On July 5 a photo of the mashed "tractor" (left end of wrecked vehicles in top picture) was published. (Click on the image to enlarge it; then click on the Back button on your browser to come back here.) At that time it was still hooked to the tow truck. Now the trailer is gone, but the wrecked cab is still there. Looks to me like it's a total.
Last week I stopped by City Hall to see if any complaints had been registered about the mess at Gavers. The City maintains a file on each property address, and the most recent activity at Gavers was, according to the file, back in 1999.
The wrecked red pick-up has been stored at the front of the building for about two years. I know there has been City enforcement activity since then, because two other wrecked vehicles along the front of the building were removed. But none of that is documented. Documentation is necessary, so that effective enforcement will get the mess cleaned up.
With the growth of Woodstock, it's time for Gavers to store these junked vehicles elsewhere. Patrons of the Woodstock Recreation Center and the massage business across the street, along with the businesses on Kimball between Lake Avenue and the Metra tracks, shouldn't have to look at a junkyard any longer.
How about it, Woodstock? Can you work with Gavers to get the mess cleaned up in the next 60 days?

Gaver’s has been there providing a great service since long before I moved to the area (40 Years). I see no problem with their business being there and the storage of vehicles. Next you'll be complaining about Bott’s on 47 or Rte 14 Auto. We can't have established tax paying businesses upsetting Gus. OH wait, just don't look as you drive by
If it is his property, he should be able to store as much junk on it, as he sees fit. If it is rented property he should be able to store as much junk as his lease allows. Those should be the only 2 factors that can limit the amount of junk stored on a piece of property.
