Hog farm growth approved

By JUSTIN SCHNEIDER

“This is a request for administrative review, not a request that the effective use of the permit be stayed,” McInerny said.

Marsh replied that the appeal had been filed by citizens without the assistance of an attorney. Had the ECC worked with an attorney prior to filing the appeal, a stay would have been requested, effectively halting any progress on the proposed hog farm until the matter was resolved.

Board member William Hobbs then moved to reject the motion of continuance. Aubrey seconded the motion and it passed 3-1, with Maxwell dissenting.

Hobbs made a second motion to approve Jarrett’s request for a special-use exemption, based on findings of fact and with several restrictions attached. Aubrey seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
