Soon houses in Union Township may be powered by alternative energy and the township will be at the forefront of saving money and energy.
Planners on the planning commission board have been working on amending the master plan for possibly permitting homes and businesses to utilize wind energy.
The process for making amendments is rather lengthy and has many factors involved. Before the planners send it to the attorney to be approved, the amendment needs to be as perfect as the planning commission can make it.
A few things stalling the process right now is the language being used in the wind ordinance. The planners want to have the best work product with no loop holes for residents to get around. So the planners will take to appropriate amount of time to ensure that it is the best.
Some of the language problems are appearing in how to describe the leasing agreement that will be utilized by residential neighbors who would share a turbine for power.
Soon the amendment will be perfected and sent to the township attorney for review. The board will meet Wednesday, Oct. 22 to approve the amendment.
Another project in front of the planning commission is the ongoing process for a peddlers ordinance. Originally the planners chose to begin drafting an ordinance after complaints from Encore Development Company over puppy sales in their mall parking lots on Bluegrass.
The planners are taking this complaint seriously and have decided to be proactive and draft the ordinance. This ordinance will not only be instilled for puppy sales, but for all sales that are made on another person’s property. Sales will also be prohibited on township streets.
The ordinance has a lot more of work to be done and planners are will discuss it more at the next meeting on Nov. 19.
