Also present was Township staff member Adam VanTassell and approximately 5 persons in audience.

Moved by Figurski, supported by Perri, to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
The call to the public was made with no response.
09-12…A request by Chris and Christine Axer, Section 15, 2383 Itsell Road, for a size variance to construct an addition to an existing detached accessory structure in the front yard.
A call to the public was made with the following response: Veronica and John Engerer-2775 Itsell Road- They lack parking and they have enough structures. They do not seem to be concerned about enough parking. The nice garage that they built is a 4 car garage and they have an attached 2 car garage. They are parking in our yard and they are turning around in the neighbors. When we did get the first letter, we approached Mrs. Axer about it they said that they are just rebuilding what was there. Our main focus is the parking. They keep adding buildings and putting a burden on the neighbors.
Moved by Perri, supported by Wildman, for a variance of 400 sq.ft. to add on to a detached accessory structure totaling 1600 sq.ft. The practical difficulty is the lot existing prior to the zoning, well location and septic location. Conditioned upon the addition being guttered and no living or manufacturing in the detached accessory structure. Motion carried unanimously.
09-13…A request by Donnie and Jeff Bettes, Sec. 22, 3430 Pineridge Lane, for a side yard variance to construct addition.
Moved by Wildman, supported by Perri, to approve case # 09-13 at 3430 Pineridge Lane for a side yard variance of 1 foot with a setback of 9 feet conditioned upon the structure being guttered. The practical difficulty is the topography of the lot. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Perri, supported by Wildman, to approve the July 21, 2009 Zoning Board of Appeals minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
