Having spent more than a year working on revisions and updates to the township’s zoning ordinance, Eureka Township Planning Commission Chairman Duane Putnam was excited to reach a resolution Wednesday evening.
After numerous meetings in which members of the commission discussed every element of the 257-page ordinance, members of the Commission voted unanimously Wednesday evening to recommend approval of the updated ordinance to the Eureka Township Board.
For more than a year, Eureka Township planners have chipped away at updating the township’s zoning ordinance, but Wednesday evening, that effort reached a tipping point for some.
As officials come close to updating this township’s 200-plus page zoning ordinance, one element of that ordinance continues to be discussed and reviewed — wind energy.
The Eureka Township Planning Commission has spent more than a year working to update “Ordinance 79” — a 251-page document containing all of the township’s zoning laws.
