Public Comments:
I. c. Murray vs. Township of Addison 03-050732-CH Consent Judgment
Dr. Murray said no one tells him what the Board wants because it happens in closed session.
Trustee VonDrak asked if he met with someone from Township.
Clerk Bennett said she doesn't disclose what happens at meetings but he did meet with Robert Davis.
Robert Davis said he will present what was discussed at meeting tonight - advised Board of that
meeting.
Clerk Bennett said he wanted to know if he could divide in five acres and that's a Board decision.
Robert Davis said he could only get 15 under land division, presenting Dr. Murray's plan tonight.
Dr. Murray on the draft from Township -he doesn't know how Township came up with 65 acres.
Trying to retain natural aspects - really hard to communicate.
Trustee Sypitkowski said we have a Consent Judgment.
Dr. Murray said he's allowed 1 1 divisions and other 10 lots as one and 10 years before allowed more
divisions. Area to north conservation easement with restrictions used before - can't remove trees -
same objective as Piny Hill. Right now, no sales in Addison Township. Thinks there's a need for
Board of Trustees October 20,2008 Special 2
people that want to grow own crops with small energy efficient homes. Inexpensive land divisions
rZi along Lake George.
