Zoning Administrator Oleson
reported that he had received a complaint about the Zunker junkyard located
along CR 81. He had spoken with County
Attorney Karpen who indicated that Mr. Zunker has been removing junk and has
agreed to not accept any additional junk.
The board was in consensus that as long as no additional junk is being
added, there is no violation of our ordinance since the junkyard was present
prior to enactment of the township’s ordinance.

districts. He expressed no concerns
about the new districts.
