Ms. <br />Clayton applied for a Building Permit on January 20, 1998, for the mobile home. The <br />building permit was not issued because of the zoning violations. <br />The Claytons were directed to do the following on or before March 3, 1998: <br />1. Remove all junked or wrecked motor vehicles from the premises and dispose of <br />them in a manner which would not violate the Zoning Ordinance. <br />2. Take the batteries to a recycling center and provide receipts. <br />3. Take all white appliances, domestic waste, and razed building materials to the <br />Orange County Landfill and provide the Planning Office with tipping fee <br />receipts. <br />4.

This office <br />has neither heard from the owners, nor has the premises been brought into compliance. <br />
