Eaton County planning panel approves zoning code amendments after debate over duplexes and agricultural building rules

The Eaton County Planning Commission voted to approve proposed amendments to the county Land Development Code (DCA 5-25-1) with a planned removal of section 7.3 (the provision on duplex dwellings as drafted) and with additional clarifying language about agricultural buildings, parking and a rename of "livestock auction yards" to "auction venue." The commission voted to send the package on to Public Works and Human Services; if that body approves it, the package will go to the Eaton County Board of Commissioners on May 21.
