Dennis Greenman, 1660 Stonehaven Dr. – expressed concern about the number of regulations placed on businesses within Delhi Township. Mr. Greenman asked if there is a problem with the Township’s existing sign ordinance and whether or not there is a cost associated with the amended sign ordinance.

Supervisor Goodrich spoke about the previous public informational meetings that were held relative to the proposed amendments to the sign ordinance, and he commented that the Township received a number of complaints regarding the existing sign ordinance, which was drafted around 1991. Therefore, it was determined that the sign ordinance should be reviewed to address some of the concerns of the businesses in the community.

Trustee Hayhoe commented that he served on the Township’s Sign Ordinance Committee and he tried to make sure that all of the proposed changes to the sign ordinance supported the businessmen.

Al McFadyen, Dir. of Community Development, commented that the proposed amended sign ordinance is longer than the existing sign ordinance, because it is designed to make it more user friendly. Mr. McFadyen further commented that he believes that the cost of complying with the proposed sign ordinance amendments is no different than complying with the existing sign ordinance. Mr. McFadyen also commented that any sign that would be nonconforming would be grandfathered, and that the proposed sign ordinance allows for temporary signs whereas the existing sign ordinance does not.

Mr. Greenman asked if there are going to be any fees associated with the proposed sign ordinance. Mr. McFadyen responded that the Township Board would establish the permit fees. Typically, permit fees are not included in the ordinance because they are periodically subject to review.

Ayes: Ketchum, Krepps, Goodrich, Hayhoe, Hope, Jenks

PETITION FOR CHANGE OF ZONE, CASE NO. 05-779, HIAWATHA PARK DEVELOPMENT, A-1, AGRICULTURAL, TO R-1C, ONE FAMILY MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, INTRODUCTION AND FIRST CONSIDERATION

The Board reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission.

HOPE MOVED UPON INTRODUCTION AND FIRST CONSIDERATION,
TO APPROVE THE REZONING OF CASE NO. 05-779, TAX PARCEL NUMBER 33-25-05-26-100-001, THE NORTHEAST ¼ OF THE NORTHWEST ¼ OF SECTION 26, HIAWATHA PARK DEVELOPMENT, FROM A-1, AGRICULTURAL, TO R-1C, ONE FAMILY MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION BASED ON IT BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

Al McFadyen commented that the applicant originally requested R-1E (One-family High Density Residential) zoning and the Planning Commission rejected it; however, the Planning Commission supported the R-1C, One-family Medium Density Residential, zoning, which is consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan.

Bruce Stewart, representing L. D. Clark & the Hiawatha Group – explained why they went along with the R-1C rezoning, which allows for a minimum of an 80-ft. frontage and 10,000 sq. ft. side lots. Mr. Stewart commented that the proposed site has a drain running through it; however, no determination has been made yet on the extent of the wetlands.

Dave Decker, 4394 Yarrow Dr. – commented that his property backs up to the property being considered for rezoning. Mr. Decker expressed his concerns about the wetlands on the site and he asked about a wetland study and what the development impact would be on the wetlands. Mr. Stewart responded that at this point there isn’t any type of developed plan for the property. If there is regulated wetlands, then they would go through the review process with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and work around their guidelines. Mr. Decker commented that he believes a wetland study should be done prior to any rezoning. Mr. Stewart commented that in order for L. D. Clark and the Hiawatha Park Development Group to evaluate the potential of the property, they have to know that there is potential for development. Mr. Stewart further commented that the proposed R-1C zoning meets with the Comprehensive Development Plan and that they would follow the Township and State requirements in protecting the environment.

Al McFadyen, Dir. of Community Development, commented that there was very little discussion at the April 25, 2005 Planning Commission meeting on this rezoning request, which is consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan.

2. A NEW SWITCH BUILDING WITH 3,000 SQ. FT. IS PERMITTED.

Mr. McFadyen further commented that Comcast would be requesting a change in the landscape buffering and the driveway composition at the May 9, 2005 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.

Michael Belt, Architect, Ledy Design Group, answered various questions relative to the proposed modifications to the tower site, which would include removing 11 utility poles and 10 of the 11 dishes on the site.

There was a 6% voter turnout at the polls; however, the absentee voters brought the total voter turnout up to 11%. Because of the new voting equipment, all of the precincts were in and the results sent to the county before 10:00 p.m., which is very unusual on election night.

Dennis Greenman, 1660 Stonehaven Dr. – expressed concern about low voter turnouts and he asked if signs could be displayed encouraging people to vote.
