Recycling center loses 1st appeal
In a Thursday night meeting, the Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals upheld a notice of violation ordering the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center to get rid of its outside storage of scrap metal and other materials.
Site manager Bo Killough appealed the letter when it was issued in January after neighbors complained of noise and smell coming from the center.
The letter can still be appealed through the Douglas County District Court.
