continuance of a case concerning a Warsaw excavation business. The business, owned by Dale Custer, has been the center of an ongoing concern by adjacent property owners and board members for several months. Helm presented to the board that Custer was seeking a permit to alter a prior granted permit to allow for a home office occupancy for the excavation business. Custer s new request to the board asks that the permit be altered to allow for two mineral excavation uses to be located on the one property. Custer was ordered by the board at the September meeting to rid the property of any debris. Helm reported that most of the the property has been cleared, however, reports that salvage trucks were seen on the premises stemmed a new line of questioning from the council. “What were those trucks doing out there?” asked board member Robert Beer. Helm answered they were complying with the boards orders to clean up the property.

“Are you sure of that?” asked board member Ronald Sharp. Heim returned, “Do you want to swear my client in? We can establish new precedence if we re going to conduct it this way.” Councilman Bob Sitler had visited the site at the time one of the trucks was exiting the property and another was driving to the rear of the property. Saying he talked to neighbors but could not locate Jerry Newton or Custer for CQjnment, Sitler said, “I don’t hardly think he was hunting mushrooms this time of year. But, I didn’t actually see him dump.” Helm responded, “A salvage operation truck going back in there can raise two inferences. One is he’s dumping, the other is he’s hauling stuff away. You fellows asked us to clean it up; they were hauling stuff away to comply with that... I really resent the board going out and talking to one side to do its investigation and not getting all the facts.” Helm then asked Sitler if he went back with the salvage truck to see what events were taking place.

“I couldn’t drive back in there, ’ he answered. “Well, that’s what got my dander up because you’re inferring one thing with two inferences," Helm responded. The board also questioned Heim about accusations neighbors have made concerning the second business, Newton Excavating, “cutting up cars in the building at the north end of the property.” Custer said he was unaware that was occurring but was prepared to ask Newton to dismiss his business from the property if need be Remonstrators of Custer’s petition also referred to the Newton Excavating business saying he operated into all hours of the night and was responsible for most of the debris. In addition, they asked that some type of screening be placed between the properties. After discussing the case in full, the board agreed accept the petition tions including the elimination of Newton’s business oil tfe premises. In six months the board will inspect the property to see if all other stipulations, those being the planting of a tree barrier. and that the dust problem be effectively maintained.
