Burnett Junkyard. Jim Burnett called on Friday, September 17, 1999 to request an extension of the October 15, 1999 deadline to repair the fence. In order to repair the fence, they will have to repair it from the inside out which entails moving 200 tons of junk before they can access the fence. This is a time consuming process. Could move the junk this fall, and repair the fence next summer. How about a one year extension? What specifications will the fence have to meet? Will a steel fence be acceptable – it is typical for a junkyard to have a steel fence? Also, what is unimproved storage?

The Board agreed the intent of their letter was to make repairs now, they can reconstruct in the Spring. Unimproved storage is outside storage of junk.
