Meeting of Board of Supervisors in their office, 200 E. Bridge St., Elkader, IA.
Present: Walke, Meyer, Gibbs
Joel Biggs was present with the minutes of the Planning & Zoning Board and applicable maps regarding the following hearings.
A public hearing was held regarding a rezoning request from A-1 to C-1 for Duane & Lorraine Dittmer in Section 20 & 29, of Cox Creek Township. The use that Mr. Dittmer is requesting is to be able to charge rental fees for camping and the visitation & use of the property for recreational activities. The Planning and Zoning Board suggested that the C-1 use is too broad a use of the property and approved a zoning change to R-4 which is closer to the proposed use. There were no objectors present. Motion by Walke, seconded by Gibbs, to approve the zoning request on the property requested by Duane & Lorraine Dittmer in section 20 & 29 of Cox Creek Township, waive the third hearing and amend the zoning ordinance map. Ayes: Walke, Meyer, Gibbs
