If the Enforcement Officer concludes that immediate enforcement of the requirements of this chapter regarding junk vehicles would constitute an undue hardship, the Enforcement Officer may issue a non-renewable special permit for the open storage of a junk vehicle pending the making of such repairs as are necessary to place said vehicle in a condition for legal operation for use on the a public highway. The maximum term of this nonrenewable special permit shall be 90 days.
B.
Within five days of service of a notice of violation, the owner must submit a written application requesting a special permit. This application must state the reasons for requesting the special permit and must include a statement that if the requisite repairs have not been concluded by the end of the permit period, the applicant will immediately terminate the open storage of that vehicle. This application must be accompanied by a fee of $50.
C.
The application shall include a license from the owner of the real property where the vehicle is stored authorizing the Town and its designees to enter the premises for the purpose of inspection of the vehicle and, if the vehicle is still a junk vehicle upon expiration of the special permit, for purposes of removal of that vehicle. Such license shall become effective upon approval of the application and shall remain effective for an irrevocable period terminating 90 days after expiration of the special permit.
D.
The decision of the Enforcement Officer will be in writing and shall be final. If the application is denied, all remedial action required by the notice of violation must be completed within five days of the date of written denial.
E.
A separate special permit shall be required for each junk vehicle openly stored at the same location or owned by the same person. In no event shall more than two special permits be effective for a given property, or owner, at any one time.
