can overturn the Board of Adjustment & Appeals, and Attorney <br />Brandenburg stated that they cannot; the County Commission, <br />however, may file an action in Circuit Court against their <br />own Board of Adjustments within a certain time period, which <br />period now has expired. <br />Chairman Scurlock did not believe Mr. Herold appeared <br />before the Board of Adjustment. <br />Assistant County Attorney Christopher Paull informed <br />the Board that Mr. Herold has been issued two Cease and <br />desist Orders, both of which he has ignored, and when the <br />original order was issued, Mr. -Herold had every opportunity <br />to appeal to the Board of Adjustment but chose not to. The <br />only proceeding that has taken place before that Board is an <br />administrative interpretation of the Code, which was <br />requested by Zoning Official Dewey Walker, at which time the <br />Board of Adjustment rendered their opinion that the activity <br />of custom cabinet making was not a home occupation. <br />Some discussion followed as to the possibility of <br />requesting a rehearing and reconsideration of the matter by <br />the Board of Adjustment, but it was felt the only option <br />available, if we disagree, is to go to Circuit Court. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked if the Board is saying we want <br />industry carried on in a residential neighborhood. <br />Discussion ensued revolving around the fact that the <br />activity being carried on at the Herold residence is similar <br />to that carried on in many places throughout the county and <br />is generally found acceptable until you have a neighborhood <br />dispute, at which time it erupts into a legal battle. <br />Commissioner Bird believed the basic problem is that <br />there has been some oversight in our ordinance which does <br />not differentiate between activities allowable in a <br />residential district as opposed to an agricultural district. <br />
