Chairman Donald Lamay welcomed our new Planning Board Member, Ralph Smith.
Amon Zimmerman and a few other Mennonites came in to speak to the planning board about having product auctions. They wanted to know if there were any zoning regulations. They have a couple of places in mind. One of the parcels is on Townline Rd. The parcel is 10 acres. They spoke about the hours of operation, days and times of the year. They would be auctioning off fruits and vegetables in boxes, bushels and even 20 bin totes on pallets. It would be open to the public for selling and buying. They would also like to build a building (small one to start). Amon said that there will be no processing.
They do understand that it is going to be a lot of work to build up the land; the land does get very wet. They are going to look into tiling to the ditch for drainage.
A question was asked about the parking. Is there enough parking on both sides of the road – No, there are deep ditches on both sides.
Chairman Donald Lamay asked for a time frame they would like to be up and running.
Levi Stauffer said spring of 2013. They would like to start getting things ready now.
The Board asked that they get a good site plan together, including property measurements and parking.
Dan Wolfe is going to get the application to Amon Zimmerman to get things started.
Next – Gary went over the County Planning Board meeting. Not a lot last month. They adopted the calendar for the year.

Wes Bradley mentioned that Steve Freeman will be coming to the Planning Board meetings in his place.
