Two sawmills located in the town need to apply for rezoning in order to be in compliance with the county zoning regulations.\u00a0This issue is at the county level and the county has sent letters to the sawmills notifying them that sawmills are not allowed in their current zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Comment\/Open Forum<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several property owners expressed concern over the letters sent by the county concerning the wildwood trail.\u00a0One resident suggested no parking signs posted on 10th Avenue near the wildwood trail since farm equipment cannot get through the road if cars are parked on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A town resident expressed concern regarding the sawmills in the town. The sawdust is blowing onto their deck, so much so it needs to be swept daily. The sawdust also blows into the horse pastures, and in their horses eyes.\u00a0The smell of the sawmill is also a nuisance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
