No comments from the audience:
The Board discussed the Freund
Land Exchange and Variance application.
Stephen Freund, 7536 S. Morrice Rd., Morrice, MI
48857, Bennington Township Sec 26, Property # 78-010-400-001, filed a
Dimensional Variance Application # PZBA 12-008.
The application lists the reason for requesting a Dimensional
Variance is “attorney wrote wrong land description on Quit Claim Deed”.
Moved by Frank Gregory to not
approve the Dimensional Variance Application # PZBA 12-008 as due to the
fact the process to allow a 13.33 acre parcel would require a Land Division
Application in addition to the Variance Request which has not been received
and also there is no extenuating circumstance to indicate a need for a
variance from a 2.5 maximum acre limit.
Seconded by Bill Nash.
Motion carried.
Moved by Dick Demerly to approve the Application of a PA 116 Agreement, application # 1208, by Kevin A. and Kerry R. Dutcher. Seconded by Frank Gregory. Donna Ash abstained from voting and discussion. Motion carried.
The Board received from Rowe Engineering a notice of an educational opportunity for new zoning and planning standards.
The next Bennington Township Planning Commission meeting date will be on October 25, 2012.
Moved by Dick Demerly to adjourn the meeting at 7:58 PM. Seconded by Bill Nash. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted:
Bill Nash, Secretary
