28, 2007 Regular Meeting minutes Dave Hamann motioned to approve the August 28, 2007 regular
meeting minutes. Debra Wiedman-Clawson seconded. Motion
Carried 4-0. OLD BUSINESS John Lowe asked John Enos to comment. John Enos stated the application is for a contractor storage
yard, there are a few design issues, yet he does not want to spend time on
them. During his initial
analysis he commented on environmental performance standards and that
contractor storage yard as defined in the Zoning Ordinance is singular, not
plural. He continued by
paraphrasing a memo recommending denial that he wrote for the Planning
Commission which he handed out to them tonight.
This parcel is located in the Wellhead Protection Overlay Zone.
Contractor Storage Yards are a use prohibited due to hazardous waste,
thus he is recommending denial. The
Planning Commission can table this agenda item for further research. Attorney for the applicant said the applicant was told his
submittal was satisfactory. He
also wants to know if there are any other issues they need to address before
coming back in front of the Planning Commission. John Lowe commented it may be a mute point if they can’t
get by the wellhead protection issue. John Enos suggested making an application to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for an interpretation of contractor storage yard, singular
or plural. The applicant’s
attorney would need to discuss the wellhead protection issue with Mike
Kehoe, Township Attorney. Applicants Attorney asked if they get through the wellhead
protection issue, can they get a laundry list and be placed on the October
agenda. John Enos answered yes. Jean Root motioned to table the site plan for Lucy Road, LLC
tax ID#4710-01-200-024, proposed contractor storage yard until the applicant
request to be placed on an agenda. Dave
Hamann seconded. Motion
carried 4-0. Proposed
Amendment – Section 17.10 Wireless Communication Facilities John
Enos summarized the proposed amendments and feels they are reasonable and
ready to go to the Board of Trustees for review and comment. Jean
Root asked if the Planning Commission can set a limit on how long an
application can be put on hold. John
Enos said a deadline for no activity? He
will ask Mike Kehoe if a limit can be included in the text, say six months,
on any site plan for that matter. This
would be placed in Article XVIII, Article XX, Article IV and Article III.
Debra Wiedman-Clawson and Annette McNamara will review Zoning
Ordinance for placement. Jean
