Zoning Commission Expects Packed Meeting

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Plan and Zoning Commission meets Monday evening and will hold their meeting in the third floor courtroom at the court house. The courtroom was used last month to deal with the large crowd that wished to address a Conditional Use Permit issue for a 10-station Sport Clay Shooting Range in the Des Moines River Valley. Over a year ago, the Zoning Commission voted to recommend that Conditional Use Permit not be approved. The County Zoning Board of Adjustment did approve the permit. Residents from a rural subdivision near the Ledges State Park have opposed the business. The Zoning Commission will also consider the controversial Des Moines River Conservation Overly District.
