Lynn Township replaces zoning officer and approves agricultural security for Townsend property
Summary
The board terminated LTL Consultants as zoning officer, appointed KCE under the previously approved fee schedule, and unanimously approved Resolution 2024-18 admitting Richard Townsend's Donats Peak Road property into Agricultural Security.
At the July 11 meeting the Lynn Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to terminate LTL Consultants as the township zoning officer and to appoint KCE under the previously approved fee schedule.
The motion to terminate LTL Consultants was made by Supervisor Ronald Jerdon and seconded by Vice Chairman Frederick Najarian. No public opposition was recorded in the meeting minutes. The board then approved Resolution 2024-18 to admit Richard Townsend's property at 6388 Donats Peak Road (PIN 5408462109581) into the Agricultural Security program; the resolution was moved by Frederick Najarian and seconded by Ronald Jerdon and carried unanimously.
Chairman Brian C. Dietrich noted that zoning enforcement letters had already been issued in the public-comment matter about the collapsed Lynnville Hotel barn; he said the zoning officer provided letters and a compliance timeline in that case.
Why it matters: Changing the township's zoning officer affects who administers permits, enforcement and zoning reviews. The agricultural security resolution formally recognizes Townsend's parcel for program protections under township/state procedures.
Next steps: The township will work with KCE under the existing fee schedule for zoning duties; no additional details on transition timelines were provided at the meeting.
