They lease the real property from Mr. William Cesa who is an <br />absentee owner. These business have been operated as such during the pas -t' <br />'2% years and previously to that, my clients operated a similar business...... <br />at a different location. <br />Recently, it was determined by the zoning department that the Flea Market <br />operation is not a permitted use in C -1A zoning as exists on this property. <br />14r, and- Mrs. Freeman were not aware of this violation until 'they received <br />a cease and desist notice from the zoning department. The owners of the <br />-property also received notice of the violation and have been advised of <br />'the legal steps which would be taken by the County to enjoin further <br />operation of the Flea Market. <br />Naturally, the owner is upset and threatens eviction of my clients and <br />of course, my clients are extremely reluctant to give up the business <br />which they have worked -at so diligently in order to make it successful. <br />It is my understanding that the Board of County Commissioners is in the <br />process of adopting a new Flea Market ordinance. I therefore respectfully <br />request that the Board take into consideration the inclusion of C -IA <br />zoning within the Flea Market Ordinance in addition to the industrial and <br />C-1 zoning which is now -recommended in the ordinance. <br />I and my clients will be happy to present this matter to the Board At any <br />time which would be convenient. <br />Very truly yours, <br />P. Bob' ian <br />ic Flo <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS CONFIRMED THAT A SUIT HAS BEEN FILED ON <br />BEHALF OF THE COUNTY IN REGARD TO A ZONING VIOLATION AS STATED IN THE <br />LETTER. HE CONTINUED THAT THE FREEMANS, WHO ARE OPERATING THE FLEA <br />MARKET AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, HAVE GIVEN HIM <br />SOME JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUESTING THAT FLEA MARKETS BE ALLOWED IN C -IA <br />DISTRICTS AS WELL AS C-1. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD <br />THAT NEITHER THE PLANNING NOR THE ZONING DEPARTMENT HAS ANY OPPOSITION <br />TO SUCH AN AMENDMENT OF C -IA. <br />1\ <br />52 <br />
