A. It is unlawful for the registered owner or other person with legal right to possession of a junk vehicle to place or allow such vehicle to remain in public view on any property, public or private, within the city for more than 10 days, the same being declared a public nuisance. 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 to be placed or remain in public view on such property for more than 10 days.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A) of this section, if the city 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 public view while repairs are being performed, the city 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. (Ord. 296 § 3, 1984)
