§ 50-685. Land clearing.

The zoning officer shall be authorized to develop administrative procedures regulating the use of portable sawmills and woodchippers as land clearing operations in zoning districts A/RR, RR, RR-2 and R. These administrative procedures shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following requirements:

(1)

All logs cut into lumber must come from the property on which the sawmill is located.

(2)

A maximum time, which shall be determined proportional to the acreage to be cleared and/or the amount of timber to be cut, shall be established. The time period shall generally not exceed 30 days but extensions may be granted at the discretion of the zoning officer upon reasonable requests being made.

(3)

The zoning officer shall limit the hours of operation if the location warrants this restriction.

(4)

The proposed location of a portable sawmill shall necessarily include comments from the county forester in an advisory capacity to the zoning officer.
