Status: Mr. Thomas W. Underwood was first contacted by certified mail, return receipt requested, on September 17, 1990 and again on November 13, 1990 (mailed to his mother, Mrs. Margaret Underwood, 4010 Old NC 10, Durham, NC 27705, in accordance with her request); and on Janu- ary 31, 1991 (Explanation and assessment of civil penalties mailed to his mother). Mrs. Underwood acknowledged receiving the three notices. Attempts have been made to make arrangements with salvage people to assist Mrs. Underwood to have the vehicles and trash removed from the premises. She said that her son would not be willing to sell the vehicles for what the salvage people would offer to rectify the violation. Hence, no progress was made on this front.

A copy of his letter dated February 19, 1991, is attached. As directed by the Board, photographs of the property were taken the morning after it's May 6, 1991, meeting.
