Agenda Item No. 1. The meeting was called to order at 7:35 P.M. by the Chairman, Mr.
Fisher.
Agenda Item No. 2. SP-82-9. Augusta Lumber & Supply, Inc. To locate a permanent
sawmill on 27.930 acres zoned RA. Property is located on the western side of Rt. 712 opposite
Rt. 813 and approximately 600 feet northwest of the Southern Railroad tracks at the existing
Augusta Lumber site near North Garden. County Tax Map 99, Parcel 49A. Samuel Miller District
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on May 5 and May 12, 1982.) .
Mr. Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning, presented the following staff report:
"Request: Permanent sawmill
Acreage: 27.93 acres
Zoning: RA Rural Areas
Location: Property, described as Tax Map 99, Parcel 49A, is located on the
west side of Rt. 712 about a quarter of a mile north of the Southern
Railroad
Character of the Area: This property is developed with a nonconforming
sawmill and lumber yard. A single-family dwelling exists immediately
adjacent to the north. The closest single-family dwelling to the south
is owned by the apPlicant. In 1978, a special use permit was approved
for the location of a sawmill on property to the south and west.
Staff Comment: The applicant proposes to construct a 31,165 square foot
drying kiln which would have capacity of 405,000 board feet in the
pre-dryer and 405,000 board feet in the dry kilns. Heat would be provided
from a 1,200 square foot wood-fired boiler plant, which would be
housed separately. Waste from the existing milling plant would fuel
the boiler plant.
Currently some lumber is air dried on-site, which requires a 90 day
storage, compared to 30 days for kiln drying. Recently, due to changes
in European import regulations, the applicant has been trucking oak
lumber to other plants for kiln drying and then returning the lumber
to the site to await shipment. On-site kiln drying would reduce truck
traffic.
