January 10, 2011
The Harrison Twp. Zoning Commission January meeting was called to order by Chair Mark Coon at 8:00PM. Present were Barbara Younkin, Mark Coon, Dorothy Green, Kelly Spriggs, Joe DeFelice and Carol Balthaser.
Minutes from the November 16, 2010 hearing were read. The following revisions were made to those minutes:
Mark Coon: On voting for the passage of the Pandora Grain Development Plan: Minutes should state that the proposal passed unanimously among those voting with one abstention on record.
Kelly Spriggs: Drawings presented to the Zoning Committee by David Whippel were given to Joe DeFelice for retention. Also Greenlawn’s permit was to repair the red buildings on their site.
With these revisions, the minutes were approved.
OLD BUSINESS
Joe DeFelice stated that Pat Neal has appealed Joe’s zoning violation citation to the Pickaway County Common Pleas Court. In anticipation of resolving this violation, a court approved settlement was reached and will be reviewed in a public hearing by the Harrison Township Trustees on February 7, 2011. The proposed settlement is for 12967 Ashville Pike from Agricultural use only to Contractor equipment and storage yard coupled with some agricultural use. The proposed change would fall under General Business, Section 17.03 (Conditional Uses), Item H which states: Contractor equipment and storage yards, provided adequate fencing and screening devices are installed. A Development Plan, pursuant to Section 11.02.07, shall be required.
Joe stated that Greenlawn has completed construction on their stick built home and has landscaped around it.
Harrison Township Trustees approved the Pandora Grain Development Plan that the Zoning Commission reviewed, modified and approved.
NEW BUSINESS
