May 14 Clinton County Planning Commission

The Clinton County Planning Commission held a meeting on May 14, 2026, where they discussed several zoning and land use matters, including a special land use permit for a Verizon Wireless monopole cell tower in Victor Township. The commission reviewed the application, which included site plan approval, access drive requirements, and a surety bond for tower removal. Public concerns were raised about potential health and property value impacts, but the commission noted that the zoning ordinance provisions were met and recommended approval with conditions, including a deed restriction to prevent parcel division that would violate setback requirements. Additionally, the commission discussed zoning ordinance updates related to self-storage facilities and kennels, proposing the formation of a subcommittee to review and recommend changes. The meeting also covered procedural improvements in the planning office and noted increased interest in gravel mining inquiries. The special land use permit will proceed to the Board of Commissioners for final approval.
