Commission recommends extended home-occupation permit for tree‑cutting business in Springvale Township
Summary
The commission recommended approval of an Interim Use Permit for an extended home occupation to allow AJ Eich Construction to store equipment and dispatch for tree‑cutting and snowplowing from a 3.39‑acre property; conditions include hours, no customers on site and maintained screening.
Applicant Andy Eich described AJ Eich Construction as a field-based tree‑cutting and snowplowing business that would use the property as a storage and dispatch location only. Trina Bergloff confirmed the site is zoned Agriculture/Residential and occupies 3.39 acres. Eich said no customers would visit the property, no retail sales would occur on site, and business vehicles typically depart at 8:00 a.m. and return by 3:00 p.m.
The commission attached nine conditions including hours of operation (Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.), no on‑street parking, vegetative screening to minimize visual impact, and maintenance of noise and dust at levels that do not unreasonably interfere with neighbors. The motion to recommend approval carried unanimously (moved by Tim Swanson; second by Lyle Reynolds).
