Planning Commission approves temporary asphalt batch plant near Exeter
Summary
Commission approved a conditional‑use permit for Werner Construction to operate a temporary asphalt batch plant in Section 24 (T8 R1) near Exeter for roughly 6–9 weeks; staff will notify township officials and county supervisors before operations begin.
At the Feb. 16, 2016 meeting the Fillmore County Planning Commission held a public hearing and approved a Conditional Use Permit filed by Werner Construction to operate a temporary asphalt batch plant on the North part of Section 24, Township 8 Range 1, within the Hwy right‑of‑way near Exeter. The record states the plant will run approximately six to nine weeks, operating from sunrise to sunset and located off a township road. The zoning administrator noted she would contact the township board and request attendance at the County Supervisor meeting before operations proceed.
The commission closed the hearing and voted to approve the CUP (6–0). The motion passed with no recorded dissent. The minutes indicate the commission required standard coordination with the township and county supervisors and expected conditions to mitigate local impacts.
Next steps: staff to notify the township board and coordinate any required conditions or permits prior to plant operations.
