BUSINESS: Proposed
General Ordinance and/or Zoning Ordinance – Litter Ordinance John Enos opened by stating
there have been several complaints regarding papers being delivered when it
is obvious that no one is collecting them.
He suggested reworking the existing general ordinance to satisfy the
problem with relationship to enforcement. Rich Perlberg, 323 E. John Lowe told Rich Perlberg
over a period of time if the papers are not picked up then they scatter and
are unsightly. If the carrier is
paid by the piece there is no incentive to not deliver. Rich Perlberg said they are
paid to pick up the undelivered paper and replace with a new one. Mary Scott, 323 E. Charles Musson, John Lowe said if the
resident doesn’t want the paper they should be put on a do not deliver
list. Rick Fitzgerald, John Lowe suggested putting a
hook on the mailbox, if the resident does not remove the paper it is safe to
assume they don’t want delivery and don’t deliver again.
He thinks this is beyond tolerable.
Some residents leave their homes early and come back late, they
don’t have the inclination to call the paper to be put on a do not call
list. Mary Scott, she has
personally gone out to police for papers lying on the ground. Dan Lowe, Marion Township
Trustee; he called the paper last September; they said the problem had been
addressed. The next time he
checked the papers were still there. He
brought this issue up at a MHOG meeting that is attended by representative
of other townships; they are disturbed by the delivery practice also. John Lowe closed the Call to
the Public. John Lowe asked John Enos to
provide text for the February meeting and asked the people from the papers
to submit any suggestions they have. Jean Root motioned to table
the language for Litter General Ordinance to the February 24, 2009 meeting.
Jim Murray seconded. Motion
carried 5-0. OLD BUSINESS Proposed
Text Amendment – Section 6.07 size requirements for Accessory Structures John Enos
passed out a memo from his office with proposed text based on the ground
floor living space. He noted if
the accessory structure is based on acreage the township may get into a
situation where the structures are so large they look out of place. John Lowe
would like to see a visual on the way it would look using a percentage of
the acreage. Robert
Hanvey has concerns regarding small lots. John Lowe
opened the call to the public. Brian
Brandt, 5152 Dutcher Road; he submitted a letter and the Planning Commission
received the it tonight. He told
the story about being denied because of the square footage of his home on
ten acres, a neighbor with five acres and more square footage could have a
larger structure than him. Ray
Strzalkowski, Les
Andersen, Marion Township Trustee; he is not sure it is a good idea to allow
a large structure if the house is not that big. John Lowe
closed the call to the public. The
Planning Commission would like to see the following at the February meeting. 1)
A visual on
accessory structures based on percentage of acreage 2)
Language
that the calculations based on net acreage 3)
Whether to
use the square footage of an attached garage in the ground floor living
space calculations 4)
How this
would work out using a marginal rate and a fixed rate Jean Root
motioned to table Section 6.07 Accessory Uses and Structures to the February
24, 2009 meeting. Jim Murray
seconded. Motion carried 5-0. Sample

agreement The
Planning Commission is satisfied with the proposed text. Jean Root motioned to send the General Ordinance for Stormwater Management and Maintenance Agreement to the Board of Trustees for preliminary review and comment. If no changes are requested then forward as a reference to the LCDP with Section 6.19 Infrastructure and Concurrency Standards. Jim Murray seconded. Motion carried 5-0. Proposed
