and 717.99, of the 1985 Codified Ordinances]
The Commissioners of the Township have determined that the open
storage of nonlicensed vehicles, refrigerators, stoves and other mobile
and household equipment on private property is a serious detriment
to the appearance and cleanliness of the Township and is detrimental
to the general welfare of the residents.
No person shall store in the open upon any land in the Township
any of the following items:
A.
Motor vehicles, boats, campers, motor homes, recreational vehicles
and snowmobiles which are not currently licensed and inspected.
[Amended 7-19-2001 by Ord. No. 388]
B.
Used refrigerators, stoves, washers, laundry tubs or any other used
household equipment.
C.
Used television or radio sets.
D.
Used mechanical or electrical equipment and large tools.
The provisions of this article shall not apply to any item which
is stored in a lawfully erected building.
[Amended 7-19-2001 by Ord. No. 388]
A.
Violators will be issued a written warning and granted 30 days to
comply with this article.
B.
Whoever violates this article shall be fined not more than $1,000
plus costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment of such fine
and costs, imprisoned for a term not exceeding 30 days.
C.
Motor vehicles parked on any Township road, street, or alley shall be subjected to an immediate $25 parking ticket issued by the Rochester Township Police Department. This penalty shall only apply to those violations involving a motor vehicle parked on a Township road, street, or alley, and the penalty provisions in Subsections A and B do not apply in that situation. No more than one ticket can be issued within a twenty-four-hour period.
