Browns Mountain Recycling Mayor Good read the following brief history of the Brown’s Mountain Recycling project for the public and City Council Members: Browns Mountain Recycling never completed the Conditional Use requirements, and the CUP was terminated for not meeting those requirements. In November 2014, City Council approved the CUP permit which required that the conditions of the CUP were met within one year of approval. In May 2022, the City received a call from DEQ asking if Browns held any sort of permits with the City, due to concerns on the use of the property. DEQ then completed a site visit. In June 2022, City Council had a meeting to determine what had been accomplished to satisfy the CUP requirements and nothing had been completed. In October 2023, City Council reviewed the noncompliance with the CUP again. On November 27th, 2023, the City held a Public Hearing concerning the CUP noncompliance and approved an agreement with monthly deadlines to meet in order to come into compliance. In September 2024, City Council rescinded the CUP and required the property to be returned to original state. (Property is zoned Industrial) October 31st, 2024, deadline was the deadline to have the property back to its original state. On November 12th 2024, City Council decided to wait on issuing any fines for the Browns until the meeting on December 9th 2024. On December 9th 2024 City Council approved issuing a citation to Browns since they were out of compliance. 2025 began with the Prosecuting Attorney being involved. More time was given to bring the property into compliance. Then Bill Brown got sick and went on Hospice and the process stopped. In the meantime, the City reached out to DEQ to see what their stance was on the project. Mayor Good said the City received a letter from DEQ saying they are fine with the current condition of the property. Mayor Good explained that since Browns no longer have a CUP in place, the property needs to go back to the original intended use of the property. City Clerk Kyla explained that the property was zoned R3 Residential then it went through Planning & Zoning to make it Industrial. Mayor Good would like to send a letter explaining the property zone and what can be done with the property now. She explained the City Council needed to make a decision regarding next steps on the citation, though. This will also help the prosecuting attorney so he can get his case wrapped up.
