Our Township Zoning Secretary, Tracy Keller was at the meeting to explain some of the issues with the new proposed zoning book. Joe Bias had some information also and he mentioned that if 10 or less parcels changed then each of them would have to have been notified of any changes.. Since there were actually more than 10 parcel involved we do not need to notify each of them. We do need to have a notice put in the register.

Since the trustees now have the proposed amendments to the zoning book and maps they need to have a public hearing on them.
