Planning Commission approves revision to travel-trailer ordinance, imposes penalties for violations
Summary
Ballard’s Planning Commission approved changes to Title 15.11.210 to regulate travel trailers, truck campers and motor homes, establishing a 30-day remedy period, Class C misdemeanor charges for uncorrected violations, up to $700 fine and up to 90 days jail, with enforcement assigned to Uintah County law enforcement.
The Ballard Planning Commission on Feb. 3 voted unanimously to approve revisions to Title 15.11.210, the city’s travel-trailer ordinance, adding explicit penalties for owners and property owners who allow violations.
Chairman Joe Allred introduced the proposed changes and described the ordinance’s scope: it governs ownership and occupation of travel trailers, truck campers and motor homes and makes both the occupant/owner and any property owner who allows a violation potentially subject to enforcement. The amendment sets a 30-day period to cure violations after notice; if the violation is not remedied within 30 days the offense is a Class C misdemeanor carrying a maximum fine of $700 and up to 90 days in jail. The ordinance also assigns enforcement responsibilities to Uintah County law enforcement.
Board Member Steve Collins moved to approve the revision; Kay Burgess seconded. The motion carried with all members voting in favor. The Planning Commission approved the change as recorded in the minutes; the revision will move forward in the city’s adoption process.
