Page County planning panel approves Higgs Bosch auto-repair special-use permit with fence condition
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a special-use permit for Higgs Bosch auto repair and required a 6-foot solid wooden fence along the western property line; the decision passed by roll call after commissioners and the applicant clarified screening, parking and access details.
The Page County Planning Commission voted to approve a special-use permit for an auto repair/public garage operated by Higgs Bosch, adding a condition that a 6-foot solid wooden fence be installed and maintained along the western property line.
Commissioner (mover) proposed the amendment to condition 13 to require the fence and the commission seconded the motion; roll-call votes recorded Turner: yes; Johnson: yes; Davis: yes; Grech: yes; Burner (chair): yes. Staff had presented a revised site plan and described the proposed screening and planting; the applicant confirmed that inoperable and long-term untagged vehicles would be kept inside the fenced area. As staff noted, site-plan references (items 4 and 14) identify the proposed fence and evergreen screening positions. "I'll do trees all the way around," the applicant said when commissioners asked about screening.
Commission discussion focused on fence placement relative to a shared right-of-way and whether the fence would interfere with access; the applicant said he would coordinate placement after confirming deed/right-of-way details. Commission members also debated whether operating hours should be fixed in the permit; staff and several commissioners preferred not to set specific hours in the SUP, leaving operational flexibility if business needs change. The approval reflects the amended conditions as read into the record and adopted by the roll call.
