BATAVIA, Ohio — Clermont County is looking to fill two vacancies on a single appeals board responsible for hearing disputes over airport zoning, flood damage reduction and stormwater management regulations, according to the county’s Board of County Commissioners.
The board, which combines what were once three separate appeals panels, hears and rules on appeals and variance requests involving airport zoning, water management and sediment control, and flood damage reduction regulations, the county said. It meets only when an appeal or variance request is filed, rather than on a regular schedule.
The five-member board must include a registered Ohio engineer, a registered Ohio surveyor and a developer or real estate professional, according to the county, plus two members of the professional community — preferably people with construction experience or attorneys admitted to the Ohio Bar. Members serve three-year terms and may serve up to two consecutive terms, the county said.
The airport zoning portion of the board’s authority applies to development near Clermont County Airport in Batavia, a general-aviation airport.
Residents interested in applying can complete an online form or download and mail a paper application to the Board of County Commissioners office at 101 East Main St. in Batavia, the county said. The office can be reached at 513-732-7300.
