Broken Bow council approves conditional use permit for SG Concrete Pros with conditions

The Broken Bow City Council approved a conditional use permit for SG Concrete Pros Inc. to operate a commercial business at 1451 North 17th Ave in an A-1 (agricultural) zoning district following a public hearing on Oct. 22.

Zoning Administrator and Planning Commission member Jacob Holcomb told the council the Planning Commission completed its review, sought neighbor input and recommended approval with three conditions: remove construction and demolition materials, trash and cut trees from the vicinity within 90 days of council approval; erect and maintain a fence on the north property line separating the business from the adjacent residential property; and prohibit storage or processing of crushed concrete on the property.

Neighbor Breanna Kaup of 1505 North 17th Ave expressed concern that the property remain a single-family residence. Holcomb said the commission reviewed that point and noted the A-1 zoning already requires maintaining the single-family-residence status in that district.

The council opened the public hearing at 6:11 p.m., closed it at 6:16 p.m., and then voted to approve the conditional use permit with the three Planning Commission recommendations. The motion to approve was moved by Councilmember Luke Wassom and seconded by Councilmember Paul Holland and carried on a roll-call vote.

The approved conditions are incorporated into the permit as stated. The council did not record any dissenting votes during the motion. The council did not specify additional enforcement timing beyond the 90-day cleanup timeline laid out by the Planning Commission.
