ARUNDEL — With the summer season approaching and
camping season about to begin, members of the Board of Selectmen said
at a May 13 meeting that it had come to their attention that the town of
Arundel does not have an ordinance in place regarding camper trailers.
Camper trailers are considered mobile units, not permanent structures, and do not fall under the same ordinance regulations as permanent dwellings, officials said.
Town Manager Todd Shea said he had received a complaint regarding the disposal of waste from a current camper trailer owner onto the surface of a property. The disposal of waste poses an obvious health hazard to neighbors, Shea said.
In an attempt to address the complaint, Shea said he discovered that there were no town codes to enforce when it comes to a camper. Without a related ordinance in place, the town is unable to manage how long an individual or individuals can inhabit a camper, where the camper is placed on the property and how waste from the camper is disposed, he said.
