Full Breakdown
111 opens with a townwide ban on parking or storing a mobile home or travel trailer anywhere in Rose Hill for any purpose whatsoever, subject only to the exceptions the section then lists. On a lot other than a licensed mobile home park, division (C) requires a storing permit from the Administrative Official for any mobile home parked or stored longer than 48 hours. 002, get a separate and more detailed rule: house and camping trailers must be stored in a garage, a carport, or the rear or side yard, while pick-up coaches and motor homes are additionally allowed to park in the driveway, but neither type may occupy any other part of the required front yard.
None of the travel trailer's own facilities may be used for human or animal occupancy while it sits in storage. A mobile home parked within a licensed mobile home park is exempt from the permit rule but must carry either a label of compliance, a Town Administrator certificate of compliance, or DMV documentation showing manufacture before September 1, 1971. The section separately does not block a licensed dealer from displaying mobile homes or trailers for sale on a properly zoned sales lot, provided no living quarters are maintained in them.
Rose Hill's code does not name boats among the vehicles this section restricts; boat storage in a residential yard is not separately addressed in the town's code. 999 as a misdemeanor with a fine up to $50 and up to 30 days imprisonment, each day of continuing violation a separate offense.
Violations & Fines
Storing a travel trailer or motor home outside the garage, carport, side/rear yard, or (for motor homes and pick-up coaches) the driveway violates § 154.111, as does keeping a mobile home on a lot longer than 48 hours without a storing permit from the Administrative Official. A conviction under § 154.999 carries a fine up to $50 and up to 30 days imprisonment, each day a separate offense.
