A. No responsible party or person shall park, store, or place upon any public right of way or public property, or upon any private premises within the city of Chenoa, any motor vehicle, motorcycle, boat, house trailer, or tractor trailer or new or used parts of junk therefrom, unless the same is wholly contained within a fully enclosed building and does not violate any zoning or building laws of the city of Chenoa, county of McLean, or state of Illinois, except for the following:
1. Duly licensed and operable vehicles or trailers with substantially all main component parts attached.
2. Vehicles or trailers that are temporarily inoperable, because of minor mechanical failure, but which are not, in any manner, dismantled and have substantially all main component parts attached, which may remain upon such private property for a period not to exceed seven (7) days.
B. No repairing, redesigning, modifying or dismantling work or operations shall be allowed upon any vehicle or trailer or parts thereof upon any public right of way or public property or on any private property for a period in excess of twenty four (24) hours except:
1. Such as shall be accomplished within fully enclosed buildings;
2. Such as will not constitute a nuisance or annoyance to adjoining property owners or occupants; and
3. Such as does not violate any provision of the zoning ordinance of the city of Chenoa, Illinois.
Any such work within such twenty four (24) hour period heretofore allowed shall not, however, consist of any major repair, redesigning, modifying or dismantling work, but only such occasional minor work as may frequently be required to maintain a vehicle or trailer or parts thereof in normal operating condition. Nothing herein contained shall be constructed to permit the parking and/or repair or maintenance on said vehicles in any front yard or side yard.
C. In the event the foregoing regulations create any special or peculiar hardship beyond the control of the particular violator thereof because of unforeseen circumstances, the city of Chenoa is hereby given the authority to grant permission to any applicant to operate contrary to the provisions hereof for a limited period of time not to exceed seven (7) days provided no adjoining property owner or occupant is unreasonably, adversely affected thereby and the spirit and purpose of this chapter are still substantially observed.
