R Clayton Case (9116 ) Summary Location: Clayton's Body Shop, 1404 Buckhorn Road violation: Commercial use (a body shop and junked motor vehicle storage) of property zoned Rural Residential (R -1), beyond a commercial zoning lot. The outside storage of junked motor vehicles is not permitted in the R -1 dis- trict. Background: Claytons Body Shop is located on a 200' X 200' commercial zoning lot (Existing Commer- cial EC -5), which is situated on a 5.12 -acre parcel. A number of anonymous neighbors have complained about junked motor vehicles being moved and stored beyond the zoning lot lim- its. It is estimated that the area used ille- gally in the R -1 portion of the parcel is 3- 4 times larger than the EC -5 zoning lot. A number of conversations about the zoning violations going back to November 1990 have been held with Mr. Clayton. He made promises to rectify the violation, but there has been little or no action on his part. with no action forthcoming, a letter was sent on May 28, 1991, stating that the property was to have been brought into compliance on or be- fore July 1, 1991. At the end of June 1991, Mr. Clayton's father came to the Planning and Inspections Depart- ment to report that his son was burned in an accident. Clayton was hospitalized at Duke Medical Center for over a month. The dead- line to remove the junked motor vehicles on the R -1 land was temporarily lifted by the Zoning officer. On August 5, 1991, Mr. Clayton was back on the job. He promised on that day that he would begin moving vehicles to correct the violation. For the second time he was given the names of a number of contractors who would buy the vehicles for him. Status: To this date (September 26, 1991), there has been no perceivable evidence of activities toward correcting the violation. Filing Date: November 19, 1990 Date civil Penalties Began: September 3, 1991 Accumulated Civil.Penalties as of September 26, 1991: $2,300
