Ordinance Amendment: Mr. D’Andrea reported there is a proposal to increase the size of the ZBA from 5 to 7 members. While each geographical area (as indicated by County Board Districts) cannot be represented the requested change will allow greater coverage of our community.

Mr. Bateman reported he believes there should be a 3 year term limit.

A motion to amend was made by Mr. Bateman, seconded by Mr. Blankenship, to limit terms to no more than 3 years.

This committee discussed how they would apply term limits. Mrs. Schumacher would like her and Mr. Bateman to sit down and draft language for the ordinance amendment regarding the ZBA members. Motion to amend passed.

Mr. Bateman would like a sentence in the amendment to state a term limit will be determined by draw or flip of a coin.

Quarry Land Rezoning: ZBA will meet tomorrow night at WL-B at 7:30p.m. Mr. D’Andrea reported that most likely, the quarry land rezone should be in front of the board this month.

Mr. Muck asked, since he submitted his application before the County Board passed conditional uses, does he need to resubmit this application.

A motion was made by Mr. Bateman, seconded by Mr. Hepler, confirming the applicant does not need to pay new application fees for the two parcels, since he already applied before the county board changed the ordinance to conditional use.
