Parking of Recreational, Boating, and Camping Equipment on Residential Properties
After an extensive review and consideration of the rights and interests of all residents and property owners, as well as the overall aesthetics of the Village, the Village Council adopted Ordinance 2016-07 on September 8, 2016 approving Code revisions that clarified the regulations governing the parking and storage of boats, trailers, and recreational camping equipment in the R-1 and R-2 Zoning Districts and providing for continued enforcement through the code compliance process. The Ordinance created a Village registration process and a special exception process for those not meeting the maximum length and height requirements who can demonstrate that all non-dimensional requirements, including setbacks and screening are met.
On July 11, 2019, the Village Council adopted Ordinance 2019-06, which:
- Removed the requirement to register boats and recreational vehicles
- Clarified that chain link fencing with windscreens is not considered screening for boats and RVs
- Increased the grow in time for screening vegetation from 1 year to 2 years; clarifies that only boat hulls must be screened
- Allowed a special exception to be applied for when boat’s or RVs do not meet the rear setback
- Allowed homeowners to build one gate up to 20 feet in length that is 2 feet taller than the maximum allowed fencing height
The Village is now issuing citations for violations. If you have any questions about how to come into compliance with the Code, please see the below exhibit or contact the Community Development Department.
