Multiple residents raised health, safety and property-value concerns about nearby large-scale wood/brush burning. Robert Bennett (District 2) described smoke, ash and an out-of-control fire affecting his home and tenant and urged the board to consider a model ordinance; Catherine Bennett (realtor) warned the activity harms property values and urged removing industrial-scale burning as a zoning special exception. Online commenters and a county official exchanged brief process notes; the public input session closed.
