ABANDON: To leave a vehicle on private property without the permission of the person having rights to the possession of the property, or on a highway, street, alley, road, or other property open to the public for the purposes of vehicular traffic or parking, or upon or within the right of way of any highway, street, alley, or road for twenty four (24) hours or longer.
ABANDONED VEHICLE: Any vehicle observed by a city law enforcement officer or reported by a member of the public to have been left within the limits of any highway, street, alley, road, or right of way thereof, or upon the property of another without the consent of the property owner for a period of twenty four (24) hours or longer, except that a vehicle shall not be considered abandoned if its owner-operator is unable to remove it from the place where it is located and has notified a law enforcement agency and requested assistance.
JUNK VEHICLE: Any vehicle which:
(A) Does not meet the vehicle equipment standards of chapter 9, title 49, of the Idaho Code as a result of damage or neglect; or
(B) Is not in the current process of being restored or repaired by its owner(s); or
(C) Is not currently registered according to chapter 4, title 49, of the Idaho Code.
(Comment: This is a distinct and separate classification from abandoned vehicle. Abandoned vehicles are vehicles belonging to one person and left on the property of another person or political subdivision. Junk vehicles are unregistered, fail to conform to vehicle equipment standards and are not in the process of repair and restoration. One way a violation of subsection 5-5-350(A) of this subchapter occurs is where a junk vehicle is left by its owner on property of the vehicle owner.)
REFUSE: Undesirable matter including, but not limited to: all waste wood, tree trimmings, grass cuttings, dead plants, weeds, leaves, dead trees, chips, shavings, sawdust, printed matter, paper, used and discarded articles of clothing, combustible waste pulp, boxes, crates, cartons and packaging materials, glass, ashes, industrial and construction debris, trash, household garbage, commercial waste, stable matter, junk or badly weathered building materials not currently in use, appliances and appliance shells, furniture, mattresses, scrap metals, vehicle bodies, vehicle parts, tires and junk vehicles. Refuse also includes anything that is or was in a garbage can, dumpster or other kind of garbage container, or that is or was in a truck or other vehicle on its way to a landfill or waste transfer site. Hazardous waste is regulated by chapter 3, subchapter E of this title. This is not intended to prohibit permitted composting activities.
UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLE: Any vehicle parked or otherwise left on private property without the consent of the person owning or controlling that property. (Ord. 808, 4-14-2005)
