Resident told logging haul requires planning commission review under zoning ordinance
Summary
A resident asked about hauling logs from private property; supervisors said a conditional‑use application must be processed by the planning commission and the zoning officer before the board can act.
A resident raised concerns about moving logs from a parcel and whether supervisors could act without the resident’s involvement. Chair responded that under the township's zoning ordinance the matter must go through the planning commission and that the commission had tabled the application for lack of information; the board indicated a conditional‑use hearing would follow the commission recommendation.
"Under the zoning ordinance, it has to go through the planning commission," the chair said, advising the resident to submit paperwork at the planning meeting and then await the board’s scheduling of a conditional‑use hearing. The zoning application was tabled for missing details; the board said the zoning officer will be appointed at the next meeting and will coordinate compliance review before any conditional‑use vote.
The board emphasized that, legally, the township cannot authorize work until the required zoning and planning steps are complete.
