The Washington County Planning Commission unanimously approved a special-exception permit for Profile Welding to operate a welding shop at 18311 Limestone Drive.
The commission heard that the applicant (identified in the agenda as Eric and Holly Thompson) has constructed a 60-by-30-foot metal building on the roughly 13.49-acre site in the A‑1 Agricultural zoning district and lives on the property. The owner told the panel he is the lone operator, performs truck and farm equipment repairs and doesn’t expect significant traffic; planned hours are roughly 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Commissioners had brief technical questions about materials (steel) and whether the business planned to hire employees. After closing the public hearing with no speakers in favor or opposition, a commissioner moved to "grant special exception permit as submitted," the motion was seconded and the commission voted to approve the request unanimously.
The approval permits the welding use under the county’s special-exception process; commissioners did not attach additional conditions during the meeting. The commission set no separate enforcement or monitoring conditions on record; any future complaints or code issues would be handled under standard county procedures.
