As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
DISASSEMBLED, INOPERABLE, JUNKED OR WRECKED MOTOR VEHICLES, TRUCK BODIES, TRACTORS, TRAILERS
Motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, truck bodies, tractors, farm machinery or trailers in such state of physical or mechanical ruin as to be incapable of propulsion, being operated upon the public streets or highways, or which are otherwise not in safe or legal condition for operation on public streets or highways due to missing or inoperative parts, flat or removed tires, expired or missing license plates or other defects.
INOPERABLE APPLIANCE
Any stove, washer, refrigerator or other appliance which is no longer operable in the sense for which it was manufactured.

As defined in § 340.01(35), Wis. Stats.
UNLICENSED MOTOR VEHICLES, TRUCK BODIES, TRACTORS OR TRAILERS

This article shall not apply to any motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessories stored within an enclosed building or on the premises of a business enterprise operated in a lawful place and manner in a properly zoned area in such a manner as to not constitute a nuisance, when necessary to the operation of such business enterprise; in a storage place or depository maintained in a lawful place and manner; or seasonal-use vehicles such as snowmobiles, motorcycles, motor scooters and nonmotorized campers, provided such vehicles are stored in compliance with the ordinances of the Village. Also excepted are motor vehicles registered pursuant to §§ 341.265 and 341.266, Wis. Stats. In other situations, the Village Board may issue a one-time temporary permit permitting an extension of not to exceed an additional 30 days' time to comply with this article where exceptional facts and circumstances warrant such extension.
A. 
Whenever a law enforcement officer shall find any violation of this article, such officer shall provide notice to the owner and/or occupant of the real estate upon which the violation exists, and/or to the owner and/or occupant of such nuisance property causing the violation, to remove such property, either immediately in the case of an emergency or from one to 30 days in the case of a nonemergency situation. In the event there is not compliance at the expiration of the notice period set forth above, the law enforcement officer may cause to be issued a citation to the property owner and/or occupant of the property on which said violation exists and/or to the owner and/or occupant of such property causing the violation. Said citation shall provide that the violation shall be remedied:
(1) 
In the case of an emergency, immediately; or
(2) 
In nonemergency situations, from one to 30 days. Such citation may also provide for a forfeiture pursuant to § 1-4.
B. 
If such violation is not remedied within the time set forth in the citation issued under Subsection A(1) above, the law enforcement officer may cause the vehicle, appliance or other property causing the violation to be removed and impounded, and it shall thereafter be disposed of as prescribed in §§ 476-3 through 476-6[1] by the law enforcement officer, or his/her duly authorized representative. Any costs incurred in the removal and sale of said vehicle, appliance or other violating property shall be recovered from the tenant of the property from upon which it was removed and/or the owner of the property from upon which it was removed. However, if the owner of the vehicle, appliance or other property cannot be readily found, the cost of such removal shall be charged to the property from which it is removed, which charges shall be entered as a special charge on the tax roll pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.

Each day a violation exists after the expiration of time set forth in the citation above shall constitute a new and separate offense. Use of the abatement procedures in this section shall not preclude the Village's use of other enforcement measures, including, but not limited to, imposing a forfeiture under § 1-4 pursuant to § 396-17 below.
Any person who shall interfere with the enforcement of any of the provisions of this article and shall be found guilty thereof shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-4 of the Code. Each motor vehicle or appliance involved shall constitute a separate offense.
