Summary

Trustees unanimously ratified zoning ordinance and map amendments for the Airport Commerce (AC) district and overlays A, B and C; a trustee criticized recent airport correspondence and a prior suit that questioned township zoning authority over airport-controlled property.

The board approved amendments to the township's zoning ordinance and map establishing or adjusting the Airport Commerce (AC) zoning district and associated overlays A, B and C.

Manager Smith introduced the second reading and said the change had been explained at the prior meeting. A trustee objected to comments from the airport, calling it "ironic" that the airport criticized the board while previously filing a suit arguing the township "has 0 authority" over zoning of airport-owned or controlled property. The trustee said the airport sought fewer public-notice or hearing requirements for its areas while still submitting public comments on township processes.

After limited additional comment the board voted to adopt the zoning map and ordinance amendments; the chair called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.
