There shall be the following exceptions to this chapter, but only in the event that the person, association, partnership or corporation or other claiming the benefit of such exception shall make application in writing and file the same with a fee as set forth from time to time by resolution of the Town Board, unless the fee is waived in a subsection hereof, with the inspecting officer, stating the exception claimed and claiming the benefit thereof, and if, in the opinion of the inspecting officer, the applicant shall be entitled to the benefit of the exception then the inspecting officer shall issue a permit therefor; otherwise he shall refuse the same and return the application fee. Any permit issued shall at all times be prominently displayed and shall be strictly limited to the exception claimed. Failure to display such permit shall be a violation hereof. The exceptions are as follows:
A. A new or used car lot or sales establishment, except that all motor vehicles kept thereon which are more than four years old shall have current New York State inspection stickers thereon.
B. Contractors, truckers, moving companies, factories and motor vehicle rental establishments, provided that in each case they shall at all times own and operate at least three licensed and operable motor vehicles and present proof thereof to the enforcing officer upon demand; that no permit shall be required of the above unless required by the inspecting officer.
C. Gasoline service stations, automobile and motor vehicle repair establishments and body shops may keep and maintain motor vehicle and replacement parts for and in connection with the operation of their said business; subject to the limitation, however, that there shall be no storage or maintenance of broken or junked parts on the premises and no scrap metal shall be maintained thereon, and a failure to remove such junk or scrap within five days of demand by the inspection officer shall result in a revocation of the permit and rights thereunder for a term to be set by the inspector not to exceed six months.
D. Any person desiring to repair or rebuild an unlicensed motor vehicle or vehicles may make application to keep or maintain the same, and upon payment of the fee the inspecting officer may issue a permit for a period not to exceed six months, at the end of which time said vehicle or vehicles and all parts thereof shall be licensed, stored in a fully enclosed building or structure or removed from the Town of Barton.
E. Any person desiring to repair or rebuild an unlicensed historical motor vehicle or vehicles may make application to keep or maintain the same, and upon payment of the fee of the inspecting officer, the inspecting officer may issue a permit for a period not to exceed six months. Additional extensions of the permit may be granted, upon application and payment of a fee, prior to the expiration of the current permit, or extension, and also provided that the applicant provides proof that progress is being made on such repair, rebuilding or restoration. The determination of the sufficiency of progress shall be the sole determination of the inspecting officer, who may take into consideration such factors as age of the vehicle, availability of parts and stage of the repair, rebuilding or restoration.
F. Any person not wishing to license a motor vehicle may make application for permission to store the same in the open within the Town of Barton to the inspecting officer, and if, in the opinion of such officer, said vehicle is operable, would pass New York State inspection, is not so rusted or otherwise run down as to reduce property values or not in such condition as to constitute a health hazard, he may issue a one-year permit for the maintenance of the same. His determination will be subject to review by the Town Board of the Town of Barton on its own motion, that of the applicant or by any objectant thereof. Not more than one such vehicle shall be maintained on any one property.
