Rezoning request in Merriwether to have Public Hearing tonight


web posted June 11, 2009
MERRIWETHER – A Public Hearing will be held at the Edgefield County Planning Commission on the rezoning of two parcels of property owned by Hagler Systems on West Five Notch Road and the corner of Murrah Road. The parcels are currently listed and were purchased as residential property. Hagler Systems requested to rezone the two lots as Industrial at last month’s meeting.

The two lots, one across the street from the company’s location and the second lots adjacent to the business and connecting to Murrah Road, were bought after the current company purchased the former Batco building. Past requests for rezoning in the Merriwether has been voted down consistently by the Edgefield County Council after their controversial zoning of the area in 2000.

Hagler Systems, according to information available, has no current plans to expand their operation at this time but is requesting the zoning change anyway.

Several local residents in the area are fearful of the zoning change due to the City of North Augusta buying up property in the area in an effort to expand the town limits well into the Merriwether area.

The Planning Commission will consider the rezoning and offer a recommendation to the Edgefield County Council.

Those wishing to offer written or oral comments are asked to attend the meeting which will be held at 6:30 pm tonight at the Edgefield County Council Chambers on the corner of Railroad and Jeter Street behind the Edgefield County Courthouse.

You do not have to sign in to offer comments.
