There were several people in attendance. Most were concerned with the proposed new zoning book and map.

Mr. Joe Bias explained the process in making the changes to the zoning book and map.

Mr. James Winkel had a list of several items regarding the new zoning book and map. The trustees went over these items. Mr. Winkel also felt that all the changes weren’t itemized so that you would know what changes were being made.

Many of the people felt that the meetings for the zoning book were not publicized well enough for the residents to know what was going on. They felt it should have been advertised more than in the newspaper legal section. The trustees said we followed the Revised Code on everything, but agreed that in the future we may be able to do something else in order for people to know about these meetings.

Mr. Riley suggested putting the proposed book and map on line.

Mr. Jeff Scheid from Erie County Homeowners was concerned with the lot sizes proposed. He felt 2 acres lots in agricultural was too large.

Mr. Ray Thom feels that if there is sewer and water on a lot there is no reason to increase lot sizes.

There were several other remarks made about the zoning book and map. Several residents do not want to see a zoning map change on their property. The trustees said to give them a list of parcels and what they want them to be.

The trustees discussed the zoning book and decided to make several changes to the proposed zoning book and to keep our present map for now. After the discussion and the changes were made the following Resolution was made:

Mr. Gary Pooch moved to pass Resolution 2009-15 adopting the new amended zoning book and keeping our current map as is for now. Mr. Timothy Riesterer seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Pooch- yes, Mr. Riesterer-yes and Mr. Bias – yes.

The new zoning book will in effective in 30 days, as long as no one files a petition.

Chief Keimer gave his report. He said that the dispatch change, from Huron to the Sheriff, is to begin tonight for the third shift only for now.

Keith Kreager asked for questions for Rural Water. There was none. It was mentioned that there was concern with the property at 112 Norwood being condemned.

Tom Johnson gave a zoning report. He mentioned that there was only a problem with the weeds being too high at 112 Norwood; there was nothing about this property being condemned. The weed issues have been resolved.

Jim Neill gave his Road/Cemetery Report. Vandalism in the cemetery was discussed. Jim went over the East and West end Homegardner Rd projects.

Joe Bias met with a salesman about the micro sealing we had done. The salesman said that it was ok and that the cracks were to be expected.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch, to pay A. Bonamase Contracting, Inc. $2700 for 90’of 30” storm sewer that was installed along Maple Ave. Vote: all ayes. Mr. Riesterer said this would be part of the money we agreed to pay toward this project.
