Zoning Information
ZONING INSPECTOR: The zoning Inspector is responsible for enforcement
of the zoning resolution. First,
he is responsible for
issuing all zoning permits and assuring the township that all permits are issued
within
the confines of the zoning resolution. Second, his is
responsible for referring all requests for variances to
the resolution to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Thirdly, he is
responsible for responding to all complaints of
zoning violations, and taking the necessary actions to eliminate those
violations, which includes referring
such violations to common
pleas court hearings.
ZONING COMMISSION: The Zoning Commission is responsible
for the contents of the zoning resolution.
Their job is to
keep the zoning resolution up to date for the protection of the township as a
whole. For these
purposes the zoning resolution not only includes the
text, but the zoning map as well. The Zoning
Commission proposes
to the Township Trustees any changes to the text or the map as they determine to
be in
the best interests of the township. The Trustees then,
after public hearings, must act on those proposals. It
takes
a unanimous vote of the Trustees to reject a proposal of the Commission,
but only two votes to accept a
proposal. After a Trustee acceptance of
a proposal, the public by petition in accordance with State of Ohio
law may request a referendum vote on that proposal. If no referendum is
requested the proposal goes into
effect, and must be enforced by the
Zoning Inspector and the Trustees.
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS: The Board of Zoning Appeals is responsible for determining
whether Zoning
Resolution variances fall within, or outside, the
intent of the Zoning Resolution. If the Zoning Board of Appeals
votes
to accept the variance as within the intent of the Zoning Resolution, the Zoning
Inspector issues a
zoning permit.
ZONING RESOLUTION BOOK: The
Zoning Resolution Book is current version of the Zoning Resolution and
Map. This Book is on file at the Wayne County Recorder's Office
and is available at the Township office at a
price of $5.00 picked up
or $10.00 mailed. The Township office is open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and
Thursday from 9:00 AM thru 3:00 PM.
