Final CSM Approval of Park Land
Ron Combs surveyor for R-Four, Inc. presented a Plat of Survey Map for approval regarding the parkland
contribution for the Conifer Hills Subdivision. He state that a Warranty deed would be used for the saof of
adjoining properties since the townships owns the parkland (Wayne Disch Memorial Park) next to the area
in question and because there is no road access to the parkland.
Motion by Chairman Schneider to accept the warranty deed instead of the Certified Survey Map which
would satisfy the parkland dedication requirement of 2.65 acres for the entire Conifer Hills Subdivision.
Rohloffs will place a fence in the northwest corner once the township takes control over the land. Chuck is
currently using it as a hayfield. Second by Supervisor Franklin. Motion passed by unanimous rollcall vote.

for the purpose of a relative building a home on the lot. This parcel is located at the south end of

a 35.24 acre A1 parcel (6-20-311) for the purposes of constructing an electric sub-station. The
remaining 31.5± acre parcel would be rezoned A2. Plan Commission recommended approval of
conditional use permit only, no land division or zoning change on January 25, 2007 .

without dividing off the land area being leased (Section 16.06(B)) of the Land Division Ordinance.

parcel which would be a non-confirming A-1 for the 3.1 acre parcel and a non-confirming A-1 for the
remaining 31.5 acre parcel.

Supervisor Krajeck moved to refer this matter back to the Plan Commission to have them look at
accepting a certified survey map for creating a new 3.1± non-conforming parcel zoned A1 from the 35.24
acre A1 parcel (6-20-311) for the purposes of constructing an electric sub-station. The remaining 31.5±
