A view of green grass edging up to a line of 18 wheelers, that's the view Gary Simms has had for twenty years after moving next door to a trucking company.

And while the former trucker says he and his neighbors didn't mind at first, things changed when truck traffic grew to 90 vehicles per day.

'We're just trying to get it changed when we don't have all the dust and the noise and the blowing their horns in the middle of the night," said Simms.

"The cars have to stop when it comes time to pass because they couldn't see the other car the dust was blowing so bad and the little kids ride their bicycles up and down the road up and down the sidewalks and you have concerns with the other vehicles seeing the kids," said Jerry Young.  

The trucking company decided to move to another state, but neighbors are worried with heavy industrial zoning the problems are here to stay.
That's why neighbors are joining together to ask the village for a zoning change so another trucking company can't fill the vacancy.

"They just wanna get the zoning where another trucking company can't come in Another business can come in there but just from heavy industrial to light industrial," said Young who adds, the neighborhood has started up a petition for the zoning with more than 100 signatures.

"We're not trying to keep them (the owners) from making money. you know, we're not trying to do that. we just don't want heavy trucks, heavy annoying loud trucks," said Simms.

"We do need business here and we need it bad. We're not against that," said Doloris Young.

But city officials say, changing zoning is easier said than done.

"We could have the zoning board meet. they would consider all of the neighbors the reasons and then they could change it to residential but if you do that you're gonna deprive the property owner of the use of his property and any court in the land will probably reverse it," said The Village Zoning Inspector Bill Pitts.

For now council members say they're all ears, but they don't believe the dust on this issue, will settle anytime soon.
