Township weighs higher court ruling on sawmill case
Supervisor Dan Abramson said the township may seek a ruling from a higher court and attorney Thomas Leslie offered to handle the case. Residents appealed Pratt's ruling after a March 29 hearing granting a permit for a 70 by 170 foot industrial building. Pratt ordered another hearing and later found a sawmill is not listed as a conditional use in the industrial zone. Residents argued for zoning board referral. Pratt's decision supported their view and they praised the zoning ordinance's neighborhood protections.
