Merritt Monuments Special Exception / Conditional Use Request
Summary
Residents strongly opposed an at-home monument engraving business on Weatherly Road, citing heavy truck traffic, noise, silica dust, and industrial activity in an agricultural area. The board debated whether the operation constituted a home-based business before ultimately approving it as a conditional use with strict operating and opacity conditions over neighbors' objections.
