Mitchell builder looks to stockpile lumber as prices dip

MITCHELL — A local developer hopes to take advantage of lumber prices with a new warehouse on Mitchell’s south side. During its meeting on Monday, the Mitchell Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for rezoning a plat at 1912 S. Miller St. from urban development to industrial district. The property belongs to Jeremy Jensen and is part of Jensen Design Build. Jensen owns property on the northeast and south of the plat. Commission recommendations are considered by the Mitchell City Council. City Planner Mark Jenniges noted the rezoning is a necessary step so that Jensen’s property next to the building site can be replatted and then considered later by the commission. A building permit is to follow after the plat merge. “That's the purpose of this whole rezone,” Jenniges said. Jensen is building a 220-foot long addition at his 10-acre house fabrication facility.
