Warrens zoning committee approves application forms and recommends Plan Commission, Board of Appeals appointments
Summary
The committee approved new Sign Permit, Conditional Use, Variance and Annexation Petition forms, and recommended formal appointment of Plan Commission and Board of Appeals members (appointments to be finalized at the April Village Board meeting).
The committee reviewed and approved a set of administrative forms to support zoning reviews: a Sign Permit Application (with a requested separation between residential and commercial permit types), a Conditional Use Application, a Variance Application form, and an Annexation Petition Request form. Motions to approve the forms were made by M. Clark (sign permit, second L. Schroeder), T. Swope (conditional use and variance), and M. Clark (annexation form); each motion was recorded as carried.
Committee members discussed the Plan Commission and Board of Appeals formation. The Plan Commission is in place but members need formal appointment at the April Village Board meeting; the committee recommended staggered terms and listed pending appointees (A. Werner as chair; M. Clark; L. Schroeder; T. Swope; M. Kaul). The Board of Appeals will consist of five residents; several positions were listed as placeholders and the committee recommended appointment of two members with staggered terms. The committee recorded motions recommending the appointments (mover L. Schroeder; second M. Clark).
Why it matters: the approved forms provide the paperwork the village will use to process sign permits, conditional-use requests, variance petitions and annexation petitions. The recommended appointments are the next procedural step for establishing bodies that will oversee conditional uses and appeals.
The committee set a next meeting date for April 14, 2025 at 1:00 PM and adjourned at 12:19 PM.
