This chapter establishes a procedure and penalties for abatement and/or removal of abandoned and nuisance vehicles or automobile hulks within the exterior boundaries of the YIR. Abandoned vehicles are both a public nuisance and health hazard, jeopardizing the health, safety and welfare of individuals residing within the exterior boundaries of the YIR. Hazardous materials leak from abandoned vehicles polluting the soil, surface water and ground water. Trash and garbage deposited inside these vehicles attracts vermin, known vectors of disease, and is, thus, a further source of public health concern. The intent of this chapter is not to prohibit home auto repair or hobby auto rebuilding or refinishing; provided, that such activities occur within a fenced area with posted notice of intent. Instead, this chapter is intended to affect vehicles left unattended on the YIR for a prescribed period of time, without the permission of the property owner, or vehicles clearly in violation of this chapter.
