the vehicle in connection with such planned trip,

Permits for nonmotorized dumpsters. A property owner or his/her contractor
engaging in any demolition/construction work on any property may obtain
a permit to place a nonmotorized dumpster for construction debris
on the shoulder of the immediately adjacent roadway for a period not
to exceed seven days where by reason of the nature of the demolition/construction
work or the physical characteristics of the property do not reasonably
permit the placement of the dumpster on site. Provided that the owner/contractor

shoulder as a condition of the permit issued pursuant to this section.
