Board denies resolution to revoke Waldron special exception, allowing trucking operation to continue
Summary
After staff reported site improvements, the board voted to deny Resolution 2024‑11 — the measure that sought to revoke a special‑exception for a trucking business — leaving Mr. Waldron’s special exception intact if he maintains compliance.
The Amherst County Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 2 to deny Resolution 2024‑11, a resolution that had sought to revoke the special exception permitting a trucking business at Mr. Waldron’s site.
Planning staff reviewed follow‑up inspections and photographs and told the board that Waldron had largely brought the site into compliance with the special‑exception conditions, including removal of miscellaneous items, relocation of trucks to approved parking areas and installation of required landscaping (a double row of trees). Remaining work is limited to grading and sediment‑pond maintenance; staff said Waldron is aware and working to complete those items.
At the meeting Mr. Waldron addressed the board and said he had removed old ambulances and vans, had the trucks parked as required, and expected to finish grading and erosion control work.
Why it matters: The board’s denial of the revocation resolution keeps the previously granted special exception in place so long as the property owner maintains the required site conditions. Staff emphasized the property will need continued maintenance.
Board action: Supervisor Martin moved to deny Resolution 2024‑11; the motion passed by voice vote.
What’s next: Staff retains oversight responsibility to confirm completion of remaining grading and sediment‑control work; the special exception remains in effect contingent on ongoing compliance.
