Public Comments
No comments were made by the audience during either public comment period.
Infrastructure Projects
Commissioner Hawley reported that the Township Board discussed the possible purchase of the adjacent Martin property and would meet with the Township Attorney regarding questions about the proposal. The Commission discussed this matter but took no formal action. Hawley also reported that a new phone system had been installed at the Township, and that the Township website needed to be made accessible to everyone, with someone to be brought in to set it up.
Other Business
Under Master Plan review, the Commission discussed Chapters 6 and 7. Thompson moved to delete Chapters 6 and 7 and Appendices A and B; Hawley supported the motion, and it carried. Commission members noted they would refer to the Zoning Administrator regarding the importance of retaining Chapter 6. A second business item, review of ordinance items, was tabled as the Commission was awaiting items requiring discussion. The Zoning Administrator was not in attendance, and Andy Dotterweich, who handles the Zoning Board of Appeals report, was absent, so no report was given in that area.
Action Items
Commission members are to consult with the Zoning Administrator regarding the importance of retaining Chapter 6 of the Master Plan. The Township Board is to meet with its Attorney regarding questions on the proposed purchase of the Martin property. Someone is to be arranged to set up the Township website for public accessibility. The Commission continues to await ordinance items requiring discussion for a future meeting.
