City Ordinance 219-2. STORAGE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY:          

"No disassembled, inoperable, unlicensed, junked, or wrecked motor vehicles, truck bodies, tractors, trailers, farm machinery, unattached parts of the foregoing, appliances or personal property not designed for outdoor use shall be stored unenclosed outside a building upon private property within the City for a period exceeding ten (10) days."

If the items in violation are not removed within seven (7) days of receiving notice, any city police officer may issue a citation to the occupant of the premises upon which said property is stored. If such property is not removed within twenty (20) days after expiration of the time or removal, the items may be removed and impounded. Costs of removal and impoundment not paid by the tenant or owner or through sale of the property, shall be placed on the next tax roll as a special charge against the real estate from which the property was removed.

If a tenant or property owner wishes to appeal this order of removal, they shall file a written notice of appeal at the police department prior to the expiration of the time for compliance. The letter shall include the error alleged, and the name, address and phone number of the person filing the appeal. The Regulatory Committee shall then review the order for removal. No property shall be removed until the appeal process is completed.
