<br /> this Chapter can be found.
<br /> a. Junk or salvage, as defined under this Chapter, shall be permitted to be
<br /> stored on any premises on which a permitted business enterprise is actu-
<br /> ally conducted; provided however, that all such junk or salvage is actually
<br /> used in the conduct of such permitted business enterprise; and provided
<br /> further, that all such junk or salvage is at all time stored in an enclosed
<br /> building on the premises, secure from public view.
<br /> b. Junk or salvage, as defined in this Chapter, shall be permitted to be stored
<br /> on any premises used chiefly for residential purposes; provided, however,
<br /> that all such junk or salvage is stored solely for eventual use on the pre-
<br /> mises; and provided further, however, that all such junk or salvage is at
<br /> all times stored in an enclosed building, secure from public view.
<br /> (2) LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES

<br /> boundary of a residential, rural homes or local business district, and no opera-

<br /> Application for such license shall be made to the Zoning Administrator, setting
<br /> forth the description of the premises to be licensed, the nature of the business
<br /> and the materials to be handled, the type of construction of any building to be
<br /> used in connection with the business, the applicant's name or names, officers, if
<br /> ' any, and address of each. The application of license shall be referred to the -
<br /> Zoning Committee, which shall within a reasonable time, hold a public hearing,
<br /> notice of which shall be given by a Class 2 notice under Chapter 985, Wisconsin
<br /> Statutes. If, after such public hearing, the Zoning Committee shall find that all
<br /> details of the premises and buildings are in conformity to the provisions of this
<br /> ordinance, and the site is suitable for the conduct of such business, the Committee
<br /> shall authorize the issuance of a license. The license fee shall be ten dollars
<br /> ($10.00) per year and such license shall expire on July 1 of each year. Licenses
<br /> may be renewed from year to year on authorization of the Committee when inspection
<br /> discloses that the business is being conducted in accordance with the provisions
<br /> of this ordinance.
<br /> (b) Revocation of license. Upon the complaint of any interested person, or on its own
<br /> motion or inspection discloses that the provisions of this ordinance are being vio-
<br /> lated, the Zoning Committee may hold a public hearing to determine whether a junk
<br /> yard license shall be revoked, notice of such hearing to be given to all interested
<br /> parties. After public hearing, the Zoning Committee may order such junk yard license
<br /> revoked.
<br /> (c) Should any town elect to license a salvage yard by adoption of an ordinance pur-
<br /> suant to the provisions of Section 59.07 (38) of the Statutes and file a copy
<br /> of such ordinance with the Zoning Department then the provisions of paragraphs
<br /> (a) and (b) above shall not apply, but no such license shall be issued by any town
<br /> for such purpose unless the area is property zoned and unless the Zoning Committee,
<br /> after public hearing, shall determine that the site is suitable. When a salvage
<br /> yard is licensed by the town then the responsibility of controlling such salvage
<br /> yard will rest with the town.
