Secretary McDivitt passed out information sent from Amy Brennan, Chagrin River Watershed Partners, in response to last month’s meeting. The Zoning Commission had a discussion on this material.

The Zoning Commission asked Secretary McDivitt to send an email to Dave Dietrich of the Geauga County Planning Commission to ask if riparian setbacks can only be incorporated within the conservation development article.

The Zoning Comission decided to table the conversations on riparian setbacks at this time.

Mark Richardson suggested having somebody from the county attending a Zoning Commission meeting to discuss the type of septic that could be used in Geauga County for a conservation development. McDivitt will contact the county and try to set this up.

Copies of the Conservation Open Space Model Article XVIII are needed for Max Motil and for the new member, Kenneth. A Zoning Resolution also needs to be created for Kenneth.

Chair Tim Healy stated that he does not believe fracking will come to this area of Geauga County.
