Mr. Metzger brought the meeting to order at 7:00 PM and asked for a motion to approve the minutes from July 15, 2008.
With everyone having read the minutes and with no further discussion, REGAN STARKEY MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE JULY 15, 2008 ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES AS WRITTEN SECONDED BY LARRY MARKS. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED.
The next item for discussion was the proposed text amendment presented by Zoning Inspector Keith Lasure. Mr. Metzger asked the Board if they had any questions for Mr. Lasure. Trustee Gress explained why it would be good to delete strip mining from both R-R & R-1 Districts. Discussion followed on pros and cons of deleting strip mining from both R-R and R-1 vs. deleting strip mining only from R-1. Discussion followed.
REGAN STARKEY MOTIONED TO INITIATE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO DELETE STRIP MINING FROM R-R AND R-1 DISTRICTS SECONDED BY DALE RIGGENBACH.
Roll call voting went as follows:
Dale Riggenbach - In Favor
Ed Metzger - Not in Favor (Too restrictive – need
to allow businesses in the township)
Regan Starkey - In Favor
Jeff Zucal - Not in Favor (Would like to see
revenue – not opposed to deleting in
R-1 stating there would be fewer
neighbors in R-R districts)
Larry Marks - Not in Favor (Would like to see it
split and only delete in R-1 and would
like to know the revenue)
Bill Ehlers - No in Favor (Feels ZR should have
controls in place regarding land use
and should be used for the greatest
potential use)
MOTION WAS DENIED.
