(a) For the purposes of this section, the term "nuisance" is defined to mean any condition or use of premises or of building exteriors which is detrimental to the property of others or which causes or tends to cause substantial diminution in the value of other property in the neighborhood in which such premises are located. This includes, but is not limited to, the keeping or the depositing on, or the scattering over the premises of any of the following:
(1) Lumber, junk, trash, or debris
(2) Abandoned, discarded or unused objects or equipment such as automobiles, furniture, stoves, refrigerators, freezers, cans or containers.
(b) No person, owning, leasing, occupying or having charge of any premises shall maintain or keep any nuisance thereon, nor shall any such person keep or maintain such premises in a manner causing substantial diminution in the value of the other property in the neighborhood in which such premises are located.
(c) Exterior storage of non-operating vehicles is prohibited. No person in charge of or in control of premises, whether as owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or otherwise shall allow any partially dismantled, wrecked, junked, discarded or otherwise non-operating motor vehicle to remain on such property within the Town for a longer time than ten days; except that this section shall not apply with regard to any vehicle in an enclosed building or so located upon the premises as not to be readily visible from any public place or from any surrounding private property. This section shall further not apply with regard to any vehicle on the premises of a business enterprise operated in a lawful place, other than in a residential district, and operated in a lawful manner, when the keeping or maintenance of such vehicle is necessary to the operation of such business enterprise; or with regard to a vehicle in an appropriate storage place or depository maintained in a lawful place and manner by the town or any other public agency or entity.
(d) The Police Department may employ its own personnel, equipment and facilities for the purpose of removing, preserving or storing abandoned vehicles.

A property owner shall have thirty (30) days from the date of this notification to correct any nuisance condition(s) as specified in the notice. The failure, after thirty (30) days, to correct any nuisance condition(s) shall subject a property owner to a fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500.00) and/or thirty (30) days in jail for each day the nuisance condition(s) continues to exist.
