Coming off a Tuesday afternoon meeting where the Barton County Planning Commission and tow truck operator Larry Marshall hammered out a compromise, the County Commission Wednesday morning OKed rezoning and conditional-use permit allowing Marshall to operate a salvage yard in a rural residential area west of Great Bend. “This reminds me of why I am so proud to be a Barton County resident,” said commission Chairman Shawn Hutchinson, District 3, who attended the Planning Commission meeting a day earlier. “Because when neighbors get together, it doesn’t matter how far we’ve been driven apart, there’s always some common ground that can be found.”
