Recreational vehicles may be parked in the front yard on a paved driveway during the normal recreational season (April 1 to November 1), such parking not to exceed thirty days at any one time. This may include a visitor's recreational vehicle, the parking of which shall not exceed five days at any one time. A smaller van- type recreational vehicle that is being used as a second personal vehicle is exempt.
