Dundee Township Planning Commission
Regular Meeting - Minutes
June 18, 2008
Chairman Art Bronson called the June 18, 2008 meeting to order. After the Pledge of Allegiance the roll call found these people present: Jeanette Brockman, Ed Proctor, Chuck Ruehs, David Sedlar, George Horkey and Building Inspector Bob Madaski. Gary Lazette was an excused absence.
Ms. Brockman made a motion with support from Mr. Proctor to accept the minutes to the May meeting as printed. They were unanimously accepted.
Mr. Ruehs made a motion to accept the agenda as written, Mr. Sedlar seconded his motion and all were in favor.
There were no communications and no public present.
Scheduled Business:
A. Building Permits - Due to a missed communication there were no building permits submitted for the boards review.
B. MCPC recommendations for proposed zoning revisions - Chairman Bronson noted that items B & C were closely related so we could cover them together. He received the rewrites from Jeff Purdy of LSL for the Wood Furnaces and Wind Generators. After going over the revisions Chairman Bronson asked for a motion to recommend to the Township Board to accept them as revised. Mr. Proctor made the motion to recommend to the Township Board to pass these amendments, Mr. Sedlar supported his motion and all were in favor.
C. Discuss information on Outside Woodburning Furnace - (See above)
D. Discuss new proposed zoning revisions - Chairman Bronson handed out a copy of the reorganization of our zoning ordinances to all members present. He asked everyone to go over the handout to look for any mistakes as far as typos, spelling mistakes and anything we thought looked out of place. We will cover it at the next regular meeting.
E. Discuss rezoning request - Mr. Madaski said that a Marjorie Giznsky approached him and wanted to open up a pet rescue business on property on M-50. Her application said that she was applying for rezoning but it was determined that all she needed was a special approval. As long as she keeps her operation back 300' or more from the roadway because the front of the property is zoned residential. Mr. Madaski said that he would inform her that she needed to fill out a different application. Chairman Bronson stated that just before the next regular meeting would probably be a good time to hold the public hearing.
With nothing further to discuss Ms. Brockman moved to adjourn, Mr. Proctor supported this motion, it was unanimously accepted. Meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
