Supervisors begin draft ordinance to regulate Conex storage containers
Summary
Board reviewed sample ordinances for Conex (storage) containers and directed the secretary to draft regulations limiting containers to storage-only (no plumbing), specifying paint colors, setbacks, permitting and inspections, and prohibiting grandfathering of existing containers.
The West Branch board reviewed samples of ordinances and permitting guidelines for Conex storage containers and tabled the matter for further discussion. The secretary was instructed to begin compiling a draft ordinance containing specific provisions: storage only (no plumbing), paint color restrictions, placement setbacks, a prohibition on grandfathering existing containers, and inspection/permit procedures for temporary and long-term storage use.
The minutes list both temporary placement rules (permits for construction use) and inspection pathways for individuals seeking long-term use of containers. The board did not adopt a final ordinance at this meeting; the item was tabled pending solicitor review and further drafting by the secretary.
