Death of a City


When I was a member of the Lumberton Planning and Zoning Committee, we were told that you do not allow the placement of storage buildings on a main street, and that you make sure the entrance to your city is appealing to those traveling through the area. Anyone that has the gift of sight has seen the large number of dilapidated trailers that are located at both entrances into this city. I recently attended a Planning and Zoning Committee meeting, and no was notified that the City of Lumberton would be used as a trailer burial ground. Apparently, someone thought they could forgo the proper procedures and take it upon themselves to do what they want to do without regard to Lumberton's Comprehensive Plan. I have heard that the trailers are being staged and will be sold at a later date. So, you too can own one of these battered, sightly toxic vehicles!
No one is publically claming ownership of the property or of the trailers. The last time I checked, the land was owned by Paul Ockmond, but when questioned about his ownership of the land he stated that he recently sold the property, and that the current owner does not want to be identified. Well, if the sale was done properly, one trip to the county court house will reveal who is the owner of the property.
