In a front page story Feb. 25 on the county’s new abandoned car removal program, the Rappahannock News reported that 64 junkers had been hauled away to scrap dealers. And at the March 7 meeting of the county’s Board of Supervisors, John McCarthy told the supervisors that the count had climbed to 96, adding $480 to the general fund “plus the intangible value” of eliminating the landscape blight created by the rusting wrecks.
The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles pays a $50 bounty for each vehicle certified as junked and disposed of. The county keeps $5 for administration of the program and $45 goes to Cecil Wood of Rileyville, the pontractor who removes the cars. Mr. Wood is free to negotiate with each property ow ner over how much he pays for the cars. C According to the zoning administrator, the new program eliminates the obstacles to enforcing the zoning ordinance’s prohibition against unenclosed storage of abandoned vehicles. (Regulations allow no junked cars on lots a half-acre or smaller; one junked car on lots a half-acre to one acre, and two junked cars on lots t»ne acre and larger.) > With the program in place and moving ahead, landowners who previously complained of the expense of hauling and the absence of any other legal disposal option no longer have 'kn excuse for non-compliance, Mr.
McCarthy noted.
