THE UPSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DENIED A REZONING REQUEST AT 2009 YATESVILLE HIGHWAY, FORMERLY SWEET RETURNS RECYCLING, FOR A SCRAP METAL RECYCLING BUSINESS, TUESDAY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD RECOMMENDED IT BE REJECTED BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SPOT ZONING.
A GRIFFIN COMPANY SAID IT PLANNED TO CLEAN-UP THE SITE AND OPEN A SCRAP METAL BUSINESS, THE SAME THING IT DID WITH THE SWEET RETURNS PROPERTY IT PURCHASED IN SPALDING COUNTY, BUT NEIGHBORS TURNED OUT IN FORCE AND SPOKE AGAINST IT. THEY HAVE CALLED EPD AND TOLD THE BOARD THE STATE COULD BE COMING TO LOOK AT THE SITE.
CHAIRMAN MAURICE RAINES URGED THE BOARD TO REJECT IT. $3000 IN BACK INVENTORY TAXES IS OWED ON THE PROPERTY AND THE CHAIRMAN SAYS IT IS NOT UP TO CODE AND THE COUNTY PLANS TO TAKE ACTION.
