County approves moratorium on junkyard permits By Sherri Ellington With the appeals of two previously issued permits looming, a 60-day moratorium on the issuance of building permits for junk yards is now in place. Lamar County commissioners unanimously adopted a resolution instituting the moratorium at a special called meeting on Monday, May 21. The action took less than five minutes. Noting two permit applications for auto salvage yards, either pending or previously approved by the zoning department under existing codes, have been appealed, commissioner Gene Hardwick moved to place the moratorium. It includes the man-ufacture and storage of acids, which affects car batteries.
