The outdoor storage of abandoned motor vehicles upon privately owned
properties within the Village of Munsey Park is dangerous, unsightly and a
detriment to the preservation of public health, the protection of property
and the safety and welfare of the residents of the Village of Munsey Park.
The control of the outdoor storage of abandoned motor vehicles upon privately
owned properties within the Village of Munsey Park is, therefore, regulated
for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare of the residents
of the Village of Munsey Park.
