Summary

The board approved Conditional Use Permit #1435 permitting Dennis and Deborah Johnson to construct a storage building to house a second Lake Shetek First Responders rig on a residentially zoned lot, with two special conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.

The Murray County Board voted to approve Conditional Use Permit #1435 on March 3, allowing Dennis and Deborah Johnson to build and operate a governmental service storage building on the W100' of Lot 1, Block 2, Autumn Blaze Estates, Lake Sarah Township. The structure will be used to store a second rig for Lake Shetek First Responders after the current storage option becomes unavailable.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing Feb. 19 and recommended approval with two special conditions; Jean Christoffel noted the area will remain zoned residential and the permit is conditional. Commissioner Roger Zins moved for approval, Commissioner Loy Woelber seconded, and the motion passed.

The board record indicates the permit was approved with the Planning Commission’s findings and conditions. The action authorizes the construction and use described in the permit; the text of the two special conditions was not detailed in the county minutes presented at the meeting.
