Board seeks a battery-storage definition and clarifies special-use permit enforcement
Summary
A board member requested adding a battery-storage definition (the village has a moratorium); the board also reaffirmed that special-use permits run with the land and noted annual fire inspections provide an enforcement trigger if permits lapse.
A board member said battery storage should be defined in the zoning code because the village currently has a moratorium on it. "That was one that jumped out at me," the member said, noting the definition exists elsewhere and could be copied into the zoning document.
The Chair and Planner discussed special-use permits and enforcement: the Planner explained special-use permits currently "run with the land" and said annual fire inspections provide an enforcement mechanism — if the inspection requirement lapses, the special-use permit could effectively be voided and the owner would need to reapply. Board members agreed to leave the running-with-the-land approach for enforceability while noting possible points for yearly oversight.
