PIERRE, (KCCR) — The Pierre City Commission has denied a request for the rezoning of property along U-S Highways 14 and 83 on the north side of Pierre. City Planner Emeline Hoblick says Tom Rounds is looking to buy the property from Lance and Amy Hertel for office and ag chemical storage space…
The Planning Commission approved forwarding the request on to the City Commission despite none of the five adjacent landowners signing a petition in support of the change. Jeri Barnes Bochem spoke in opposition to the request before Commissioners…
Bochem was also concerned about chemical spillage getting into Hilger’s Gulch. Rounds says he doesn’t see the location being high traffic and any runoff wouldn’t be an issue…
The Pierre City Commission voted unanimously to deny the request which, if approved, would have included a conditional use permit to operate the business.
