Zoning Administrator's Report

Trevor brought it to the attention of the commission members that any monies collected by the county on behalf of the township for zoning violation citations are held up due to the fact that the township has not filed paperwork with the County Clerk allowing the proper transfer of funds.  It is due to this oversight that a previous $500 fine is still sitting in the county’s bank account.  The matter will be straightened out before any further citations are issued.

 

Report on the Recreation Plan

Mike talked about the informational meetings held on February 18 and March 1, and about the first wave of responses to the Recreation Plan Input Survey.  The survey asked people to list the recreational activities that they regularly enjoy.  The three most listed activities were Walking/Hiking, Fishing, and Hunting.  From a list of recreational assets in the community that people use or attend, the four highest chosen were Razzasque Days, the Farmers Market and a tie between the Library and the Parks/Pavilions.

Over half of the respondents supported the idea of building indoor restrooms for Snowmobilers, Bicyclists, and Hikers, et al.  And there was a fair amount of support for music and movies in the park as well as The LeRoy Loop walking trail.
