Three Oaks Township Tuesday, August 29, 2006 The regular meeting of the Three Oaks Township Planning Commission was called to order at 7:02 pm by Vice-Chair Snyder. Roll Call was taken with members: Jackson, Klute, Kramer, LaLone, Mangold, Mitchell and Snyder present, (Seifert arrived after Roll Call) and Miciunas absent. There was no public comment. Secretary Mangold presented the minutes of both Tuesday, July 25, 2006 regular meeting and the Tuesday, August 22, 2006 Public Hearing of the Zoning Ordinance rewriting. A motion by Klute, supported by Kramer, to accept the minutes of the July 25, 2006 regular meeting minutes as presented. The motion was approved 7-0. A motion by Mitchell, supported by Klute, to accept the minutes of the August 22, 2006 Public Hearing as presented. The motion was approved 7-0. Under Old Business, Mangold informed the Planning Commission of the status of a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Three Oaks Township Board of Trustees for a moratorium on any matter requiring a decision of the Planning Commission until the approval of the proposed new Zoning Ordinance or November 30, 2006 which ever occurs first. Mangold reported that at the Three Oaks Township Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, August 14, 2006, the Board of Trustees, under legal advice from Township Attorney Scott Dienes, took no action on the recommendation. The reasoning given for the lack of support for a moratorium was that it was not a health or public safety issue and that allowing a moratorium could subject the Township to legal challenges. The Planning Commission discussed setting a date for a work session with Zoning Ordinance Consultant Charles Eckenstahler. The purpose of the work session would be to allow members to ask questions concerning the rewriting of the Zoning Ordinance in a time frame that usually is not available in a regular meeting session. A motion by Jackson, supported by Klute, to hold a work session with Charles Eckenstahler on Wednesday, September 6, 2006 at 7:00 pm, with a alternate date of Tuesday, September 19, 2006 Under New Business the Planning Commission discussed the relationship of our proposed ordinance under the PUD (Planned Unit Development) section to a Site-Condo Ordinance. Mangold reported that he has received a sample of a Site-Condo Ordinance and that the Three Oaks Township Board of Trustees have approved the Township Attorney Scott Dienes and Zoning Ordinance Consultant, Charles Eckenstahler meeting to discuss a possible Site-Condo Policing Ordinance. Mangold also reported that a Special Land Use Permit request for a dog kennel and boarding has been withdrawn. The Planning Commission then considered the reapplication of a PUD by Terry Maloney for 4980 Spring Creek Road to be known as Three Oaks Hills. Mr. Maloney presented the Planning Commission with a letter pertaining to the private road issue, changes to the development site plan and two different site plans marked "A" and "B". Mangold commented about getting information to the Planning Commission in a timely matter so that the Planning Commission members could review such information rather than receiving it 15 minutes before the meeting. Another issue was the constant changes that are presented by Mr. Maloney before each meeting. The private road construction issue was once again discussed as to a gravel or asphalt surface. Zoning Administrator, Ed Carpenter, questioned the number of changes to the site plan and questioned which site plan, "A" or "B", that was presented this evening, is to be considered. Mr. Maloney responded that the Planning Commission could choose either plan. Mr. Maloney was informed that he is to submit a site plan for the Planning Commission to consider. Mr. Maloney responded by selecting Site Plan "A" for his PUD request. Zoning Administrator Carpenter will review the new version of the PUD application with site plan "A" before a date for a public hearing on the matter could be scheduled. Discussion was held on changing the work session evening of September 6, 2006 to a special meeting to allow the possibility of setting a public hearing for the PUD request. A motion by Jackson, supported by Klute, to change the meeting from a work session to a special meeting on September 6, 2006 depending on the availability of Charles Eckenstahler. The motion was approved 7-0. Having no further business, a motion for adjournment by Jackson, supported by Mitchell. The motion was approved 8-0. The meeting was adjourned by Vice Chair Snyder at 8:00 pm. Respectfully submitted, George A. Mangold, Secretary
