Mahoning Township is contemplating regulations that would govern the parking and use of recreational vehicles.

Township supervisors on Wednesday tabled action on an RV ordinance:

Based on the sample ordinance under consideration:

• A large vehicle may be allowed to be stored, unoccupied, upon private property including but not limited to storage on private roads owned by or leased to the owner of such large vehicle.

• All such stored large vehicles would need to be located on the side or rear of the property on a crushed stone, black top or concrete surface capable of supporting the vehicle.

• All parking areas and access roads or areas that are created or expanded after the possible adoption of this ordinance would have to be constructed of a hard, homogeneous, all-weather surface such as cement or asphalt or equivalent.

• Would have to be graded to provide convenient vehicular access and proper drainage.

• Would have to be maintained in good and usable condition.

• All existing parking areas and access roads or areas would have to be constructed and maintained with an aggregate base, cement or asphalt all-weather surface.

• The parking of large vehicles on any surface or the accessing of parking areas across any surface that is not constructed in accordance with these regulations would be strictly prohibited.

• It would be unlawful for any RV to be occupied for living purposes within the township, whether located on a public street, public property or private property.
