lighting, installing a boarding float dock on the boat ramp and
a number of transient float docks and a message board which will

· Review
Correspondence from Auditor's Office Regarding Contractual
Services |
Doug Nafziger from
the Auditor's Office was present to address the Board. He stated
that some of the applications that their current VAX program has
been phased out and the personal property is the only
application currently running. Hardware support is currently
being paid quarterly totaling about $9,400.00 per year plus
software support in the amount of $2,852.00 annually. Mr.
Nafziger proposed upgrading to a new “MVP” program being offered
by Manatron. This would include a one time fee of $7,400.00 plus
an annual cost for support of $2,900.00 as opposed to the
$12,000+ currently being paid for the VAX program annually. Mr.
Nafziger stated that the General Fund is currently paying a
portion of those fees while the REA fund picks up the remainder
and requested that the General Fund portion continue if the
upgrade is made. Commissioner Genter stated that the matter was
taken under advisement and further discussions would take place
during Tuesday’s session. |

Public Hearing on
Zoning Amendment Amboy Township
Resolution
2007-991
Resolution
2007-992 |
Commissioner Genter
opened the hearing and Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director,
reviewed with the Board the application for the Zoning Amendment
and the Zoning Commission’s recommendation.
He advised that the
applicant, Mr. Dustin Setmire, has requested to rezone a 6+ acre
property in Fulton Township from AG/RE to C-3 for the purpose of
relocating his existing business, and landscape and trucking
firm. The area is currently zoned for agricultural use and he
is requesting to have it rezoned as commercial property. The
Fulton County Rural Zoning Commission previously held a public
hearing on this matter on October 15, 2007 wherein the proposed
amendment was denied. This matter now comes before the
Commissioners to either affirm the decision of the Zoning
Commission or to overturn it.
Commissioner Genter
then opened the floor for testimony. No testimony was offered.
The hearing was closed at 10:05:15 am. Commissioner Barnaby
made the motion to affirm the recommendation of the Rural Zoning
Commission to deny the Application. Commissioner Genter
seconded the Motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Genter
further articulated that it is not the Board’s intention to deny
Mr. Setmire from doing business, but rather to find a more
suitable location for his type of business. Mr. Brown stated
that they are working with Mr. Setmire to help out and look for
alternative sites.
Mr. Brown further
presented an amendment to Article 100-5.2 “Scope”, item 12 of
the zoning regulations as recommended by the Prosecuting
Attorney relating to transportation businesses. The following
addition to said article is being proposed to include “(except
those engaged in the business of transporting property, per
O.R.C. 519.211)”.
Commissioner Barnaby
made a motion to approve the amendment to Article 100-5.2
“Scope”, item 12 as proposed and Commissioner Genter seconded
the Motion. Motion carried unanimously. |
