<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               The requirement that written notice be given prior to removal of an abandoned, nuisance,
               or junked vehicle may, as determined by the code enforcement officer, be omitted in
               those circumstances where there is a special need for prompt action to eliminate traffic
               obstruction or to otherwise maintain and protect the public safety and welfare. Such
               findings shall, in all cases, be entered by the code enforcement officer in the appropriate
               daily records. Circumstances justifying the removal of vehicles without prior notice
               include:

               <p class="content2">
                  <span class="ital">Vehicles abandoned on streets or highways.</span> For vehicles left on the public streets and highways, the board of county commissioners
                  hereby determines that immediate removal of such vehicles may be warranted when they
                  are obstructing traffic.

                  <span class="ital">Other abandoned or nuisance vehicles.</span> With respect to abandoned or nuisance vehicles left on county-owned property other
                  than the streets and highways, and on private property, such vehicles may be removed
                  without giving prior notice only in those circumstances where the authorizing official
                  finds a special need for prompt action to protect and maintain the public health,
                  safety, and welfare. By way of illustration and not of limitation, such circumstances
                  include vehicles blocking or obstructing ingress or egress to businesses or residences,
                  vehicles parked in such a location or manner as to pose a traffic hazard, and vehicles
                  causing damage to public or private property.
