Board grants temporary street-parking permit for homeowner’s enclosed trailer until Sept. 30
Summary
The Board of Public Safety approved a temporary parking permit allowing Casey Joe Skelton to park one enclosed trailer on the street near his home through Sept. 30, 2025, subject to review if safety issues arise.
The City of Evansville Board of Public Safety on a voice vote approved a temporary street-parking permit for one enclosed trailer owned by resident Casey Joe Skelton, setting the permit to expire Sept. 30, 2025.
Skelton told the board the trailer (16 feet by 8.5 feet, enclosed) is being used to store tools for home remodeling and that a neighbor who also had a trailer would be moving it soon. Board members and staff discussed sight-line and school safety concerns — members said the trailer currently partially obscures visibility on a side street used by school buses and children. After discussion the board shortened Skelton’s requested permit period (the applicant initially asked for a period into December 2025) and approved the permit through Sept. 30; members said Skelton could return to the board to request an extension if needed.
Board members asked whether Skelton could instead park on a concrete pad in the rear of the property; Skelton said the side street is too narrow to back the trailer into that area without striking a light pole. Skelton said he hopes to resolve the issue by completing an underground survey and, if feasible, creating a parking cut-in at the rear of the lot before the permit expires.
The board and staff emphasized that only trailers with individual permits are allowed on the street beyond time limits set in city code and that each person providing a reason for extended parking must secure a permit. The board’s motion to grant the permit was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
