Snow season parking restrictions. The Town reserves the right at
any time that no person shall park, stop or leave standing any vehicle
upon any street or highway in the Town from November through April

in the Town.
Any vehicle parked, stopped or standing upon a highway in violation
of any of the provisions of this article is declared to be a hazard
to traffic and public safety. Such vehicle shall be removed by the
operator in charge to a position where parking is permitted or to
a private or public parking or storage premises or property. Any officer,
after issuing a citation for either illegal parking, stopping or standing
of any unattended vehicle in violation of this article, is authorized
to remove such vehicle to a position where parking is permitted or
to cause the towing of such vehicle. In addition to other penalties
provided by this article, the owner or operator of a vehicle so removed
shall pay the reasonable costs of removing, towing and storage. If
the vehicle is moved or towed by a private motor carrier, the motor
vehicle tower is entitled to recover the actual charges regularly
paid for such service. If the vehicle is stored in a public storage
garage or rental facility, customary charges for such storage shall
be paid. Upon payment, a receipt shall be issued to the owner of the
vehicle for the towing or storage charges.
In addition to removal of illegally parked vehicles under § 480-18 above, the Town of Barton may impose a forfeiture on any person violating §§ 346.503 to 346.55, Wis. Stats., in an amount as prescribed in § 346.56, Wis. Stats. Violations of §§ 480-15, 480-16 and 480-17 of this article shall be subject to a forfeiture as prescribed in § 346.56(1m), Wis. Stats.
The procedures and trial of a forfeiture action for the nonmoving
traffic violation for which this article applies are governed by §§ 345.28
and 345.34 to 345.47, Wis. Stats. Where no specific procedure is provided
in §§ 345.28 or 345.34 to 345.47, Wis. Stats., Ch.
799, Wis. Stats., applies to actions in Circuit Court.
This article shall, in accordance with § 60.80, Wis.
Stats., take effect the day after its publication as a Class 1 notice
under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., and the installation of no-parking signs
as may otherwise be required.
