In a letter to the Board of County Commissioners, neighbors of the Reynolds Creek Calf Ranch say the price tag on an appeal is the only that prevented them from filing a formal protest to the conditional use permit granted earlier this year. The letter said an appeal would cost $15,000 to $20,000, including the retention of an attorney. County P&Z administrator Mary Huff said the county charges an appeal fee of $3,000 to cover expenses. The P&Z commission fi nalized its decision to grant a confi ned animal feeding operation CUP on Sept. 24, two months after the public hearing.
