Zoning board approves Wigington Tree Service permit for short-term vehicle storage
Summary
Mills County planning staff recommended and the Zoning Board approved a conditional-use permit for Wigington Tree Service to use part of the same Glenwood parcel for temporary vehicle storage, with conditions including a lot split, required permits, code-conforming site design, serviceable-vehicle requirement and prohibition on tree-debris storage.
The Mills County Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a conditional-use permit for Wigington Tree Service to use a portion of the same Glenwood parcel for short-term vehicle storage.
Brandon Wigington told the board he plans to shift his tree-service operations to the middle or end parcel after the impending lot split and seeks space for temporary parking and a small number of trucks. "We don't do logging we don't have a saw anymore I sold all that stuff so just tree service," Wigington said, describing the narrower scope of activity.
After closing the public hearing, planning staff recommended approval of application 26-04 with conditions mirroring those for the trucking application: the owner must complete the lot split, submit any required building permits, design the site per Mills County codes for screening and buffers, ensure that vehicles stored on-site are serviceable and used for the tree-service business, and prohibit bringing tree debris back to the property. The board voted to approve the application on a roll-call vote.
The permit is limited to short-term storage and will include the same enforcement expectations discussed earlier in the meeting. The applicant said he does not plan permanent structures and intends to keep the parcel available for sale if business needs change.
Staff will issue a resolution and follow up with the applicant on lot-split documentation and any necessary permits prior to finalizing the permit.
