               Upon investigation, after the receipt of two written complaints, the county enforcement
               officer may order the removal of a junked motor vehicle as defined in this article
               after finding, in writing, that the aesthetic benefits of removing the vehicle outweigh
               the burdens imposed on the private property owner. Such findings shall be based on
               a balancing of the monetary loss of the apparent owner against the corresponding gain
               to the public by promoting or enhancing community, neighborhood or area appearance.
