Franklin Twp. zoners still working on plan Public hearing slated for July 19 By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP - The zoning ‘board is still accepting suggestions from residents before revisions to the zoning ordinance are finished and sent to the super- visors for approval. During a three-hour work ses- sion June 22, the board revised five sections of the ordinance, which will affect unattached ac- cessory buildings, pools, building heights, visibility at driveways and road intersections, septic systems, signs, parking areas and specific land uses. The zoning board will hold another work session July 19 at 7 p.m. at the fire hall on Orange Road to discuss the zoning map, ~ which has also undergone several proposed changes. * Chairman Ed Dorrance noted that wheelchair access ramps, providing they have a five-foot setback from property lines and other buildings for maintenance and repairs, are exempt from the ordinance and its proposed thanges. i * The proposed changes will set property line setbacks, sizes and building heights for new unat- tached accessory buildings, with the exception of chimneys, church steeples, barns and silos. Under the proposed changes, new swimming pools will be al- lowed in side or back yards only and must be set back at least 20 feet from the property line. In- ground pools must be equipped with a four-foot fence and locked gate, while above-ground pools deeper than one foot and having a surface of at least 30 square feet must have a four-foot fence or A removable deck ladder. New on-lot septic systems must comply with all state regulations and be approved by the township sewage enforcement officer. No new sewage holding tanks will be permitted under the proposed + changes. People doing earthmoving op- erations on land parcels larger than two acres will be required to file an erosion and sediment con- trol plan with the township. New regulations for mobile homes on property previously zoned as nonconforming uses will require owners replacing them to provide advance written notice to the zoning officer, meet all new setback regulations and set the homes on permanent foundations within 180 days of installation. New setbacks, fences or shrub- covered buffer zones, parking requirements and lot sizes were revised for specific land uses, including dog and cat kennels, banks, new cemeteries, child care homes, day care schools, storage yards or warehouses, community centers, home occupations and convenience stores with gasoline pumps. Group residences will be lim- ited to eight persons, must meet the minimum federal building codes and must show proof that they are regulated by a specific county, state or government agency. Proposed new regulations con- cerning junkyards received spe- cial attention, although the zon- ing board must still hammer out a legal definition of them. The town- ship presently has no junkyards. Junkyards will be allowed only in industrial (I-1) zones, must be 288-3500 Mark Plaza, Edwardsville, Rt. 11 586-6000 Ris. 6 & 11, Clarks Summit N.E.
