Neighbors of a planned RV park near Yantis expressed several concerns during a public hearing before Wood County commissioners Tuesday morning.

The Bass RV Park is being developed on the east side of Hwy. 154 just south of Yantis, at the site of a former car wash, which has been razed.

The residents live behind the park to the east, on County Road 1895.

The county has received the required approvals to meet its RV regulations, such as the septic system, water and electric utilities and driveway permit, but commissioners postponed a decision until a later meeting.

Among the concerns expressed were drainage, security, light pollution and sewage, and whether there was rear access to the property.

Park representative Jeff Johnson met with the citizens during a break in the meeting and again afterward.

He explained that two large retention ponds will be installed to address drainage, and some type of security fencing will be around the perimeter of the property, as well as controlled access and no rear access. There will be on-site management, and Johnson said it is planned to be the nicest RV park in the area.
