Thompson Lane
Code Enforcement Officer Sellers brought before the board Thompson Lane. The
tires had been removed and there had been an effort to repair the roof. The rest
of the property had not been cleaned up. There are too many items in the field,
so the field can not be used for hay. The owner had been given 30 days to clean
up the property; he failed to meet that deadline, so someone else will be out
there to clean it up. Code Enforcement Officer Sellers will be the main point of
contact. Mr. Vissing will be notified about the decision made by the board.
