This rezoning request
differed from the country homes rezoning request in that it related
to a subdivision. Board member David Hepler petitioned to vote for
the rezoning for property belonging to Keith and Veronica Hasprey,
doing business as KVH Construction Co. The Haspreys requested that
36.1 acres of property be rezoned from agricultural to R-1
subdivision. The property is in Section 17 of East Lincoln Township.
The vote passed the
board 11-1, with Veronica Hasprey (being the property owner) voting
present.
The board also
unanimously voted to replace a bridge in the Sheridan Road district.
Construction will be done by Freesen Inc. for an estimated cost of
$118, 728.92. Logan County will carry 10 percent of these costs.
Other highway matters
presented by board member Terry Werth included the unanimous passing
of the jurisdiction transfer of County Highway 7 from Logan to Macon
County. This roadway will now be under the ownership of Liana
Township.
Chairman Dale Voyles
nominated Gloria Luster for appointment to the grounds committee.
The board voted for this appointment with no opposition.
The board also voted
on four separate resolutions, the first of which was for an economic
development referendum in the March 2004 primary. A 7-4 vote passed
the motion to place the referendum on the ballot, with Logan,
Luster, O'Neill and Stewart voting "no."
In other board
approvals, there was a unanimous vote to pass the Clerk of Courts
Act and support of Family Day, to be set for Monday, Sept. 22. This
local holiday encourages families to dine together and "get
reacquainted with each other."
The resolution to
allow the county legal holidays was met with one vote of opposition
from Dick Logan, who feels that Good Friday should be included in
county holidays. Voyles also noted that Casimir Pulaski Day has
recently been taken off the holiday lineup.
