Rezoning Hearing Turns on Land Use Debate in Yellow Springs
Attorney Richard E. Zimmerman argued for Albert Young to rezone 102 acres of conservation land to agricultural and 5 acres to B-1 commercial on Indian Springs Road near Yellow Springs. County Planner Robert Wirgan opposed the move citing need for topo and erosion study and warning against unnecessary commercial development. Zimmerman claimed high study costs choke farm development while promoting mixed homes and a neighborhood shopping area. He pointed to Frederick City as a model for planned centers as Remsburg of Knoxville pursued rezoning in a separate case.
