17.01.090 Temporary trailers.
A. Temporary trailers are portable trailers used for a construction office, sales office, or caretaker’s quarters during the course of construction of building(s) in a plat or site plan. Temporary trailers shall be located on a lot within the site plan or plat.
B. Prior to the use of a temporary trailer on any site, a temporary use permit shall be obtained. Temporary use permits are a Type I project permit application and shall be processed as set forth in GHMC Title 19.
C. Temporary trailers must have an approved sewage disposal system, water supply, and electrical connection.
D. A temporary use permit may be issued for a period not to exceed one year; provided, the department, for good cause shown, may renew the permit for an additional six-month period, at which time the temporary trailer and all appurtenances thereto shall be removed from the property.
E. Performance Assurance. Prior to the issuance of a temporary use permit under the provisions of this section, the property owner shall submit a performance surety bond equal to not less than the 110 percent of the cost to remove the temporary trailer and all appurtenances thereto. The performance surety bond shall be executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in the state in a form approved by the city attorney.
1. The property owner shall provide the city with a nonrevocable notarized agreement granting the city and its agents the right to enter the property and remove the temporary trailer and all appurtenances thereto.
2. If the property owner fails to remove the temporary trailer and appurtenances thereto and the city has incurred costs or expenses to remove such, the city shall call on the bond for reimbursement. If the amount of the bond is less than the cost and expense incurred by the city, the property owner shall be liable to the city for the difference. If the amount of the bond exceeds the cost and expense incurred by the city, the remainder shall be released. (Ord. 1194 § 4, 2010; Ord. 702 § 5, 1996).
