(11/27) Liberty Township's Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the township's Zoning Ordinance during a public meeting held on November 19th . Two amendments were approved in regards to the town's Campground Ordinance during the November 6 Township meeting.

The first proposed amendment eliminated the definitions for Camper, Campsite, Tent and Department and revised the definitions for Campground and Camping Unit. The new definition of campground states that: "one or more campsites are located, established, or maintained for regular occupancy by camping units as temporary living quarters for recreation, education, or vacation purposes. The campground may be an organized camp that includes a combination of programs and facilities established for the primary purpose of providing an outdoor living experience for children, youth, and adults with social, recreational, and educational objectives and operated and used for five or more consecutive days during one or more seasons a year. There must be a named individual who has responsibility for the campground."

A camping unit is defined as a tent, trailer, lean-to or recreation vehicle established or maintained as temporary living quarters for recreation, education, or vacation purposes.

The second amendment states, in short, that no camping permit is required if the camping is by family members or guests for three nights or less. There are additional permit requirements, plus requirements for waste and sewage disposal and noise. A list of criteria outlines setbacks, roads, maintenance, sanitation and garbage collection, signs, lighting requirements etc. Any violator of this ordinance may be fined up to $600.

A public hearing was held on November 19, of which no public comment was made. The above amendments were included and voted into the township's Zoning Ordinance at this meeting.
