Johnsonburg resident Cory Barnett was approved to begin his crew milling business at his residence last night at the Ridgway Township Zoning Hearing Board meeting.
Barnett applied for a special request to ordinance 43 to operate a small milling machine in his garage for part-time work, as well as a hobby.
Barnett explained details of his request by stating that the machine is a table-top milling machine that is 2-feet wide.
"I have talked to a person at PCC in Wilcox, and because I work in the woods and there are slow times – this could be a way to earn extra money," said Barnett. "I used to be in the milling business, but I didn't like the atmosphere."
Barnett assured to the board that the work will be done by himself. He also assured that there won't be much noise.
The board voiced concern about the types of material and the amount of waste material created.
"The biggest diameter I will be working with will be about 5/8 inch, and basically all I will be doing is poking a hole in the piece," said Barnett.
As far as waste, Barnett noted there will be no visible waste to passers by or neighbors.
"I will ask PCC for an empty bulk pack so they can ship my waste with their waste," Barnett said.
