Burlington Township directs Planning Commission to draft Ag‑barn permit definitions
Summary
At its Aug. 8 meeting, the Burlington Township board voted to have the Planning Commission create definitions and requirements that the Zoning Administrator will use when issuing zoning compliance permits for agricultural barns.
Burlington Township Supervisor Jeffrey Eyre and board members voted Aug. 8 to direct the township Planning Commission to draft definitions and requirements for agricultural barn zoning compliance permits.
The motion, moved by Barton Boyer and seconded by Jeanette Demski, "carried" on a voice vote, instructing the Planning Commission to compile a list of definitions and permit requirements the Zoning Administrator will apply when reviewing Ag‑barn compliance permits. Zoning Administrator Paul Walker presented a written report to the board; the transcript does not specify whether Walker offered recommendations related to the motion.
Board members framed the action as a preparatory step: it assigns the Planning Commission to produce written guidance that will inform future permit decisions rather than changing any permits or zoning standards immediately. The transcript does not record a formal roll‑call tally or a timetable for when the Planning Commission must complete its work.
Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes indicate the Planning Commission will undertake the drafting task; any subsequent changes to zoning compliance procedures would return to the board for consideration according to standard local procedures.
