Dear Mr. Phillips:
As a follow-up to the 23 February 2004 City Commission Meeting, I am enclosing a copy of
Adopted Ordinance 2003-32 for your files.
I drove by your property today to see how the clean up was coming and was surprised to
see that you use of this property as a transfer station and expansion of your 419 Metal dam'
Auto Recycling Inc. business, located at 600 Old Sanford Oviedo Road is continuing. The
unregulated offsite expansion of this business into a "C-1 Neighborhood Commercial"
zoning district is a violation of Winter Springs Code of Ordinances, Chapter 20, Zoning
and Chapter 9, Land Development.
Furthermore, open outdoor storage and/or junkyards are not permitted under `C-1'
Zoning (and never have been). Junkyards were removed from the list of permitted uses
under the "C-2 General Commercial and Industrial" zoning district in 1996 and
therefore, are no longer permitted anywhere in the City, except as anon-conforming
use.
Unless the use of this site is brought into compliance with Code within the next 30 days, you will be
brought before the Code Enforcement Board.
I can be reached at (407) 327-5967 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Eloise M. Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA
