(1)

Structure. A garage or other enclosed structure.

(2)

Other. Vehicles currently licensed that are non-operable solely by reason of repair work being done thereon, provided that the following conditions are met:

c.

No more than two vehicles in need of repair are located on the premises at the same time.

The ten-day limit may, at the discretion of the mayor or council, be extended for an additional ten days if the owner can demonstrate that it is impossible to complete the ordinary and routine repairs within ten days because of unavailability of parts or other emergency beyond the control of the owner.
