13-303 : Vehicles on private property.

  1. Notice to remove. Upon failure of any owner of property within the limits of the town to remove abandoned and inoperable vehicles as required in this article, the town, acting through the police department or any appropriate department as designated by the mayor, may serve a notice on the owner, lessee, occupant or person having control of the property, notifying any of them of the existence of the nuisance and ordering the person to remove the vehicle from the property within five (5) days of service of notice. Such notice shall be served by:


    1. Personally serving the notice on the owner, lessee, occupant or person having control of such property.
    2. Mailing the notice to the last known address of the owner, lessee, occupant or person having control of the property by certified mail; or
    3. Posting the notice on the vehicle or on the property on which the abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, rusted, junked or inoperable motor vehicle is found.
      Service of notice by any of the methods listed in this subsection shall be due notice within the meaning of this section.
  2. Appeal of order to remove. The owner, lessee, occupant or person having control of the property who is aggrieved by the determination of the order of the town may appeal to the board of mayor and aldermen by appearing before the board at the time and place stated in the notice. The board shall hear and determine the appeal as promptly as practicable but within thirty (30) calendar days of the service of the notice. The decision of the board, together with the reasons, shall be in writing and filed in the office of the city recorder as a public record. The order of the town may be affirmed, reversed or modified by an affirmative vote of the majority of the members of the board. Unless it is made clear that the order is contrary to the provisions of this chapter or other law or ordinance, or is arbitrary and constitutes an abuse of discretion, the board shall affirm the order. An owner, agent or occupant who fails, refuses or neglects to comply with the order shall be in violation of the provisions of this article.
  3. Enforcement and penalty. Any person violating or failing to abide by the procedures of this chapter shall be subject to a civil penalty of $500 for each separate violation. Each day the violation of this ordinance continues shall be considered a separate violation. (Ord. #2-97, July 1997)
