UNION -- The town board is exploring the possibility of limiting where and how long recreational vehicles, or RVs, can be parked in the town.
Town officials have recently received a rash of calls from people complaining about neighbors parking RVs in residential driveways for extended periods of time.
Councilwoman Rose Sotak said at a recent work session that one Union resident complained, "I don't live in a campground."
Sotak said she is not surprised by the complaints.
"I drive by a couple, and I can understand why some people are calling. Some of these are really, really big," Sotak said.
The town currently has no restrictions on RVs, although boats must be 10 feet from property lines, said Steve Rafferty, Union code enforcement official.
Board members discussed limiting how long RVs could be parked in certain areas of the town, but made no formal decision.
Councilman Michael Arcangeli suggested the town ask people to move RVs if they get complaints.
The board also discussed restricting the length of time portable-on-demand storage (PODS) could be on a property. A resident would have to get a permit to build a storage shed, but does not currently need a permit to use PODS, Rafferty said.
Paul Hudson, Union's director of community development, suggested changing town policy to require residents to buy a 30-day permit in order to place PODS on their property. No formal decision was made, however, at the work session.
