In other planning matters, Luke told the Supervisors that Keith Curry at Peola Mills had some property that was designated as “flood plain” on the county zoning map.” He’d like to have it rezoned for agriculture.”
George Davis said that past flooding had deposited nearly 25 feet of gravel over that land. “There’s enough rock on it to have a quarry. The Supervisors agreed. They decided not to grant the rezoning.
Don Askew, resident engineer for the Highway Department, told the Supervisors that he’d received confirmation on the secondary road fund allocation. “We will have $502,096, an increase of $11,011 over last year.”
“That doesn’t keep up with inflation,” one of the Supervisors commented. “Hardly,” Askew agreed, shaking his head.
The engineer said $256,016 would be spent for construction improvements and the rest would be used for maintenance, such as mowing.
