Webb's RV Park seeks rezoning for new facility in Milo, Iowa

A proposed RV park in Warren County is stirring up significant community debate as the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on June 3, 2025, regarding the rezoning of land owned by Dale and Linda Webb. The couple seeks to transform their property from an agricultural district to a general commercial highway service district to establish an RV park with 14 to 20 spots, complete with full hookups.

During the hearing, concerns from local residents dominated the discussion. Neighbors expressed fears about potential noise, increased traffic, and the impact on property values. Amy Welch, a resident near the proposed site, raised questions about the park's future expansion and the possibility of various businesses operating on the property if the rezoning is approved. Other residents echoed these sentiments, highlighting worries about security and the need for additional law enforcement.

The zoning commission had previously recommended denial of the application, with three out of five members voting against it during a May 13 meeting. The commission urged the Board to consider the community's concerns and suggested implementing restrictions if the rezoning were to be approved.

In defense of the project, attorney Robert Stuyvesant, representing the Webbs, argued that the couple aims to operate a legitimate commercial business, emphasizing their intention to provide a service for veterans and their families. He noted that the Webbs had successfully managed a previous campground without issues and presented letters of support from local veterans.

As the Board weighs the pros and cons of the rezoning application, the outcome remains uncertain, with community members keenly watching for the next steps in this contentious proposal.
