After <br />no action to rectify the violations could be de- <br />tected, they were sent their first violation no- <br />tice on August 15, 1990. Soon thereafter, another <br />telephone conversation was held with Mr. Earhardt. <br />He gave assurances that the matter would be han- <br />dled soon. A second letter was sent on September <br />20, 1990, after little or no action was taken. <br />Subsequently, a vintage Subaru and a Ford Pinto <br />were removed or stored in the garage on the pre- <br />mises, but other items remained. On December 27, <br />'1990, the Earhardts were sent a third violation <br />letter, thanking them for the progress they had <br />made and indicating that further work had to be <br />done to bring the property into compliance. Again <br />after little or no action was perceived, a fourth <br />letter was sent on January 31, 1991, in which a <br />deadline of February 18, 1991, was given to cor- <br />rect violations and in which civil penalties were <br />explained. As of March 6, 1991, the violations <br />had not been corrected. <br />Accumulated Civil Penalties as of March 6, 1990: $1,600 <br />3 <br />
