 Johnston to begin enforcing “junk car” ordinance web posted November 12, 2008 JOHNSTON – Just one day after the Johnston Town Council let a motion to amend the town’s zoning ordinance on unregistered vehicles die for a lack of a second, the town is now moving forward to enforce the current ordinance, according to Town Administrator Keith Coones. “I will be meeting shortly with Chief Aston and we will begin to formulate a plan to enforce the Zoning Ordinance provision on unlicensed vehicles that has been in place since the Town of Johnston adopted the current Zoning Ordinance in 2001,” Connes said in an email to the local media Tuesday. Administrator Coones said, “Long before we start issuing tickets for violations, we will be writing letters to violators and asking for compliance and will be agreeable to working out terms to bring about compliance.” The hotly debated issue led to Johnston Town Councilman Tommy Burton, who supported changing the zoning to allow no time limit for how long a resident can keep non-functioning or unlicensed vehicles on their property, almost being thrown out of the Monday night council meeting by Johnston Mayor Willie Campbell. Coones wrote, “This is the primary objective in dutiful enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance which is in place to protect property in Johnston and to improve the quality of life for everyone.” Johnston Mayor Willie Campbell said Monday night at the meeting he is bound by his office to enforce the laws on the books for the town and he intended to do so and had removed his son’s car from their property when he deployed overseas in the military to be in compliance. There was no indication as to why the town had not been enforcing the edict that was passed in 2001 before now. ©
