Old Business: None
New Business:
Gary Merritt wanted to know about setbacks for potential new construction on the township building site. This site is zoned R-1. The existing building has been there since the ‘50s. If they improve the existing building they need no special approval. If they want to build a new building there they would need a special use permit. They would need a 25 ft. rear yard and the building can’t be located closer than 75 feet from the center line of the road. Side yards need to be 10% of the site, with a minimum of 6 feet. If it is closer than 75 ft from the centerline of the road, they would need to get variance from the board of zoning appeals. Principal and accessory buildings can not cover more than 30% of the lot. There is another site that the township could put this building on.
Lecompton water tower. It will need a special use permit to be sited in R-1. If the structure exceeds 30 feet it will need a variance.
Jeff moved, Paul seconded to adjourn the meeting at 7:55.
