Supervisors approve master matrix permit for Summit Fork LLP site adding 10 animal spaces
Summary
After a brief hearing with no public comment, the Franklin County Board recommended approval of a master matrix permit for the Franklin Oakland 10 site (Summit Fork LLP); staff said the application adds 10 pigs through reconfiguration and involves no new buildings or setback changes.
The Franklin County Board opened and closed a public hearing Nov. 25 on a master matrix permit application for the Franklin Oakland 10 site, operated by Summit Fork LLP, and voted to recommend approval.
Unidentified staff summarized the application, saying the front-page checklist passed and that the permit involved "no change to the master matrix or setback maps." The application adds 10 animal spaces using reconfiguration of existing housing; staff and board members confirmed there are no new buildings associated with the change. No members of the public appeared for the hearing.
Following the staff report, the board moved and seconded to close the public hearing and then moved to approve the recommendation for the master matrix permit. The motion passed; board members indicated approval by voice votes.
Board members noted this item resembled previous small reconfiguration requests the board has approved and did not require additional conditions beyond standard permitting review. The board did not record any amendments or conditions during the meeting.
The approval advances the application to the next administrative step in the county’s animal-feeding operation review process. The board did not receive public testimony opposing the application at the hearing.
Because the transcript does not include permit paperwork or precise permit numbers beyond the meeting checklist notation, details such as permit expiration dates, permit fees or enforcement conditions were not discussed on the record and are therefore not specified here.
