SIDNEY The Sidney Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) determined a fueling station at the intersection of Campbell Road and Vandemark Road is an appropriate use in the I-2, general industrial district, during Tuesday’s teleconference meeting.
At the top of the meeting, Ken Jensen, ZBA’s newest board member was introduced. Also, because board Chair Tom Ehler was absent Tuesday, board member Mary Paulus was elected by other members to preside over the meeting.
The only item on Tuesday’s agenda was the request of Brad Puryear, on behalf of Mansfield Oil Company & Flyers Energy, for an interpretation of the zoning code, to determined if a contract/fleet fueling station, not open to the general public, is an appropriate use in the I-2, general industrial district.
