§ 28-74. Findings of fact.

(a)

Aesthetic views on residentially zoned and agriculturally zoned property, including streets and rights-of-way in such zoned areas, relate to the general welfare of the people of the county through the tendency of the former to preserve or enhance the value of residentially zoned and agriculturally zoned property.

(b)

The visual presence on residentially zoned and agriculturally zoned property, including streets and rights-of-way in such zoned areas, of wrecked, discarded, dismantled, partly dismantled, inoperative, abandoned, or severely rusted motor vehicles, and/or motor vehicles which, if covered, are covered with something other than a standard cover, is an unpleasant sight to the eyes of the reasonable man or woman of average sensibilities.

(c)

The visual presence on residentially zoned and agriculturally zoned property, including streets and rights-of-way in such zoned areas, of wrecked, discarded, dismantled, partly dismantled, inoperative, abandoned, or severely rusted motor vehicles, and/or motor vehicles which, if covered, are covered with something other than a standard cover, is a visual nuisance in that it tends to depreciate the value of neighboring residentially zoned and agriculturally zoned property, thereby injuring the general welfare of the people of the county.
