Charles Brown of Amis8ville said that the sawmill never has been a problem, was not run on weekends and benefited the community since Digges was providing a needed service and employing local people. Joseph Gardner of Flint Hill also spoke in support of the sawmill, saying it was vital to keep it going.
New Ordinance Or Old
Despite support, the Planning Commission expressed concern about the legality of the sawmill. Commissioner Newbill Miller suggested that the sawmill, and others like it in the county, be handled under the proposed new ordinance when the ordinance goes into effect later this year. Miller agreed that the 1973 Zoning Ordinance was vague, but said that it was not the intent of the original ordinance to allow a sawmill in an agricultural district.
William Fletcher III said that it would be unfair to juihp Digges’ sawmill from the old ordinance to the new. Under the old ordinance, Fletcher argued, Dirges would not have to obtain a special use permit since his mill was “not permanent.”
Miller responded. He said that the Planning Commission was not trying to shtit down the mill, and added that if Digges applied for a special use permit there would be no problem obtaining one.
