Commissioners hear no public comment on Franklin Township zoning; road-vacation hearing set for the 30th
Summary
A scheduled public hearing on Franklin Township zoning produced no public comments; the commissioners also said a public hearing on a proposed road vacation will be held on the 30th before any action is taken.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners convened a public hearing on Franklin Township zoning; the hearing record shows no public comments were offered. The commissioners recessed and later returned to regular session.
Why it matters: Public hearings are required procedural steps for zoning and road-vacation matters; absence of public comment at a hearing does not preclude later comment or formal objections at subsequent hearings.
During the meeting a commissioner stated a public hearing will be held on the road-vacation proposal on the 30th and that no action will be taken before that hearing. The board said it had toured the road-vacation site with property owners and township trustees prior to scheduling the public hearing. No action on the road vacation occurred at this meeting; the hearing on the 30th was announced as the next formal step.
Context and next steps: The board will take public comment at the scheduled road-vacation public hearing on the 30th before deciding whether to take action. The meeting record does not include further detail about the location or legal description of the road proposed for vacation; those specifics were not stated in the transcript provided.
