constitutes a nuisance, an unsightly condition and a source of vexation
and annoyance not only to the owners and occupants of adjoining lands
but also to the general public. The preservation of peace and good
order, the safeguarding of health, safety and general welfare and
the protection of public property compel the Village Board to legislate
upon said subject matter.

used on or capable of being used as a means of transportation or otherwise

or wholly or partially dismantled motor vehicle no longer intended

Includes any and all parts of any motor vehicle and any and
all tools, equipment and other objects used in conjunction with the
repair, construction, painting, demolition or improvement of any motor
vehicle.
