Trustees remove code language to bar housing in conservation districts

Brimfield Township trustees voted July 6 to remove language from the township zoning code that, officials said, could allow housing developments inside designated conservation areas. Mike Lad, the township's zoning and economic developer, told the board the clause in section 400.10B56L1 was inconsistent with the conservation district's intent: "it defeats the purpose of the conservation area." He said regional planning had reviewed and approved the change and that no public comments were received at the advertised hearing.
