The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners is looking at efforts to keep trash off the county’s roads and highways. District 1 Commissioner Steve West introduced an ordinance amendment at the Jan. 5 meeting that would require commercial trash transfer trucks to ensure their trucks are completely covered. “This would force large tractortrailer trucks coming out of the landfill to roll their tarps back up and to cover their trailers,” West said. “A lot of the trash you see up and down the highways is caused by the trucks not covering their trailers after leaving the landfill.” West made a motion to call for a public hearing at the Feb. 2 meeting. It was seconded by District 3 Commissioner Benny Carter, and passed with a 5-0 vote.
Commissioners also:
• Approved a request by ZP Group, LLLP to rezone 11.63 acres at 7595 Highway 92 and 100 Queens Way from R-40 and Light Industrial to General Commercial and RM-16 (Multi-Family Residential) for a mixed use development of commercial and residential apartments. The Board also approved the request for concurrent variances related to reducing the front setback to 25 feet and to allow a 25-foot wide planted evergreen screening/transition buffer between dissimilar zoning districts. • Approved appointing Commissioner Corey Ragsdale to the position of vice chair. • Heard Commissioner Richard Weatherby make the following appointments: Loriann White, Cemetery Preservation Committee; Terry Meier, Cherokee Recreation and Parks Advisory Board; Raymond Gunnin, Fire Code Appeals Board; Larry Lusk, Impact Fee Appeals Board; Chris Van Zant, Planning Commission; Jason Daniel, Wrecker Service Advisory Board; and Robin Hunt, Zoning Board of Appeals.
