(A) Declaration of policy. The Town Council hereby declares that the uncontrolled accumulation of scrap materials on any premises constitutes a danger to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the town in that the accumulations can furnish shelter and breeding places for vermin, present physical dangers to the safety and well-being of children and other citizens, pose a danger of fire and depreciate property values or cause a loss of business by detracting from the appearance and character of residential and commercial neighborhoods.
(Prior Code, § 20.5-25)
(B) Accumulations. No person may cause, suffer or permit scrap materials to accumulate or remain on premises under his or her control unless the scrap materials are:
(1) Surrounded by a fence of sufficient height, strength and construction to deny persons, especially small children, access from and to shield neighboring properties from the view of them; or
(2) Are so stored within a structure or within a container outside of a structure as to minimize substantially the dangers set forth in division (A) above.
(Prior Code, § 20.5-26)
