Zoning Commission

The Zoning Commission is responsible for making recommendations for amendments and changes to the Zoning Resolution of the Township to the Township Board of Trustees.

There are three ways in which amendments or supplements to the Zoning Resolution may be initiated:

  1. A resolution passed by the Board of Trustees
  2. The filing of an application by one or more individual land owners
  3. By the members of the Zoning Commission

A unanimous decision by the Board of Trustees to certify an amendment or district change is necessary to over-turn the vote of the Zoning Commission members. (The entire amendment procedure is contained within Section 14, “Amendments,” in the Zoning Resolution.)

Five people occupy seats on the Zoning Commission for a term of five years and are appointed by the Board of Trustees. Presently serving are:

James Kamps, Chairperson
Karen Siarkowski, Vice Chairperson
Terry Walrath
Calvin Powell
William Spellman

Alternates:
Mel Kman
John Nehrenz

Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month, at 7:30 p.m., with the exception of the month of December. The meetings are held in either the Town Hall Meeting Room or the Board Room of the Administration Building.

All meetings of the Commission are listed in the calendar of meetings in the Medina County Gazette and should a Public Hearing be scheduled for the Zoning Commission, a legal notice is published in the same paper.
