[Adopted 5-13-1975 by L.L. No. 1-1975 as Ch. 75 of the 1975 Village of Dundee Municipal Code]
A clean, wholesome, attractive environment is declared to be of importance to the health and safety of the inhabitants and the safeguarding of their material rights against unwarrantable invasion, and in addition, such an environment is deemed essential to the maintenance and continued development of the economy of the Village of Dundee and the general welfare of its citizens. The unrestrained accumulation of old, abandoned, unusable and inoperable motor vehicles, appliances, machinery, rubbish, trash and other discarded material is a hazard to such health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Village of Dundee, necessitating the regulation, restraint and elimination thereof. Likewise, the improper disposal of garbage is a hand to such health, safety and welfare.
As used in this Article, unless the context of subject matter otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
ABANDONED MOTOR VEHICLE
A motor vehicle which is mechanically inoperable due to age, deterioration or damage and has no economic value except for salvage or junk.
DISCARDED MATERIAL
Any item, thing or object which is no longer suitable for use as it was originally manufactured or designed and has no practical economic value except for salvage or junk.
GARBAGE
Includes waste food, vegetable matter of any kind or any other matter which shall be capable of fermentation or decay or which shall give off an odor.
OLD, ABANDONED, UNUSABLE AND INOPERABLE APPLIANCES AND PIECES OF MACHINERY
Any appliance or piece of machinery which is mechanically inoperable due to age, deterioration or damage and has little or no economic value except for salvage or junk. Any appliance or piece of machinery which is stored outside, exposed to the elements for a period of one week or more shall be conclusively presumed to be an "old, abandoned, unusable and inoperable appliance or piece of machinery" for the purposes of this Article.
RUBBISH or TRASH
All cardboard, plastic, used metal or glass food containers, wastepaper, rags, wood, plastic, rubber, leather or metal objects that are broken or unusable for any practical economic purpose and similar waste materials which may accumulate from any household, farm, commercial or industrial operation.
The Zoning Officer of the Village of Dundee shall be the enforcement officer of this Article.
[Amended 5-23-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989]
The open storage of one operable, unregistered motor vehicle shall be allowed, but the open storage of any abandoned, junked, discarded or inoperable motor vehicle is prohibited except by special permit. Licensed commercial establishments involving the sale or repair of motor vehicles shall be exempt. To "openly store" shall mean not enclosed in an opaque, permanent structure.
In case anyone shall not comply with the provisions of § 75-8, the enforcement officer shall give written notice in person or by certified mail to the owner or other person having control of any property in the Village on which such property is stored. Such notice shall provide that the owner or other person in possession or control shall remove the same within 10 days or such lesser period of time as determined by the Zoning Officer from the receipt of such notice. Failure to comply with the notice within the time specified shall constitute a violation punishable as hereinafter provided.
[Amended 6-23-1992]
No person shall dump, throw or deposit any refuse, rubbish, trash or debris in any receptacle without the authority to do so, with the intent to avoid paying for garbage carrier service, or maintain any premises within the Village of Dundee for the disposal of any refuse, debris, garbage, junk, motors, household appliances, secondhand material or trash, on either public or private property in the Village of Dundee.
The Board of Trustees may establish a public dumping ground or grounds within the Village of Dundee for the use of the inhabitants of this Village.
