A. Nuisance Declared: The accumulation or storage of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, unlicensed or inoperative vehicles or junk on private or public property is found to create a condition tending to reduce the value of private property, to promote blight and deterioration, to invite plundering, to create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, to create a harborage for insects, rodents, skunks and other vermin and to be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. Therefore, the presence of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles, (except where such vehicles are permitted exceptions), more than two (2) unlicensed vehicles upon private property, or four (4) unlicensed vehicles upon commercial property, or junk on private or public property, is declared to constitute a public nuisance which may be abated or cited in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter.
B. Exceptions:
1. Wood piles that are stacked in a neat and orderly fashion shall not be construed to be nuisances; and
2. Recreational use vehicles which are in an operable condition, which are not required to be licensed by the State to operate, and, which vehicles take the form of nonstreet legal dirt motorcycles, ATVs, stock cars and snowmobiles, shall not be construed to be nuisances solely because they are unlicensed. This exception, however, does not authorize the operation of "recreational vehicles" on the streets, alleys and roadways of the Town unless licensed by the State. (Ord. 93-08, 10-19-1993)
