Franklin County to take action against illegal RV park in Eastpoint

                County commissioners are taking action against a property in Eastpoint that they say is being used as an illegal RV park.

County officials said people are living in numerous RVs and other vehicles, including a van, at a single family lot at 23 Washington Street.

The county has received numerous complaints about the situation.

Health Department officials have also responded to complaints of raw sewage on the ground and though they did not find sewage during a recent inspection they did say that only one unit on the property has a sewer connection.

The Health Department said that under Florida law the property is being used as an RV park, and that is a violation of the county’s zoning rules.

Commissioners voted to turn the issue over to the county attorney for a recommendation on how best to deal with the situation.
