303.091 ORDER TO COVER OR REMOVE JUNK MOTOR VEHICLE.

   (a)    For purposes of this section "junk motor vehicle" means any motor vehicle meeting both of the requirements of subsections (d)(2) and (3) of Codified Ordinances Section 521.08 that is left uncovered in the open on private property for more than seventy-two hours with the permission of the person having the right to the possession of the property, other than a person who is validly operating a licensed junk yard or other valid business wherein temporary outside storage is explicitly permitted, and other than a motor vehicle which is a collector's vehicle.

   (b)    The Chief of Police, Council or the Planning Commission may send a notice, by certified mail with return receipt requested, to the person having the right to the possession of the property on which a junk motor vehicle is left, stating that within ten days of receipt of the notice, the junk motor vehicle either shall be covered by being housed in a garage or other suitable structure or it shall be removed from the property.

   (c)    No person shall willfully leave a junk motor vehicle uncovered in the open for more than ten days after receipt of a notice as provided for in this section. The fact that a junk motor vehicle is so left shall be prima-facie evidence of willful failure to comply with the notice, and each subsequent period of thirty days that a junk motor vehicle continues to be so shall constitute a separate offense.
(Ord. 86-13. Passed 3-25-86.)

   (d)   Whoever violates any provision of this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
