Notwithstanding the provisions of § 8-1004, whenever off-street parking is not available or practicable, parking of construction vehicles as herein defined is permitted for the term and under the conditions set forth hereinafter. "Construction vehicles" are defined as vehicles or trailers being used in performing construction, remodeling, siding or the like. Such vehicles may include pickups, trucks, trailers detached from the towing vehicle provided the trailers do not exceed 30 feet in length, and vans. Such vehicles do not include, however, truck tractor or semi-trailers, but may include bumper-hitched or smaller fifth-wheel construction-type trailers not exceeding 30 feet in length. The following conditions apply to any parking under this section:
A. Parking is not allowed in "no parking" zones or any other prohibited area as set forth in city ordinance.
B. Vehicles and/or trailers must be properly licensed as required by the state of North Dakota.
C. A trailer disconnected from the towing vehicle must have a properly sized pad placed under the dolly or jack to avoid damage to the street.
D. Street parking will be allowed only if appropriate measures are taken to insure public safety including, but not limited to, diamond grade "conspicuity tape" around the entire perimeter of the trailer and/or equipment. Cones shall be used in advance of any trailer or equipment when work is in progress.
E. Parking of a vehicle or trailer shall not be allowed directly across the street from another parked vehicle or trailer.
F. There shall be no parking allowed which would be in violation of any other ordinance of the city of Fargo concerning parking regulations.
G. The owner's name, company name (if any), and phone number shall be legibly indicated on any trailer or construction vehicle.
H. Twenty-eight inch cones or barrels with high-intensity sheeting around the entire perimeter of the trailer and/or equipment may be substituted for the measures prescribed in subsection (D) above.
If the construction activity in which the vehicles are involved will take in excess of five days, however, a permit as referenced in § 8-1004 will be required.
