The McPherson County Board of Planning Zoning and Appeals convened on October 14, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including administrative reports and upcoming zoning changes. The meeting commenced promptly at 7:00 PM, with roll call confirming the presence of board members.

The board approved the meeting agenda and the minutes from the previous session without any objections. Following these procedural steps, the zoning administrator presented a report detailing the financial activities related to zoning fees. A total of $27,925 has been collected year-to-date, with $2,075 accrued in September alone. Notably, a significant portion of this revenue stemmed from a new chicken barn project.

The administrator also introduced a new tracking system called "GovBuild," which aims to monitor zoning inquiries and activities more effectively. This system has already recorded 95 active cases, allowing for better communication and documentation of interactions with the public regarding zoning matters.

Looking ahead, the board is preparing for a busy schedule, with a public hearing set for November 11 to discuss proposed changes to the comprehensive plan and zoning regulations. This meeting will also include a final plat review for a new subdivision near Lindsborg. The board anticipates ongoing discussions and decisions in the coming months as they address various zoning issues.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of a productive session focused on planning and zoning developments in McPherson County.
