[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----]
1. The Board of Commissioners finds that the undertaking of maintenance
and repair work on motor vehicles (including the placing or supporting
of motor vehicles on blocks, jacks or other objects other than tires)
on streets and alleys within the Township constitutes a traffic hazard
and a hazard to the health, safety and property of the Township and
its residents.
2. The Board further finds that the prohibition of such maintenance
and repair work is necessary for the proper regulation of the streets
and alleys of the Township, and is necessary to promote the health,
safety, general welfare, cleanliness, beauty, convenience and comfort
of the Township and its residents.
3. The Board further finds that the provisions of this Part are expedient
and necessary for the proper management, care, preservation and control
of the Township and its property.
4. The purpose of this Part is to remedy the evils hereinbefore set
forth, and, consistent with the findings hereinbefore made, to properly
carry out the affairs of the Township, and to protect and preserve
the Township property, and the persons and property of its residents.
