A. Intent: It is the intent of the Town Board to prohibit long term storage of vehicles and personal property on Town streets, alleys, rights-of-way or other public property. Moving a vehicle or personal property from place to place on public ways or property does not constitute compliance with subsection B of this section.
B. Parking Or Storage Prohibited:
1. No person shall store, or permit to be stored, on a public right-of-way or other public property, a recreational vehicle, travel trailer, or any other trailer, boat, camper or any other personal property within a period in excess of seventy two (72) hours. Failure to remove such property from the street or public property within a period of seventy two (72) hours constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this subsection.
2. No person shall store, or permit to be stored, on a public right-of-way or other public property an inoperable motor vehicle for a period in excess of twenty four (24) hours. Failure to remove such a motor vehicle from public property within a period of twenty four (24) hours constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this subsection.
C. Written Warning Or Notice; Citation: When a police officer finds a vehicle or property in violation of this section, a written warning may be issued to the registered owner or other person responsible for the vehicle or property, and/or a notice of intent to impound, allowing a reasonable period for the person to comply with this section. Failure of the person to comply within the time allowed shall result in the issuance of a citation, and the vehicle or property in violation of this section may be towed/removed at the owner's expense. (2011 Code § 21-35)
D. Penalties: In addition to paying any expense incurred by the Town in connection with the impoundment and/or storage of a vehicle or property which is in violation of this section, a person found guilty of violating subsection B1 or B2 of this section shall be punishable as provided in section 1-4-1 of this Code, plus impoundment and storage fees.
