Zoning clash tests Kanawha County court role
Kanawha County Court faces opposition from residents over a proposed zoning ordinance while the Planning and Zoning Commission operates as its arm. After a 40 minute closed session, citizens urged shelving the plan, court members considered asking for attorney general guidance, and a proposal arose to form a citizen commission to represent districts. The court also weighed land transfer for Shawnee Reservation and faced shortfalls in federal dredging funds for Cabin Creek, seeking remedy and leadership clarity.
