Petitions:	Item # : Steve Gardner, 9225 Neff Rd. Site Plan Review.
	Mr. Gardner explained that he was filling a low area on his property to make a
	driveway. He said the Cities of Clio and Mt. Morris frequently bring in clean fill from
	different projects they do, but he estimates his project will need approximately 50,000
	yards, so the process will take three or four years to complete. The drive to his
	property now comes across his father's property next door.
	Audience Comments:  None
	Board Comments:
	Schweitzer said he understands he needs his own driveway.
	Curtis asked if there would be any excavation and was told no.
	Garner asked if the fill would in any way block the flow of water and was told no.
	Curtis told Mr. Gardner that the Soil Erosion permit was only good for one year, and
	this Board will require a copy. Also he must appear before the Planning Commission
	in 18 months, July 2004, to report on progress.
	Motion by Preseau, seconded by Schweitzer to allow the driveway fill with yearly
	soil erosion permits, and appearance at the Planning Commission every 18 months
	until completion.
	Voting yes: Preseau, Giltinan, Schweitzer, Ranger, Garner, Curtis.
	Voting no:  None. Motion carries.
Reports:	None
Unfinished	Scott Preseau said that at the last Township Board meeting the appointment of
Business:	an alternate to the Planning Commission came up but was not voted on. There
	were some questions, but he hopes it will be voted on next meeting.
	Three members of the Cast & Crew were present and addressed the Board. Their
	request was tabled at the last meeting and added to the group of eight properties
	to be rezoned. They are present asking for their rezoning request to go forward,
	apart from the other because they hope this will go faster.
	Motion by Schweitzer, seconded by Preseau to take this issue off the table.
	Voting yes: Preseau, Garner, Ranger, Giltinan, Schweitzer, Curtis.
	Voting no:  None, motion carries.
	Motion by Schweitzer, seconded by Preseau to recommend to the Township Board
