County residents seek compromise on truck parking
Golf Acres and T-Bone Estates residents met with Finney County commissioners to press for a compromise on truck parking and animals on properties. They cited devaluation concerns from trucks and traffic, while others urged more semitrailer parking. District zoning bans heavy vehicle parking in residential areas, but many locals believed they could park there when buying homes. Teresa Southern proposed limiting to one truck per residence and cleaning up oil and barrels in the area.
