Board considers updating property‑maintenance code to 2021 edition; minor‑subdivision waiver edits offered
Summary
A board member asked staff to update the township property‑maintenance code from the 2009 edition to the 2021 edition to align building codes; another member offered specific edits to minor‑subdivision waiver language for staff review and incorporation.
A board member (S12) asked whether the township could update its property‑maintenance code from the 2009 edition to the 2021 edition — the same edition the township uses for building codes — and asked staff to summarize any substantive changes before adoption. Staff agreed to prepare a summary of changes and any adverse impacts so the board could review them before voting.
Separately, S9 flagged the minor‑subdivision waiver section of the current ordinance and said they had prepared specific suggested edits. S9 offered to send the edits to staff (John) so staff could confirm the suggested waiver language aligns with how plans have been handled historically and incorporate the adjustments into the draft.
Next steps: staff will prepare a short summary of differences between the 2009 and 2021 property‑maintenance code editions for the board and accept S9’s suggested edits to the minor‑subdivision waiver for technical review and potential inclusion in the public‑review draft.
