Or would you rather we go back to the old days and a mob of angry town folk chased him off. I don't think that would be the lawful thing to do so I guess we will stick with the code enforcement.

He attempted to apply for a license and you denied it. You allowed him to accumulate his possessions and operate from this building for 3 years. You did nothing, until now; to stop him. Sorry, but he will win in a court of law-YOUR STUCK!! Call the Town lawyer and check it out. Sorry you’re stuck with it.

This property needs to be cleaned up and if they want a junk yard buy some property in the middle of no where and put a fence around it. Some thing tells me even if they built a fence around it, the fence would be an eye sore.

It shouldn't be rezoned for a business, and they should be forced to clean up that mess. Every time I come to town it sickens me to think people could live like that. I know the neighbors are at their wits end, and as far as the fence goes.... All that junk is still very easily seen as you go by. It's just plain NASTY. I was there a month ago, both myself and my husband are both sickened by that mess. As you can tell I no longer live in Century, but my family does. I hate seeing junkie, nasty houses where people just don't care. As far as talking to him about helping him clean it LOL stop by and ask him. He doesn't want to clean it, and he doesn't want anyones help either. He wants to be left alone to wallow in that filth and make his neighbors watch. Sorry , but it's the truth.

She asked "who would she have to see on their zoning board." (Quotes taken from official minutes of the meeting) I had no contact with the Philyaws prior to this council meeting, and after a lengthy discussion, I requested that the mayor look into what the procedure was for a zoning change and provide it to the Philyaws. Whoever you are, hiding behind an assumed name, you violated northescambia.com rules number one (personal attack) and number three (libel). Guess What – the facts are as follows:

I wonder if Little Bill has seen it, or even pictures of it. Guess not or we would have heard him groaning! It use to be a really nice place, and had a beautiful yard. Nothing there to even salvage now days! So sad... This was the home of the pharmacist Mr. Bill Turberville. I wonder if Little Bill has seen it, or even pictures of it.

They should not be allowed to have this in a residential area, if they want a junk yard they need to buy a commercial lot for it If they want to collect this stuff and recycle thats fine, but keep it out of sight, build a huge fence around the property where no one can see it Now imagine if this house was next to you, bringing down property values of everything around you.
