TRUSTEE: Mike made a comment about how good the building looked with the new paint job.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Richard Horsch wanted to compliment the workers on the great job they had done with scraping the hall and the new paint job.

Ralph Mock questioned the building permit that was issued to the homeowner (Rasnick) on Plain Rd. that haled in the modular. He had checked into this matter also, and he was told that it was illegal to give this gentleman a permit for that modular. Bob had explained that this was a plot since the 70's and even though it was a non-conforming plot it is still build able. Since the plot was build able in the 70's and then was sold and they could build on it today with the set backs and enough room for the septic and well, then it has to be grandfathered in. Ralph had then asked if the board agreed, and at this time Eleanor said she did agree because she knew that it was build able in the 70's and there is enough room to be in compliance with the zoning of the Township today.
RJ Gilmore wanted to make a complaint about not being able to reach Bob Cook and wanted to know why his number is the one in the phone book for the Township. We do not have any control over the phone book that number was not put in by the Township, and if you want to reach Bob Cook his number is 989-553-0107.
