Board discusses zoning map, burning ordinance and begins work on a solar ordinance
Summary
Trustees agreed to request Dakota's zoning map from FEHR Grahn after Stephenson County had no record; they discussed burning rules, community center rental charges and decided to begin drafting a solar ordinance modeled on existing building permit rules.
Trustee Thomas Long reported that Stephenson County had no zoning record for 140 W. Main St. because Dakota is incorporated; the board agreed to contact FEHR Grahn to obtain the current Dakota zoning map. No formal action was taken beyond appointing staff to retrieve the map.
The board discussed enforcement of burning rules, noting the county ordinance prohibits burning trash and that residents are encouraged to contact the sheriff regarding burning concerns. Trustees also discussed charging for community center rentals, especially for non-residents, and decided to start drafting a solar ordinance patterned after the village's building and permitting requirements.
