Donna Ash updated the Bennington Township Planning Commission Board on the issue of Eric Lemieux’s Lot Line Adjustment Application Number: PLLA21-025. She presented to the board a letter from Lynn D. Bowne, Bennington Township’s Attorney, stating the two properties in Eric Lemieux’s Application (#PLLA21-025) are not contiguous and are zoned differently (one is in a subdivision and zoned residential and the other is zoned A-2 Agriculture). Therefore the two properties are unable to be combined. At the Bennington Township Board’s meeting on August 2, 2021, the Township Board voted against approving Eric Lemieux’s Lot Line Adjustment Application Number: PLLA21-025. No action by the Bennington Township Planning Commission was taken.
Moved by Larry Johnson to approve Application for Land Division # PLD21-0028 by Shawnee Creek Farms, LLC of 5307 Morrice Rd., Owosso, MI 48867.
