The owner of any such motor vehicle may keep and maintain one such motor vehicle, which would otherwise be in violation of this article, on the property upon which he maintains his residence, and not upon the street, alley or other public right of way, for the purpose of repairing the same, provided that the motor vehicle owner complies with the following:
(a) A permit for such exception for repair purposes is obtained from the City at a cost of five dollars ($5.00);
(b) Such permit shall be valid for a period of forty-five days, but may be renewed for successive periods of forty-five days each, upon application by such motor vehicle owner; but each such renewal shall only be granted if, in the opinion of the City Police Chief, evidence exists that substantial repairs have been made to such motor vehicle in the preceding permit period;
(c) Such permit shall be prominently displayed in the windshield area of such motor vehicle at all times;
(d) Such motor vehicle shall be kept covered with a cloth, canvas or other such type of material at all times when such repairs are not actively being made on the motor vehicle;
(e) In the event that residentially-owned or occupied property is so owned or occupied by more than one person, no more than one permit shall be issued for the same forty-five day period, it being the intent of this exception to permit only one motor vehicle to qualify for such exception, and thereby be kept and maintained on such property, during the same period of time.
