The Public Hearing for 6 Parcels on Dimondale Hwy Change of Zoning from A-1 to R-1C was called to order by Chairperson Holtz at 7:01 pm.

Supervisor Slucter gave background information on lots along Dimondale Hwy, being sold off for individual resident parcels with zoning remaining agricultural. This proposed zoning change will bring the properties into line with their actual current use. There will be no impact on the current property owners either tax or property wise, it just reduces the side and rear setbacks under the new proposed zoning. The property behind the 6 parcels will not change.

Clark Alling, 10089 Dimondale Hwy – Questioned the zoning of property South and East of the 6 parcels along Dimondale Hwy. Supervisor Slucter directed Mr. Alling to the zoning map on the wall. The lots directly to the south of the 6 parcels are within the village limits and zoned residential, the lots southeast are zoned agricultural. Mr. Alling asked and received verification that the new proposed rezoning will not change his property taxes in anyway.

With no more comments or questions from the public, Chairperson Holtz closed the public hearing for 6 Parcels on Dimondale Hwy Change of Zoning at 7:07 pm.
