§ 62-2125. Temporary construction trailer or structure.

(a)

Any person may obtain a permit from the building official for the construction and use of a temporary structure to be used as a construction shed and toolhouse for contractors and construction workers on the premises. Such temporary structure shall not be erected prior to the issuance of a building permit for the applicable construction, and shall be immediately removed upon the expiration of the building permit or the occupancy of the completed structure, or upon completion of the structure, or upon the expiration of a period of one year from the date of issuance of the applicable building permit, whichever event occurs first. The temporary construction structure may consist of a trailer; provided, however, that the axles and wheels shall not be removed. Neither a construction structure nor a construction trailer shall be used as a residence or as a live-in facility. The person applying for the permit shall designate the exact location of the temporary construction structure or trailer, and the building official shall have the authority to designate the exact location where the construction structure shall be located. It shall be a violation of this section for the temporary construction structure or trailer to be located at a place on the property other than that designated and approved by the building official.

(b)

Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, any person may obtain a permit from the building official for a temporary construction trailer or structure to be used as a construction shed and toolhouse for contractors and construction workers on the premises, prior to the issuance of any building permits, for the following projects and under the following conditions:

(1)

For a single-family residential subdivision with a minimum site size of ten acres.

(2)

For a multifamily, tourist, commercial or industrial site development on a minimum of one acre.

(3)

For all of the projects enumerated in subsections (1) and (2) of this subsection, site plan approval must be obtained within 30 days of locating the structure or trailer on the property, or plat approval must be obtained, as well as construction permits issued by the county engineer for the project, within 30 days of locating the structure or trailer on the property. All other provisions of subsection (a) of this section concerning the time limit for the use of the structure or trailer, the location of the structure or trailer, the allowed use of the structure or trailer, and the prohibition against removing wheels and axles are applicable to structures or trailers permitted under this subsection.
