Minutes of previous meeting approved as printed.

I-69 CORRIDOR:

Sue Pigg of Eaton County Community Development shared information on the previous I-69 Corridor Study and shared their goals for this group. Discussion followed on our ideas for our township growth in that area. They will take our master plan and insert into the study final report. Their goal is to have what they collect reviewed and by winter connect all the pieces for the corridor.

REPORTS:

Heard Board of Trustees report from Dan Blair.

Inge Kyler & John Hall gave a report on the Tri-County Planning Workshops they attended. The next step with this group will be more town meetings in November.

ZONING OFFICER:

Kyler moved and Blair seconded to send the preliminary report on a zoning officer to the Township Board. Carried 3-2. Discussion: Slucter feels that it should go with a budget and start up money. Kyler feels there are many parts to this and should not spend the time if the Board is not in favor of an officer. Foulds stated that our zoning ordinances are getting more sophisticated so we need some level of enforcement. Blair said the next step would be how others of similar size and population handle this issue.

BUDGET 2002:

Discussed what they will need for next year and how the sign inventory will be done. Supervisor [St. Clair] said he would start taking pictures of signs in the township.

PUDs:

Jim Foulds presented a new draft. Several corrections were found and he will return with it at next meeting and send a copy to J. Richard Robinson, Township Attorney, for review.

SITE PLAN REVIEW FEES:

Jim Foulds handed out a sample. Copies will be sent to each member.

With no further business Hall moved and Slucter second to adjourn the meeting. Carried unanimously. Adjourned at 8:55 PM.

Linda Towsley, Clerk
