Members present: Tom Hollingsworth, Jake Negley, Doug Reoch, Bruce Behrman, Rod Barcklay, Henry McMahon. Members absent: John Kellogg, Barry Davis, Toby Schnuerle. Staff present: Mike Weland

1. Hollingsworth opened the meeting, introduced members and called for reading of the May minutes. Reoch made motion to waive reading and approve as mailed, McMahon seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
2. Hollingsworth opened public hearing on application 07-117 and reviewed procedure. Applicant John Van Etten described his proposal, saying he planned to build three storage buildings containing a total of 36 units. Addressing the letter from Road and Bridge, he stated he had talked to superintendent Jeff Gutshall regarding upgrading the existing drive to county standards. He stated that to keep traffic from using a drive on Deep Creek Loop, he planned to move his horse pasture to that area and fence the drive. He stated the buildings would have security lighting, likely on a motion sensor. Discussion was held on lighting and the access. No member of the public was in attendance, so the hearing was closed to public testimony. Discussion was held on terms and conditions. Reoch made motion to forward to county commissioners a recommendation that application 07-117 be approved with the conditions that the approach be upgraded to County Road and Bridge standards and that security lighting be shielded so as to prevent glare on adjoining properties. Behrman seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
3. Discussion was held regarding absences.
4. Discussion was held on the comprehensive plan and members were given fresh copies of the draft as well as CDs with the draft and the proposed map and told of the time and date of public hearing.
5. There being no further business, Barcklay made motion to adjourn. Negley seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 6 p.m.
