Commissioner and residents say heavy trucks would damage recently paved County Road 700 S.
Summary
Commissioner Rick Woodall and multiple residents warned that heavy truck traffic from a proposed quarry would damage County Road 700 S., which the county paid $270,000 to pave, and raised safety concerns for children along the route.
Commissioner Rick Woodall told the Nov. 20 special session his largest concern about the proposed quarry was damage to County Road 700 S., which he said the county had repaved for $270,000.
Residents described frequent wrecks and broken mailboxes on the road and warned that semis and truck traffic associated with a quarry would increase the hazard for children. Woodall said the $270,000 paving investment increased his reluctance to approve a rezoning that would escalate heavy truck use on the route.
Those infrastructure and safety concerns were explicitly cited during debate and factored into the board's motion to deny the rezoning request.
