Conner Trucking History of Zoning Enforcement On May 9, 1994 our office received a complaint concer~fing a possible zoning violation at 13041 Cabarms Station Road in Midland. The complaint was as follows: "Tractor trailers, dump trucks - Trucking company opened and operating m the neighboflmod - Trucks coining and going at all hours of the day and night. They leave their refrigeration units rmn~ing all night." On May 19, 1994 Mr. Jay Lowe, Zonh~g Techlfician, performed an onsite inspection and found that there was a trucking company operating at tiffs address. Mr. Lowe talked with Mr. Conner m~d others workh~g at this location. They stated that a business has been operating here for approximately 15 years. Having no evidence to the contrary, our office did not see a need for any further actions. On June 16, 1994, Mrs. Bohannon who lives across Cabarrus Station Road from this operation m~d Mrs. Morrison who lives on Sam Black Road, crone by my office to discuss the trucking company presently operating on Mr. Cromer's property. I told them what Mr. Lowe had found and that our office was satisfied that this was not a violation. Both ladies disagreed with the information we had received. They stated the trucking company had not been there more than two years. They did agree that Mr. Conner ran a grocery store in the building which is now occupied by RPM Industries. At that time Mr. Conner had a delivery track and a dump track. That's all. With this new information in mind I tried for three days to get in touch with Mr. Conner. On June 21, 1994 I talked with Mr. Comber and told him the h~fonnation I had received. I then asked him to provide me with some evidence which would prove that his trucking company has been in continuous operation for the last 15 years. Mr. Comber stated that it would take some time to gather such information. Approximately three weeks later, Mr. Conner brought me a couple of ledger sheets from January and February of 1983 showing some activity of a dump track he owned at that time. Mr. Comber also gave me a copy of a receipt for service work performed m 1981 on a diesel truck.
