The Silver Creek Township Board of Planning and Zoning approved a conditional use permit for Randall Stoick and rezoned a nearby parcel for Skies Limit LLC during its May 20 meeting.
Chairman Chris Klein presided. Board member Mike Helman moved to approve the conditional use permit for property PID 216-100-333100 “as written,” and Brandon Geyen seconded; the board carried the motion with a 9-0 recorded vote and Jesse Dickinson recorded as abstaining.

Mark Egge seconded; the motion carried 9-0 with Sandy Forsman recorded as abstaining.
At the same time the board approved a township road tied to the Skies Limit parcel.
