Insurance agency license approved; board signals zoning change to limit vehicle storage in B‑1 district
Summary
Trustees approved a business license for Myia Featherstone Insurance Agency (DBA Farmers Insurance) at 186 Sauk Trail and discussed removing vehicle storage from the B‑1 zoning district; the board said the agency could operate at the site provided vehicles are not stored there.
The board heard a business‑license presentation from Myia Higgins of Myia Featherstone Insurance Agency doing business as Farmers Insurance for premises at 186 Sauk Trail and indicated support for the agency’s operation at that location.
Mayor Terry Matthews asked about vehicle storage at the facility. Ms. Higgins said the business would store vehicles, which prompted the mayor to explain that vehicle storage is a special‑use activity in B‑1 commercial zoning and that an application is on file to remove vehicle storage from the B‑1 district and confine it to industrial zoning. Mayor Matthews said that if the agency or a future occupant chose a different location, they could return to the board; the trustees signaled they were comfortable approving the insurance agency at 186 Sauk Trail while the zoning change is pursued.
The minutes do not record a formal vote denial or approval beyond the board's affirmation during the business license portion; no special‑use permit was granted at the meeting.
