Item #3            The committee heard the petition from Ron & Denise Ewing to rezone 6.05 acres from Residential-2 to Agriculture/Residential in Section 17 and 20 of Orion Township.  Ron Ewing stated that their property is presently zoned Residential where no farm animals are allowed and they would like to keep their horses there.  They presently own over 5 acres, the minimum for Agriculture/Residential where 4 animal units (2 horses) are allowed.  They presented their photos to the committee and showed where a portion of their property along County Hwy O would be a good place for the horses to keep the grasses down.  Pedley stated that the township has approved the Ewing request and no neighbors were heard from.  Motion by Marshall, seconded by Wiedenfeld to approve the rezoning and pass it to the next available county board session.  Motion carried.
