County Attorney K. R. Hoyle stated that there is nothing in the current Lee County Zoning Ordinance that pertains to this matter. Community Development Director Ron Satterfield told the Board that the Planning Board would consider creating an "appearance/overgrown lots" section in the current ordinance. He stated that this would also address the problem of the accumulation of trash, tires, garbage, etc. and would be similar to the ordinance that the City of Sanford has.
