Dickinson commissioners have received complaints about campers parked on streets. To alleviate the problem, they may revise the rules.

A housing crunch driven largely by an oil boom has brought more campers to Dickinson streets.

However, it’s also against rules to park a camper on the lawn, unless it’s on concrete or gravel, City Planner Ed Courton said, though rules are more lenient if it’s in a backyard.

Also, in Dickinson news: an increase in building permits:

Dickinson’s recent growth may already be challenging the city’s resources, but officials said Tuesday that building permit numbers have increased significantly and the city could see more growth before the end of the year.

“It really puts a lot of pressure on city staff to keep up with growth,” Dickinson Mayor Dennis Johnson said. “While we welcome the growth it is a challenge to manage it.”

Through September, the city has issued more than $97 million worth of building permits. During the same period last year, that value stood at nearly $44 million. Last month alone saw the issuance of more than $39.32 million in permits.
