In addition to and in accordance with the determination made and the authority granted
to remove abandoned or inoperative vehicles as public nuisances, the Police Jury of
the Parish of Pointe Coupee makes the following findings and declarations:
The accumulation and storage of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles
is found to create a condition tending to reduce the value of property; to promote
blight and deterioration; to invite plundering; to create fire hazards; to constitute
an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors; to create
a harborage for rodents and insects; and to be injurious to the health, safety, and
general welfare. Therefore, the presence of abandoned or inoperative vehicles, except
as expressly hereinafter permitted, is declared to constitute a public nuisance which
may be abated as such in accordance with the provisions of this article.
