CONCERNS OVER ESTEB ROAD FIREWORKS ARISE AGAIN

(Wayne County, IN)--Two years ago, plans to build a fireworks storage facility on Esteb Road drew an outcry from residents in the area and contributed to the arrest of Wayne County Auditor Mark Hoelscher, who lives nearby.  The county’s Board of Zoning Appeals rejected the proposal of property owner Gary Wolff early last year.  But, on Wednesday, the issue came up again with Wayne County Commissioners.  Commissioners discussed that approval had been granted for what they call a "barndominum" as a residence only, but they believe the owner still plans to store large quantities of fireworks on site.  Here’s an exchange between County Attorney Ron Cross and the county’s Steve Higinbotham on Wednesday:

 

Cross:  "We really need to know what the end plan is for the property."

 

Higinbotham:  "And that's not the way that person operates."

 

  Wolff has filed a petition for judicial review.
