LABARE REZONING REQUEST:

Mr. LaBare received a building permit in 1997 but did not build at that time. Now he has outgrown his current location and needs more room. In talking to Art [Supervisor St. Clair] he needs to have M-1 (light industrial) zoning. He works on semi trailers. He will have parking to the rear of the new building. One member expressed concern that the rear is a wetland. Mr. LaBare stated that it is not a wetland. There is some buffering already on the site.

Martinez moved and Slucter seconded to set the Public Hearing for the LaBare Rezoning Request from B-1 to M-1 for Wednesday, June 12, 2002 at 7:00 PM. Carried unanimously.

LANDSCAPE/BUFFER:

Martinez moved and Hall seconded to send the Landscape Buffer to the Township Board for adoption. Carried unanimously.

Slucter moved and Blair seconded to set the public hearing for the changes to the Land Use Plan for July 10, 2002 at 7:00 PM. Carried unanimously.
