Because of the nature and character of their operations, automobile wrecking and

properly minimized their objectionable characteristics:

will not catch and hold water in which mosquitoes may breed and so that

they will not constitute a place or places in which rats, mice, or other

vermin may be harbored, reared, or propagated.

vermin, no such operation shall be permitted closer than one thousand

(1,000) feet from any established residential zone.
