One such certified notice was recently accepted by Mrs. Mary Sue Fenner for her husband, but same was returned unopened several days later in the mail marked "Refused." The property has been duly posted and the owner has, in addition, been.notified of this meeting by telephone communication and certified mail. You may recall that past County attempts to demolish this property resulted in the filing of a 1981 Federal Court action against the County by Dr. Fenner. This lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by Dr. Fenner's attorney who no longer represents Dr. Fenner and has no desire to reinitiate said proceeding. The County has received no guaranty directly from Dr. Fenner that he would not retain another attorney to pursue his cause, but it is not felt likely that he has a legitimate basis for doing so.
