[Adopted as Art. V, § 9, of the General Bylaws]
For the purpose of this bylaw/regulation, a discarded vehicle
shall be one which is inoperative and unregistered, or which is worn
out, cast off or discarded or which is ready for dismantling or destruction,
or which has been collected or stored for salvage, or for stripping
in order to make use of parts thereof. Any substantial portion from
such a vehicle shall be considered discarded vehicles under this bylaw/regulation.
[Amended 1-30-2023 STM by Art. 1]
In all zoning districts, no more than one discarded motor vehicle
can be stored on any parcel and that motor vehicle has to be kept
or stored out of sight and/or out of the front yard(s). This shall
not be required if such vehicle is enclosed within a structure, provided
that only one vehicle may be stored or parked outside if not visible
at normal eye level from any point on an abutting lot, or if screened
from view to the satisfaction of the Building Commissioner. This provision
shall not apply to vehicles for which a permit has been granted by
the Select Board for their storage as provided below.
The office of the Building Commissioner shall be responsible
for enforcing the provisions and requirements of this bylaw/regulation.
If the Building Commissioner receives a complaint or believes by his
own observations that a motor vehicle may be in violation of this
bylaw/regulation, he or his designee shall investigate. If the vehicle
in question is found to be in violation of the above provisions, a
notification sticker shall be attached to said vehicle. Subsequently,
the owner of the lot where the vehicle is being illegally stored or
parked shall have seven days in which to remove, or cause to be removed,
the tagged vehicle. If the vehicle is not removed within this time
period, or an agreed-to extension thereof, a fine of $50 per day,
per vehicle shall be levied against the owner of the property where
the vehicle is being stored or parked. Furthermore, the violation
shall be subject to such further enforcement as may be appropriate.
