This section is included in your selections.

A. It is unlawful for the registered owner or other person with legal right to possession of a junk vehicle or other junk to place or allow such vehicle or junk to remain in public view on any property within the borough for more than five days. It is also unlawful for the owner, tenant or other person in possession or control of any property to cause or allow a junk vehicle or other junk to be placed or remain in public view on such property for more than five days.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A of this section, if the manager has reasonable grounds to believe that repairs can be made to render a junk vehicle operable, that the registered owner or other person entitled to possession of the vehicle is willing to undertake or have performed such repairs, that the vehicle does not pose any health or safety hazard, and that there is no reasonable means for removing the vehicle from the public view while repairs are being performed, the manager may authorize a period of no more than 30 days for the performance of such repairs. In no case, however, may this section be construed as authorizing the operation of a junkyard or other salvage or repair business where other requirements of the law have not been met.

C. If a junk vehicle or other junk has been abandoned on private property, the owner, tenant, or other person in control or possession of the property upon which the vehicle has been abandoned may request the vehicle’s removal pursuant to KIBC 10.10.020(E). [Ord. 98-18 §2, 1998; Ord. 84-61-O §10, 1984; Ord. 82-4-O, 1982].
