Section 3 writes its own construction rules in the Section 3 Ordinances, whose cover is dated September 2024. Chapter 6 lets the Building Inspector or the Council set permit conditions, and the list covers where portable toilets may stand and where contractor vehicles may park in the public right-of-way. Shower and restroom trailers are not named in the text, so the Permitting Coordinator is the person to ask whether a trailer falls under those conditions or under the dumpster and storage-unit rule.
- The Yards section bars a trailer outside a driveway for over 72 consecutive hours.
- A drainage plan accompanies the permit for any structure over 144 square feet.
- County construction hours run 7 am to 9 pm weekdays and start at 9 am weekends.
Get any answer about a trailer in writing from the Village and keep it with the county permit paperwork.
