Minute of the Richland County Board of Adjustments Committee Meeting
Thursday, July 01, 2010
Item # 1 The Chairman Sebranek called the
meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. Those present were Larry Sebranek, Allen
Rippchen, Gilman Moe, Tom McGlynn, Harriet Pedley, Ralph Bailey, Kevin Bailey,
and Cheryl Dull.
Item #2 Pedley stated she posted the agenda
in the Richland Observer for two weeks and on the bulletin board in the
courthouse. Motion by Moe, seconded by Rippchien to approve the publication and
agenda. Motion carried.
Item #3 Sebranek asked if there were any
additions or corrections to the June 3, 2010 meeting minutes. Hearing none, the chair approved them as
mailed.
Start of Public
Hearing 1:01 pm.
Item #4 The board heard a petition of Ralph
and Kevin Bailey to request a variance to the Land Division Ordinance required
width of an easement being sixty-six feet (66) wide to thirty-five (35) feet
wide in Section 31 of Willow Township. The want to split their land between
themselves and the configuration of the two lots means that one brother will
have to grant an entrance easement to the other. The existing driveway enters on the County
Hwy NN and is 35 feet in width. This
existing driveway will be the easement. Presently
there is a creek on one side of the driveway and a spring on the other where it
meets the county road which restricts the ability to widen it to sixty six
feet. The Township provided a letter
that they have no problems with the request. Pedley reported that the following
neighbors contacted the office and stated that they had no problem with their
request: David Teiwes, Mary Lou Hanold
Steven Post. One neighbor, Leo Procknow,
called and stated he was against the variance request because he believes the
Bailey brothers plan on further subdividing their property and more land owners
would be using the easement to enter onto County Hwy NN.
Gilman Moe stated he wanted
to abstain from the vote because he is the Willow Township Chairman. Motion by Rippchien,
seconded by McGlynn to approve the variance request after all the members
reviewed the packet of information which contains the three criteria
demonstration, maps, photos and application. Motion carried.
Item # 5 The Jones were not in attendance to
present their petition to request a variance to the required parcel size of 5
acres in the Agriculture/Residential zoning district to 4 acres in Section 28
of Marshall Township.
Motion by Rippchien, seconded
by Moe to table the request. Motion
carried.
Item # 6 No report.
Item # 7 Next meeting to be August 5th
at 1:00 pm. Motion to adjourn by Sebranek, second by McGlynn. Motion carried.
Minutes respectfully
