BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS
A portable container designed to assist with moving and/or
storage of household or commercial goods and materials, including,
but not limited to, portable on-demand storage devices ("PODS®") and similar containers.
No bulk storage container shall be placed or maintained by any private party in or on any Township property, street or right-of-way, unless an exemption shall be granted by the Chief of Police, subject to §
379-59 of this article.
No bulk storage container shall be placed or maintained within
the public right-of-way, unless it complies with the following provisions:
A. The Chief of Police may grant an exemption of the requirement that
all bulk storage containers must be located on private property if
the literal enforcement will exact undue hardship because of peculiar
conditions pertaining to the land in question, provided that such
exemption will not be contrary to the public interest.
B. In the event that the Chief of Police deems an exemption is necessary, a bulk storage container placed within the public right-of-way shall also comply with the requirements of §
379-28F(1) through
(3).
