In the case of partnerships or joint ventures, it shall include the names, residences and telephone numbers of all general and/or limited partners or joint venturers; in the case of corporations, it shall include the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all officers and directors of said corporation.

5. If different from any specification above, the name, address and telephone number of the owner or owners of the real property and the name, address and telephone number (if available) of any lien or easement holders of the land.
6. The application must be signed by the applicant under oath. In the case of partnerships, all general partners must so sign and in the case of joint ventures, all joint venturers must so sign, and in the case of corporations, the authorized agent making application must sign under oath, and there must be an adequate indication on the application that such agent has been duly authorized, and that such application is properly attested to by the appropriate corporate officer.
7. A statement that all other necessary waivers, licenses, and obligations lawfully imposed have been or will be met and obtained, and that all laws of the state of Idaho and all ordinances, rules, regulations and restrictions of any kind of the state of Idaho, or any of its subdivisions, or any federal agency have been or will be fully complied with, including, but not limited to: city and county zoning requirements, health requirements, sanitation requirements, safety requirements, environmental protection requirements and building codes.
B. Requirements For Issuance: No license may be issued until and unless the following requirements have been fully met:
1. That an application completed as above described has been placed on file with the City. In the case of persons having previously placed an application on file, it shall be sufficient to submit a statement under oath that the application is current in all respects and that the information contained therein is correct. If the information on file is not correct, or is in any manner incorrect, or has become obsolete, then a revised or supplementary application may be filed in lieu of a complete reapplication. Such a revised or supplementary application must be signed under oath as above provided.
2. A fence at least eight feet (8′) in height must be constructed around the perimeter of the proposed junkyard out of some substantial material which prevents observation of any and all junk and other material or objects to be located and placed within the confines of said junkyard. Such fence will be of such substantial quality as to reasonably discourage unauthorized entrance, particularly by minor children. Also, to the extent possible, such fence shall be as reasonably aesthetic in appeal as possible. If a fence which otherwise complies with this subsection is constructed of wood but over time natural shrinkage allows some gaps to form so that some amount of observation through the fence of the material beyond the fence is permissible, such fence shall, nevertheless, be deemed to be in compliance with this subsection. Except for the foregoing shrinkage provision applying only to wooden fences, any fence constructed under this subsection must also be maintained so that it continues to meet the requirements of this subsection.
3. The confines within the fenced junkyard area shall occupy a contiguous tract of land of not less than ten (10) acres.
4. The frontage of a junkyard shall be a minimum of six hundred feet (600′) and a maximum of eight hundred feet (800′). The shape of the junkyard shall be reasonably square whenever possible.
5. No portion of a new junkyard shall be within two (2) miles of an existing junkyard already licensed under the provisions herein.
6. Respecting new junkyards, such junkyard site location can be disapproved if such location would, in the reasoned and considered opinion of the city council, frustrate economical, safe, orderly and well planned present or future development of the city, regardless of present city layout and/or city or county zoning requirements.
7. In the case of new junkyards, the proposed site must be appropriately zoned prior to license issuance.
8. The City Clerk must have previously received the license fee in full. This fee is nonrefundable.
C. Renewals: Renewals of the license as herein described will be issued only upon full compliance with the above provisions except as hereinafter provided.
D. Waiver Of Full Compliance:
1. In the case of already operating and licensed junkyards which were operating as such and duly licensed and in otherwise full compliance with the previously enacted and partially herewith repealed junkyard ordinances, such junkyards are granted waiver of compliance as to the following requirements as herein provided:
a. The minimum size of ten (10) acres;
b. Minimum and maximum frontage of the junkyard;
c. The requirement that the fence be a minimum of eight feet (8′) in height and be constructed of such material as to prevent observation from and outside of the junk or material stored on the inside; however, it shall remain a requirement of such junkyards operating as herein described, and eligible for the exception herein contained that such a junkyard maintain either a chain link or solid wood fence of at least eight feet (8′) in height around the entire perimeter of the junkyard. In no event, however, may a junkyard have any other fence surrounding its perimeter other than a solid fence which prevents observation of the junk beyond the fence after five (5) years of the enactment of this chapter.
E. Exception To Above Waiver Of Compliance:
1. The waivers to compliance to subsection D of this section applying to junkyards operating, licensed and in full compliance with the prior chapter applies only to junkyards which remain owned by the original prior owner as of the date of enforcement of this chapter. Further, any sale of the business, or any change in ownership of such junkyard revokes the above waiver and evokes the full requirements of compliance with all provisions of this chapter. Also, any renovation of the facilities of the junkyard as herein provided specifically including a change in the fence, either as to type of material or raising its height, revokes the waiver of using anything but a solid fence, which prevents observation of junk stored behind such fence.
2. A “sale” is defined for purposes herein as any sale whatsoever, private or public, voluntary or judicial, or otherwise.
3. A “change of ownership” is defined for purposes herein as any change of ownership, including, but not limited to, bankruptcy, judicial or other foreclosure, reorganization, including merger, sale of the junkyard on contract regardless of whether title passes at the date of contract or not, any acquisition of the junkyard by inheritance, testate or intestate, or otherwise.
4. However, the following shall not be construed as a sale or a change of ownership: the mere change of name of a business with no other change; the giving of mortgages, security interests, or the like in the land or the property; the adding or deleting of partners, if the junkyard is owned by a partnership, so long as at least one of the original general partners remains a general partner, and such general partner remains at all times a managing general partner conducting daily business of the junkyard, or, in the case of a corporation, the sale of stock or the creation of a new class of stock and sale of same.
