Businessmen Hear Talk On
zoning At Meeting Held In
Regular Meeting Program

(Zoning has been declared con-
stitutional by the United States
Supreme Court The State Code of
Ohio defines the legal points of the
zoning code.)
Contrary to some beliefs, zon-
ing is brought about to protect the
people. It is desirable to separate
residential areas from industrial
areas so that no undesirable fac
tory can be placed adjacent to
their homes.
I'm the case of agricultural zon-
ing the farmer IS NOT in any way
restricted from construction or
building on his farmland. However,
it should be pointed out that should
he fail to accept zoning in his town.
ship he will have no protection
from trailer camps or the building
of industry right in the center of
his agricultural area.
by and large zoning protects
industrial, commercial and resi-
dental areas from infringing upon
one another. Therefore, any muni-
cipality, township or county which
is interested in protecting them
selves from undesirable infringe
ments from adjacent areas should
start petitions and submit them to
their representative bodies so that
immediate steps may be taken to
protect them" according to the
speaker.

Joe Lewis announced that Mrs.
June. Strayer has been appointed
Supervisor of the Playground for
the summer recreation program
and will be assisted by Robert D.
Mowery and Wilma Hunter
The speaker for the evening was
Mr.. Cloyd Patton, Chairman of the
Zoning Commission of Lima, Ohio.
He discussed the following impor-
tant points.
''Zoning will eventually come to
Madison County. The county has
grown 1920 since 1850. County zon-
ing can be accomplished in the
county through the county commits
sioners, in the Township through
the Township Trustees. and in the
municipalities through the Coun-
cilS.
''Zoning is often inStigated by a
petition submitted to. any of the
three responsible bodies. A zoning
board consisting of 5 members is
then appointed. The board proceeds
to map areas or zones to be set
off for industrial, commercial and
agricultural purposes. After the
zoning plans have been completed,
public hearings are held at which
time the interested residents can
participate
"The zoning board then submits
their final plans to the responsible
bodies who then formulate a zon-
ing code. The zoning code must
then be put to vote at a Special,
Primary or General Election. If it
is a county vote only the Town
ships in which the vote carried
are bound by the zoning code.
