Silver Creek Board of Planning and Zoning approves parcel consolidation and renewal with complaint-review condition
Summary
At a July 1 meeting, the Silver Creek Township Board of Planning and Zoning approved a variance to combine three parcels into a single PID and granted a renewal for Flakne that will be reviewed only if a complaint prompts review within the calendar year; the board also approved the agenda and prior minutes.
