The Silver Creek Township Board of Planning and Zoning on June 3 approved a rezoning for property associated with Johann Massmann and voted to urge the county to review its land use plan.
Chairman Chris Klein called the meeting to order and the board first approved the agenda and the May 20, 2025 meeting minutes on a 7-0 vote after a motion by Mark Egge and a second by Justin Hall.
The board then considered a land-use request identified in the minutes as concerning Johann Massmann. Mike Helman moved to approve rezoning the property from Agricultural to Agricultural-Residential with a shoreline overlay, to authorize lot line adjustments, and to grant a building entitlement to each parcel with proposed driveways accessing County Road 8 and Duffield. Tom Vanek seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, 7-0.

That motion passed 4-3. The minutes do not specify which county office or official is to receive the statement.
