10.36.080 Removal--Required when, exceptions.
The owner of the land upon which the vehicle or hulk is located may appear in person at the hearing or present a written statement in time for consideration at the hearing, and deny responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on the land, with his reasons for such denial. If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle or hulk was placed on the land without the consent of the landowner and that he has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, then the county shall not assess costs of administration or removal of the vehicle or hulk against the property upon which it is located, or otherwise attempt to collect such cost from the owner.
(1) After notice has been given of the intent of the county to dispose of the vehicle and after a hearing, if requested, has been held, the vehicle or hulk shall be removed, at the request of a law enforcement officer, and disposed of to a licensed auto wrecker with notice to the Washington State Patrol and the Department of Motor Vehicles that the vehicle has been wrecked.
(2) These provisions shall not apply to:
(a) A vehicle or hulk which is completely enclosed within a building in a lawful manner where it is not visible from the street or other public or private property, or
(b) A vehicle or hulk which is stored or parked in a lawful manner on private property in connection with the business of a licensed dismantler or licensed vehicle dealer, fenced according to the provisions of RCW 46.80.130. (Added by § 8 of Res. adopted June 15, 1970).
