Residents criticize Green Ridge recycling proposal and raise enforcement concerns about local building
Summary
Public commenters urged the board to reconsider a proposed Green Ridge recycling and disposal facility (CUP 24-01), and a resident, Daniel Lance, criticized conditions at a local building and pressed officials for enforcement, saying he may seek a shutdown if the county does not act.
Several residents used the public-comment period to raise complaints about a pending recycling/disposal proposal and building conditions.
A planning update presented earlier in the meeting noted a pending conditional use permit application (CUP 24-01) for a Green Ridge recycling and disposal facility; planning staff said that application remains incomplete. During public comment, a resident identified in the agenda as Daniel Lance told the board he had driven by a local building where doors were open, people were noisy and music was playing. "It's very obnoxious to find doors open, people outside yelling and screaming, music is wearing," Daniel said, adding he had filed paperwork and that enforcement had not resolved the problem. "So I'm just asking all the people to do before I have to take matters," he said, later noting he believes he "can get a shutdown." (Quote lightly edited for clarity.)
Another commenter told the newly seated board members that Green Ridge is "doing stuff that's illegal" and urged supervisors to reconsider permitting the facility, calling it additional unwanted waste for the county.
Planning staff earlier summarized the county's October planning activity, including the pending CUP for Green Ridge and a rezoning request (24-01 Dowdy and Als) for property at the corner of Route 13 and Route 60; staff said the Green Ridge CUP application is not yet complete and remains under review.
What’s next: the conditional use permit and rezoning requests remain pending with planning staff; the board will receive completed application materials and any staff recommendations before a permitting decision. Officials did not announce a final decision on the Green Ridge CUP during the excerpt provided.
