ARUNDEL, Maine — A proposed ordinance to regulate the use of recreational vehicles — such as camper trailers — will go to town voters in November.
The Board of Selectmen voted 4-1 in favor of the proposed ordinance being placed on the November ballot at its meeting on Monday evening.

The ordinance, which is being referred to as the Temporary Occupancy Ordinance, was difficult to draft, officials said. After receiving a complaint of a resident occupying a camper trailer and disposing of waste on the property, officials realized that there was no ordinance in place that prevented an individual from living in a recreational vehicle on a property.

Selectmen discussed whether or not the ordinance was worth the cost of placing it on the ballot, after having received only one complaint.
