SOLAR * SPOT * ON !

The Planning Commission met with Sherri Buss this last Wednesday night. Draft ordinance language for residential solar use was addressed. On January 12th at 7:00 p.m., the Commission will consider commercial uses.

The Commission is planning to provide some time at the beginning of the February Special Meeting (yet to be scheduled) for input from you, should you have some you would like to offer. The draft solar ordinance will be on the Township's website page; residential now, then commercial after the January meeting. If this is something that interests you, please read and consider the draft.

The idea for the start of the February special meeting is to hear from the public in the earlier stages BEFORE it goes to a public hearing, as well as AT the public hearing when that is scheduled. After all, we work for you!

The next chapter in the Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 2, "Natural, Agricultural and Cultural Resources," was revised. At the January 12th meeting, the Commission will work with Sherri on Chapter 3, "Land Use." We are making good progress so far and hope to continue.

Also coming up is a public hearing in January right before the Planning Commission regular meeting on the 4th. The topic is a draft sump pump ordinance. Discharge from such pumps is addressed.
