ONO - East Hanover Township is taking a junk car yard owner to court - again.
Township Solicitor Sam Weiss told the Board of Supervisors Monday night a hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17, concerning junkyard owner Rodney Weaver's failure to comply with a previous court order.
In 2006, the court ordered Weaver's junkyard located on Homestead Road confined to 7 ½ acres. The court order also required that Weaver build a fence blocking the view of the junk and allow inspectors on the property periodically to ensure the junkyard does not expand.
Township Supervisor Tom Donmoyer said Monday Weaver refused the inspector access to the junkyard in spring.
The township contends Weaver's action violated the court order. Aerial photographs of the junkyard were taken in spring, which show that it has grown, officials said.
Weiss said the township should provide the aerial photographs to the judge to show that the junkyard has expanded beyond the court-ordered 7 ½ acres. Weiss also told the supervisors to submit all associated legal bills and expenses to the judge.
