MINUTES
Chairman Howell called the regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals to order at 6:30 p.m. at the Genoa Charter Township Hall. The Pledge of Allegiance was then said. The following board members were present constituting a quorum for transaction of business: Mike Howell, Steve Wildman, Barbara Figurski and Kevin Brady. Also present was staff member Adam VanTassell and 3 persons in the audience.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Wildman to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
08-06…A request by Steven Schwartz, Section 6, 2250 and 2260 Grand River Howell, for a parking lot variance to construct an ALDI Food Market.
An e-mail dated 4-18-08 addressed to Adam VanTassell from Robert Block, Livingston County Administrator was read into the record as follows:
"Adam please be advised that Livingston County has an agreement with the prior owner to share the cost of the Drive relocation. While the County does not object to the proposed development, Livingston County strongly recommends any action to grant waivers be conditioned on the relocation of the Driveway to align with Golf Club Road. This realignment is essential to insure the substantial reduction of the driveways currently on Grand River, and also correct the geometrics and improve the operational safety of the intersection."
Moved by Brady, supported by Figurski, to approve case #08-06 located at 2250 and 2260 Grand River to grant a 16' parking lot variance for a 4' setback. The finding of fact is the irregular shape of land and changing right-of-way along Grand River. This approval is contingent on completion of the County driveway alignment with Golf Club Road. The motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Brady, supported by Wildman, to approve the March 18th, 2008 Zoning Board of Appeals minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Brady to adjourn the meeting at 6:46 p.m.
Respectfully submitted:
Kelly VanMarter
