County considers private road and business zoning moves
Douglas County commissioners rejected a bid to declare a 1995 road private serving a 25.3 acre Peterson property with three lots planned for two houses. They will back a zoning review to enlarge Yankee Tank Trunk Sewer District No. 2 as 46.7 acres near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive seeks annexation. Local business owners, including East 779 Road users near rock quarries, urge county action to accommodate small operations with conditional use permits while balancing back yard concerns.
