From the first day of November to the first day of May, it shall
be illegal for any person to park a motor vehicle within the limits
of any street, road or highway within the Town in such manner as to
obstruct snow removal.
Any constable, state police officer, or the Director of Public
Works, upon discovery of any such illegally parked motor vehicle,
shall take such motor vehicle into his custody and may cause the same
to be taken to and stored in a suitable place. At the direction of

such motor vehicle may be removed and towed away by a commercial towing
service.
Motor vehicles so removed shall be returned to the owner upon
the payment of the cost, if any, of towing and storage.
There shall be no liability attached to such constable, officer
or Director of Public Works, for any damages to such motor vehicle
while in his custody, and all charges necessarily incurred in the
performance of such duty shall be a lien upon such motor vehicle.
Within 48 hours of the time that a motor vehicle is taken into
custody and stored, pursuant to this article, the Board of Selectmen
shall give written notice to the owner of such motor vehicle, if known,
which notice shall state:
A. That the
motor vehicle has been taken into custody and stored;
B. The location
of storage of the motor vehicle; and
C. The time
when and place where said owner may repossess said vehicle.
