County to enforce zoning As the result of an ever-increasing number of complaints concerning violations of the Morrow County Zoning Ordinance, which regulates how people use their land, the Mor row County Planning Commission has directed the planning department to begin an enforcement program, according to Kent Goodyear, Mor row County Planning Commission chairman. The county court, in turn, has hired an emergency data pro cessor. This individual will devote one-quarter of her time to code en forcement under the direction of the planning department. “ Violations of land use laws are primarily in the areas of: too many animals, garbage (junk), storage of inoperable vehicles, and in some cases, too many dwelling units per tax lot. Zoning (land use regulations) were adopted by Morrow County citizens to protect the value and in tegrity of their neighborhoods from unsightly and aggravating nuisances,” said Goodyear. “ Being a good neighbor and price of owner ship would go a long way in elim inating the problem . All violators will first be made aware of the violation and given a reasonable time in which to comply. Failure to comply will result in fines and court actions,” he added. lone class makes money in ‘Market’ After the first week in trading in the Stock Market Game the lone High School Personal Finance class had total assets of $102,498.
