Environment - Plan Commission rejects request to move Wednesday's meeting to a larger location
Pam Tharp of the Richmond Palladium-Item reports today:
LIBERTY, Ind. -- The Union County Area Plan Commission has rejected a request to move its meeting scheduled for Wednesday on livestock zoning rules to a larger location.The plan commission will consider an amendment to its one-sentence livestock zoning ordinance to govern large feeding operations when it meets at 7:30 p.m. at the Union County Health Center, 6 W. South St.
Randy Hartman, a member of Concerned Citizens for Union County, asked area plan executive director Peggy Vannoy to move the meeting to a larger place.
The last meeting was held in the Union County High School auditorium and was attended by about 100 people. The April meeting with 100 people at the health center was standing room only, with several dozen residents standing throughout the meeting because there were no more chairs.
Hartman said he thinks more people may attend this meeting than the last one.
Vannoy rejected Hartman's request to move the meeting, saying the meeting's purpose is for the plan commission to vote on the proposed amendment posted last week on the plan department's Web site.
