Lack of maintenance of properties, improper storage of trash
and rubbish, storage of inoperable/nonregistered vehicles, and accumulation
of snow and ice are costly problems that contribute to the deterioration
of property values and general disorder in a community. These problems

business and tax revenue inhibiting economic development. The quality
of life and community pride of the citizens of Plainfield Township

of this Part is to promote the health, safety and general welfare
of Plainfield Township by helping to create a clean environment for
