Much of the hillside conversation at FENCE Saturday was speculation about the controversial cars and their hidden meaning Is this a joke? Or is a junk yard coming on one of Polk County’s main entrances? Vivian Searcy, who along with her husband owns Searcy Yarn Co. on Hammett St. in Columbus, said Monday that she would have no comment about the sign and junk cars. Her husband was unavailable. The Searcy property adjoins another controversial parcel, property recently purchased by Bill Wakefield, who plans to relocate his TLC Chevrolet/GEO dealership there. Three residents of Beechwood have sued the Town of Columbus for rezoning that property from residential to highway commercial. Though that suit was thrown out of court, the three residents have appealed the judging’s ruling. Unlike Wakefield’s property, Searcy’s property lies outside the town limits and is not subject to any zoning ordinances.
