(A) (1) The outdoor storage of abandoned, junked, discarded and unlicensed motor vehicles upon privately owned properties within the village is dangerous, unsightly and a detriment to the preservation of public health, the protection of property and the safety and welfare of the residents of the village.
(2) The outdoor storage of abandoned, junked, discarded and unlicensed motor vehicles upon privately owned properties within the village constitutes an attractive nuisance to children and a peril to their safety.
(3) The storage constitutes a threat to the safety and welfare of the residents of the village since the fuel tanks frequently contain gasoline or gasoline fumes and may be subject to explosion in case of fire. The storage depreciates the value of neighboring properties and is unsightly and discourages the orderly, progressive development of the village.
(4) The control of the outdoor storage of abandoned, junked, discarded and unlicensed motor vehicles upon privately owned properties within the village is therefore regulated for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the village.
(B) This section is in addition to and does not change, repeal or amend the requirements of the village Zoning Ordinance which was effective May 20, 1963 except that the definition of JUNK YARD in the Zoning Ordinance shall apply to all junk yards other than junk yards containing motor vehicles.
