Decatur Steel tells board mitigation is improving and warns immediate shutdown would cost jobs
Summary
Decatur Steel's representatives said mitigation measures are ongoing and asked the board to avoid immediate revocation, warning that shuttering operations would eliminate jobs and requesting at least six months to cease operations if ordered to stop.
Decatur Steel's attorney and the company representative told the board the company has been making mitigation efforts and that those efforts are producing improvements, according to testimony.
Ben Bailey said that "Decator Steel is making ... conscious efforts to reduce the noise levels and address the weeding issues and appearance issues on the property," and he reiterated that the narrow focus of the hearing was alleged hours-of-operation violations, which he said had not occurred during the interim. The applicant, Seth, warned that an immediate revocation would terminate operations and jobs and stated the company would need time to stop operations: "we would request at least um we understand that to shut down operations ... would require at least six months to stop operations." Bailey and the applicant indicated they would accept reasonable conditions if the board decided not to revoke the special exception.
Board members said they would consider agreed stipulations and also discuss enforcement routes handled by other municipal bodies.
