<br />to the safety and well-being of children and
<br />other c;;itiz.ens, invite plundering and create
<br />fire hazards. Motor vehicles contain fluids
<br />that if released into the environment can and
<br />do cauSe significant health risks to the citi-
<br />zens of Mounds View, The condition of vehi-
<br />cles that are abandoned iunk, or unsafe sig-
<br />nificantlvincrease the likelihood that these
<br />dangerous fluids might be' so released
<br />Abandoned. iunk or unsafe vehicles and
<br />other scraD mlltals also conStitute a blight on
<br />the landscape of the City and therefore a
<br />detriment to the llnvironment. The abandQQ>
<br />ment and retirement of vehicles and other
<br />scrap metals constitutes a waste of a valu-
<br />able source of useful metl;!t It is therefore in
<br />the Dubllc interest that the Dresent accumula-
<br />tion of abandoned and iunk vehicles antr"'"
<br />other scran metals be eliminated that future
<br />abandonment of vehicles and other scrap
<br />metals be Drevented that the exoansion of
<br />existing scrao recycling. facilities be devel-
<br />ODed and that other acceotablQ and econom-
<br />ically useful methods for the disDosal of
<br />abandoned and iunk vehicles and other
<br />forms of scraD metal be develooed.

<br />Subd. 2. Abandoned Junk and Unsafe
<br />Vehicles:
<br />

<br />cles are declared to be a public nuisance

<br />ent phySical dangers to the safety and well-
<br />being of children and other citizens. The
<br />accumulation and outside storage of such
<br />vehicles is in the nature of rubbish. litter, and
