Matt Montowski read Rezoning Application 543640 submitted by Richard Greene and Anita Selvey owners of the property located at 5087 Porter Road, Port Clinton, Ohio.

Matt Montowski said Richard Greene and Anita Selvey have no immediate plans to do anything with the property except possibly build an accessory building on the property. He said their property is surrounded by “C-3” zoned property.

Karen Shaw read a letter from Todd Bickley, Director of Ottawa County Regional Planning, wherein he stated the Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request based on the surrounding zoning of the parcel.
