Three Oaks Township
Tuesday, November 28, 2006

The regular meeting of the Three Oaks Township Planning Commission was called to order at 
7:03 pm by Chairperson Snyder.  Roll Call was taken with members: Jackson, Klute, Kramer, 
LaLone, Mangold, Mitchell, Seifert and Snyder present.  No one was absent.  There was no 
Public Comment.

Secretary Mangold presented the minutes of the Tuesday, October 24, 2006 Public Hearing.  
A motion by Kramer, supported by Klute, to accept the minutes of the October 24, 2006 
Public Hearing as presented.  The motion was approved 7-0.  Secretary Mangold presented 
the minutes of the Tuesday, October 24, 2006 regular meeting.  A motion by Jackson, 
supported by Klute, to accept the minutes of the October 24, 2006 regular meeting as 
presented.  The motion passed 7-0.

Under Old Business, Chris Mitchell and Kathy Snyder reported on the Task-Force assigned 
to review the rewriting of the Three Oaks Township Ordinance with Township Attorney Scott 
Dienes.  Attorney Dienes set up a schedule of what to accomplish at each meeting.  The 
Task-Force has reviewed the first five articles of the Ordinance.  They are mainly 
dealing with cleaning up the language technicalities.  Two more meetings have been 
scheduled before the end of the year and the Task-Force hopes to complete their review 
by the end of January, 2007.

Under New Business, Secretary Mangold reported that Supervisor Sittig was giving some 
thought, on a recommendation from Attorney Dienes, on reducing the number of members 
on the Planning Commission from nine (9) to seven (7).  Secretary Mangold informed 
Supervisor Sittig that if such a change was to take place that the end of the year 
would be the appropriate time.  Gary Miciunas' resignation brings the Planning Commission 
to eight (8) members at present and that three (3) Planning Commission members (Kramer, 
Mangold and Snyder) term of office expire December 31, 2006.  The Board of Trustees 
could elect to reappoint two members only and thus create a seven (7) member Planning 
Commission.  Mangold reported that the Board of Trustees decided to advertise for a 
replacement for Gary Miciunas' seat thus it appears that the Planning Commission will 
remain at the present nine members until at least January of 2008.
The Planning Commission then considered changing the date of the December 26, 2006 
regular meeting because of Holidays.  A motion by Jackson, supported by Seifert, to 
change the date of the December regular meeting from Tuesday, December 26, 2006 to 
Tuesday, December 19, 2006.  The motion was approved 8-0.  Secretary Mangold will 
post a notice of the change of meeting date.

Having no further business, a motion for adjournment by Jackson, supported by Kramer.  
The motion was approved 8-0.  The meeting was adjourned by Chairperson Snyder at 7:28 pm.


Respectfully submitted,



George A. Mangold, Secretary
