The meeting minutes for January were approved, along with minutes from the Robert Hanna Conditional Use Public Hearing.

For Public Comment, representatives from Lakeland Sand and Gravel were present to talk to the Board about obtaining a mining permit.

They wish to extend the mining of sand and gravel in the area located next to current operations.

Solicitor R. Charles Thomas told the men that there are no “special exemptions” permitted under the newer Township Ordinance, since the property is located within the Conneaut Corridor.

The men would have to approach the Sadsbury Zoning Hearing Board and apply for a Zoning Amendment and a public hearing. Mining was permitted in the previous Ordinance.
