Ragan reported that a vacancy exists on the Planning Commission and informed
the Board there is not a local business person serving on the Commission. Ron presented to the Board a list of
business owners that the Planning Commission recommends be contacted to inquire
if they are interested in serving. Ron
stated that the Planning Commission would meet with interested individuals to
explain the scope of work involved. The
Board authorized the Township Secretary to forward a letter to the individuals
on the list provided by Planning Commission to inquiry if they are interested
in serving on the Planning Commission.
Kenneth Roark stated that he would like to volunteer to serve on the
Planning Commission. Bob Barto asked
Mr. Roark if his business is located in New London Township. Mr. Roark stated that his main office is not
located in the Township.
Ron
reported that the addition of public water and public sewer to the Township
will most likely increase development in the Village District. Ron stated that the Planning Commission
feels that planning now for the future will help keep the Township ahead of
development. Ron presented a proposal
from Thomas Comitta Associates, Inc. and stated that Vision Partnership Grants
are available but that funds would need to be provided to David Sweet and
Thomas Comitta prior to receiving grant reimbursement. Dale Lauver asked if the process would start
with the business section. Ron stated
that the parcel owned by the church and lands that have sold development rights
would not be included in the survey.
Bob Barto stated that if this issue is not addressed, the Township might
miss the opportunity to have the Village District develop with a plan in mind.
On
a motion made by Bob Barto, seconded by Gerry Porter, the Board accepted the
Thomas Comitta Associates Inc. proposal and authorized Mr. Comitta to begin the
work as proposed. The Board also agreed
to pursue a grant for reimbursement of costs associated with the proposal. There was no public comment. The vote was unanimous.
