A Call to the Public was made with the following response: Todd and Karen Woods- we live across the street at 1096Sunrise Park; it does not block our view of the lake and we have no objection to this variance. Moved by Hensick, supported by Ledford, to deny the petitioners based upon the lack of any new evidence and therefore no distiniction from the petitioner's application at the July 2001 meeting and the action taken by the Board in July. The motion failed as follows: Ayes- Stornant and Hensick. Nays- Staley and Ledford. Moved by Ledford and supported by Stornant, to refer matter to Township Attorney for further legal opinion and table until a reply is received.
