Ann Hawkins from the EPA had contacted the village to see about the status of the project.
Zoning
Gloria Minard asked for a variance or amendment to the ordinance to put a concrete driveway to the property line. After discussion, the board noted that neither a variance nor amendment would be needed since the property line isn't next to the road, however from the property line to the road would need to be filled with gravel or dirt.
