Dumfries officials have a towing company in their sights.
Town officials say WAR Recovery, Inc. is storing towed vehicles in Dumfries at a fenced-in lot near Route 1 and Mine Road. The company “is in violation of zoning ordinances” for storing cars in the lot, according to town manager Daniel Taber.
An address on Google shows the company to be located in Four Mile Fork in Spotsylvania County. The WAR website shows a PO Box in Dumfries.
No one from WAR Recovery, Inc. responded to a request for comment for this post.
At Tuesday’s Dumfries Town Council meeting, town attorney Olaun Simmons stated in a report he would pursue civil cause for action against the company to ask them to cease operating in the town without the proper permits.
On December 29, 2014, the Zoning Administrator issued a zoning violation letter to War Towing concerning their towing business that is operating in the Town of Dumfries without a business license and in violation of the zoning ordinance as it relates to automobile graveyards.
On February 3, 2015, the Town Manager sent a follow-up letter reminding War Towing of their current zoning violations in which the Town Manager ordered the towing company to cease all activities that are in violation of the ordinance.
As a result of their non-compliance, I filed a civil cause of action against War Towing for their continued violation of the zoning ordinance.
