      <image:title>News - TOWNSHIP TALK            APRIL 2025 - BZA Member resigns</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tim Schlachter attended his last Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on April 7 after submitting his resignation from the board to Chairman Yuri Osterhout the month before. Schlachter and his family are moving to a new home out of the township, making him ineligible for the seat. “I have really enjoyed serving on the board for the past 13 years,” he noted. “I like being able to serve my community by using my expertise to find solutions to the zoning challenges brought before the board,” Schlachter pointed out. Prior to his joining the board, Schlachter said he became very familiar with the township’s zoning and zoning appeals process as a developer and contractor. He and his family have lived in Sylvania Township since 1994.</image:caption>
