All residential zones require water and sewer in the text for R-1,2, and 3.
Churches are conditional uses in the residential zones.
Do we want to keep to the developmental standards next and then on to the maps which she wants to work on township by township.
Board decided that they will do the development standards and have 2 townships to look at for maps if they have time to do those after the development standards.
The maps are being drawn with actual property lines in GIS and the board will discuss those before having the public comment on them. The idea is that it will make things clearer for the public to know what is happening in their area.
No public wanted to talk on this.
Dennis Kraus, Jr. talked about Mark McCormack leaving for a job in another state. They have Nicole Daily covering things now. They discussed posting the position for at least 7 days. They will have to get the PAC committee to give them the go-ahead to fill it. Thatcher said that all the PAC needs is to know from the board that they intend to fill the Planning director position. Board approved filling the Plan Director position. Kraus, Jr. said that they have an in- house applicant for this position. Nicole Daily has been there almost 11 years.
Baudendistel said the county encourages promoting internally if possible.
