A

Thank you kelly, and we previously voted to allow mr featherlin and mr dunnell to participate via zoom, so we've already taken care of that business. Any public comment.

A

All right scene, none we'll move to approval of the minutes. Item number three: I'd entertain a motion to approve the october 20th 2021 minutes, mr payton, miss peters, all those in favor say aye. All those opposed same sign. Okay, great. Thank you.

A

We'll go into uh item number four um I'll, entertain a motion to combine and approve these reports. The building report september 2021 and building report october 2021, mr ekkoff all right, miss hudson. All those in favor say aye. All those opposed same sign.

A

Great we've got those uh combined and approved uh number five zoning zba case number 21-11.

C

Would you like any information on the building reports.

A

Like any detail, you've got the numbers in front of you. I believe.

C

A

Let's get some highlights, we had.

C

A highlights for september uh 110 permits issued with a revenue of 33 757, and for october we had 96 permits issued with a revenue of 94 567, which was our largest month this year. I believe that is attributed to uh five industrial permits. Equally are totaling 59 142 in.

A

Great revenue, questions.

A

All right, thank you. Dell, no problem now to zba case number, 21-11.

A

I'll, let you handle that.

C

I will uh anita or machine kelly put that on the board. This is a request by uh the owen, hertz estate and steven hertz to re-zone a 3.11 acre, parcel and divide that off of the 53 acre farm uh nope. You were on the right slide before.

B

I'm getting there.

C

There we go okay, highlighted in red on your screen. Is the 3.11 acre parcel contains a home, a couple of corn cribs and a tool shed um owen hurts uh is stephen, hurts his father. He passed away. The hertz family would like to sell the home but keep the farmland, um so they would like to uh divide this off. It does not meet the qualifications for a farmstead exemption, which would have been the easier way to divide it off, because the house was built in 2004 and to qualify for that exemption.

C

The house had had to be there before 2002., so rezoning was the only option for them and a2 was the category chosen as agricultural estate. This was heard monday night by the zoning board of appeals. There were no objectors and the zoning board of appeals recommends the approval 5-0.

A

Open to questions all right, any questions from the group here today.

A

Okay, we've got a motion for mr snipes second from miss brian all, those in favor, say hi opposed same sign. Great thank you item number, six hungry hill subdivision preliminary and final platt bill. Yes,.

C

This is a minor subdivision located in saint anne township. It's a one lot 6.49 acre lot. If you look at the map there on the screen, the area outlined in red is the hungry hills subdivision.

C

The gentleman who owned that also owns the area in blue, which is a landlocked parcel, has no access to any roadway.

C

The area outlined in red is already a parcel already has a home on it, and no part of that is changing other than to establish an easement on the driveway from vanderkarr road down to that larger parcel to allow access to it and making it no longer a landlocked parcel.

C

This went out for its 45-day review period as required, where it is sent out to the county, highway, engineer, township, engineer, school district and any other government agencies that might be involved in that area. If there's a park district and such there were no no objections and only one comment came back mark rogers, our county highway engineer asked that a statement be put on the plat stating that the easement is a private easement and is not a public road that will be maintained by either the county or the township.

C

um That comment has been put on the plat. I don't know if it's on your screen, because it just came in yesterday, but it is there and that will be the plot that will be recorded.

C

So what we're asking today is approval of both the preliminary plat and the final plat so that it can be forwarded to the county board.

A

Great any questions about this presentation.

A

All right chairman.

D

I understand the statement about the county, not having any. uh I understand the county not having any responsibility, it's not their road, so they're not going to maintain it.

D

Do we have the authority to vote on adding the word township on there, or should they be the ones who would uh see where I'm going with that we're voting on something that.

C

I do, but you have planting authority, so you can put whatever you'd like on this planet within it.

D

So we can restrict the townships from this committee meeting. Yes,.

C

I mean the township if the township would like to take it over. First of all, it's an easement, not a formal road, okay, so if they would like to in the future turn it into a road, they certainly could, and that would nullify this statement if that were to hap, were to occur, but they would have to actually take action to do that, got it.

D

A

Mr chair, mr chairman, yes, mr featherlin.

C

Hey dale, there's no way they could re-subdivide that even more is there that they have to come back to do that, they would have to come back to do that.

C

This is a legal non-conforming parcel zoned a1, so it is allowed to be there, as is, if they were to divide it further, then it would have to be rezoned to a different category, so the county board would see it again if that were to occur. Okay, thank you.

A

Any other questions comments.

A

All right, seeing none had to entertain a motion to approve this okay, make that motion miss hudson mr featherling seconds it all. Those in favor say: aye.

A

All those opposed same sign all right, great london number, seven historic preservation.

C

um Mr chairman, those are being moved to the executive committee next week on the 23rd. Am I correct, mr mr wheeler.

A

Okay, great so that takes care of number seven number: eight old business.

A

Anyone with any old business.

A

E

Snipes not really a business. I just want to just ask a question for clarification when we uh deal with permitted use or permitted use, building or zoning in those particular areas, uh is the use uh attached to the zoning of that area, meaning that, if you zone it residential, the permitted use will have to be along the lines of residential versus. If you did commercial or industrial, then those permitted uses would be within the scope of whatever is commercial or residential, and outside of that would be a special use or a variance.

C

The zoning district dictates what permitted uses are allowed so, depending on the district you're in there is a list in our ordinance of what uses are permitted within that district. So by example, our one single family district, permitted use would be a single family home. Another permitted use would be a church or religious institution.

C

Those are permitted by right. If you have r1 zoning, you can do those there. All you need is a building permit. You do not have to ask for rezoning or special use permit. Each zoning district also has a list of special use permits that are allowed within that district. Those are uh those are uses that are still compatible.

C

Excuse me compatible in that district, but there may be some nuances to them, such as a drive-through that might disturb the neighbors or gatherings or other things where they need to be scrutinized. A little bit more by the county board before they're approved, maybe even put some conditions on them about hours of operation or things like that to help mitigate any negative effects they may have on the neighborhood. So that would be the special use category if the use you would like to do is not in either of those lists.

C

You cannot do it in that district and you would have to find a district where it is allowed and then you'd re-zone to that district. That.

E

Sounds great, clear, yeah. I wanted to make sure I have something so that way when I I can refer them to this, this video from someone that uh kind of knows. So. Thank you for your answer. You're welcome.

A

Great, thank you any other questions or old business.

A

If not we'll look at new business.

A

Mr kirkstra new business, no, no, no you're! Already on number 10 adjournment, okay, miss hudson seconds what mr kirkstra moved: okay, great all those in favor say: aye.
