County Manager John Crumpton, Planning Director Bob Bridwell, City Code Enforcement Officer Carl Anglin, and Solid Waste Superintendent Joe Cherry discussed issues of abandoned vehicles, dilapidated housing, unsightly yards and other land use issues in unincorporated areas of the County. Mr. Crumpton stated that currently the County does not have a means to do code enforcement, although we contract with the City of Sanford for Building Inspections and Planning/Zoning Administration services. Mr. Bridwell stated that the current Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is the same across the City and County for land use issues but not housing/nuisance abatement matters. Mr. Crumpton stated if the County wished to enforce the above referenced matters outside the City, Solid Waste Superintendent Joe Cherry would have to be certified to undertake these additional enforcement responsibilities.
