§ 90.18 PRE-TOWING NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
   (A)   Except as set forth in § 90.19, an abandoned, nuisance or junked vehicle which is to be removed shall be towed only after notice to the registered owner or person entitled to possession of the vehicle is given. This may be by certified mail, by posting, or by personal service of notice or letter to the owner of real property by a Town Police Officer. In the case of a nuisance vehicle or a junked motor vehicle, if the names and mailing addresses of the registered owner or person entitled to possession of the vehicle, or the owner or lessee, or occupant of the real property upon which the vehicle is located can be ascertained in the exercise of reasonable diligence, the notice shall be given by first class certified mail, return receipt requested. The person who mails the notice(s) shall retain a written record to show the name(s) and address(es) to which the notices were mailed, and the date mailed to each. If such names and addresses cannot be ascertained or if the vehicle removed is an abandoned vehicle, notice shall be given by affixing on the windshield or some other conspicuous place on the vehicle a notice indicating that the vehicle will be removed by the town on a specified date (no sooner than seven days after the notice is affixed). The notice shall state that the vehicle will be removed by the town on a specified date, no sooner than seven days after the notice is affixed or mailed, unless the vehicle is moved by the owner or legal possessor prior to that time.
   (B)   With respect to abandoned vehicles on private property, nuisance vehicles, and junked motor vehicles to which notice is required to be given, if the registered owner or person entitled to possession does not remove the vehicle but chooses to appeal the determination that the vehicle is abandoned, a nuisance vehicle or in the case of a junked motor vehicle that the aesthetic benefits of removing the vehicle outweigh the burdens, such appeal shall be made to the Board of Commissioners, in writing, heard at the next regularly scheduled Commissioners' meeting, and further proceedings to remove the vehicle shall be stayed until the appeal is heard and decided.
