Lakes Advisory Board Opening- February 11, 2011

The Steuben County Plan Commission has an opening for a volunteer to serve on the Lakes Advisory Board.

The Lakes Advisory Board (LAB) is a seven-member board, created to inform the Plan Commission of specific concerns or questions of affected property owners, to aid the Plan Commission in fact finding missions, to provide follow-up information to the Plan Commission concerning possible violations of the zoning ordinance or conditions of approvals, to study the subjects and problems upon request of the Plan Commission, and to report and participate in Plan Commission deliberations.

The LAB is concerned with properties located within 1,000 feet of the shore of any state-owned lake within Steuben County’s jurisdiction, properties zoned Lake Residential, and properties which drain into a creek or body of water that flows into a lake in Steuben County.

Members of the LAB are appointed by the Plan Commission for three-year terms. The open position is for the remainder of an existing appointment and would be through December 31, 2011. Interested individuals should contact the Plan Commission Office to request an application.

Please contact the Steuben County Plan Commission at 260 668.1000 x1600 or plancommission@steubencounty.com with any questions or to volunteer.
