5-0. OLD BUSINESS Premier
Farms update – Planner to summarize the next stage of Planning Commission
review John Enos summarized his memo of June 13, 2007.
This is the biggest project in Mark Janeck told the Planning Commission members the next
step is engineering plans. He
has concerns regarding the money invested along with the time and effort to
develop these plans. He wants to
make certain the Planning Commission and Board of Trustees are in general
acceptance with the plan. The
layout may change slightly and he does not want the Planning Commission and
Board of Trustees to request major changes after the preliminary engineering
plans are finished. The density
may change based on the width of the roads. Mark Janeck would like a road width of 28' from back of curb
from back of curb. The Planning Commission members are concerned with a 28'
private road. Will this include
parking on one side of the street? There
have been problems with HomeTown Village of Marion and the narrow width of
the road. Mark Janeck will include parking on one side of the road. Phil Westmoreland recommended a 32' private road with 28' of
pavement, including curb and gutter the total will be 32'.
Phil Westmoreland will call the Howell Area Fire Authority and check
to see if this is what they need for emergency vehicles. Debra Wiedman-Clawson asked Mark Janeck if he has seen the
email from a resident on Mark Janeck acknowledged, yes he is aware of the email. John Lowe asked if Mark Janeck would be available in the
near future to walk the site and if the other Planning Commission members
would find this helpful. The
Board of Trustees can be a part of this. John Enos noted this will require publication of some sort
and it will be a meeting open to the public. Mark Janeck and the Planning Commission members agreed to
walk the site on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 starting at 6:00 p.m. and ending at
7:00 p.m. Everyone will meet at
the intersection of NEW
BUSINESS Verizon
request to co-locate on cell tower behind Marion Township Hall John Lowe asked John Enos if he had any comments. John Enos stated this is straightforward and he has no
comments. James L. Anderson asked the size of the antenna. David Antoun said 4’ x 1’ wide on a crows nest, there
are 4 antennas on each side and three sides. James L. Anderson asked if they could match the antenna that
is already on the tower. David Antoun said everyone’s antennas are different. John Lowe noted the building is substantially larger than
the existing AT&T cabinet. James L. Anderson asked if the diesel fuel is in its own
room, he is concerned with containment if there is a spill, does the
structure have the volume area necessary. Phil Westmoreland and James L. Anderson went over the
calculations and James L. Anderson was satisfied with the safety of the
building and surrounding area. Jean Root motioned to give preliminary/final approval to
Verizon to co-locate on the mono pole located behind Marion Township Hall.
The Planning Commission has confirmed the total containment area in
case of spills. Debra Wiedman
Clawson seconded. Roll

Anderson yes; John Lowe yes. Motion
Carried 5-0. Resident
request to review definition of Nuisance – Section 3.02 Jerry McClure, Marlas Grieger, Tammy Rabideau, John Lowe asked John Enos if there was anything in the
Zoning Ordinance or General Ordinance that would address this. John Enos said this is part of the rural character yet there
will be future growth and Marlas Grieger, A previous civil suit the township knew of was discussed and
the possibility of the Marlas Grieger, Debra Wiedman Clawson is concerned if the township enacted a
zoning ordinance it would not address a pre-existing condition. John Enos agreed a general ordinance would be retroactive. Debra Wiedman Clawson also noted two other townships
recently had the same issue; they took the homeowner to court and shut down
the track. Annette McNamara will ask Mike Kehoe for direction on
sending a notice of violation based on a definition for nuisance. Jean Root will draft a memo to the Board of Trustees and
request their thoughts on a civil infraction bureau, the definition of
nuisance and a general ordinance addressing nuisance.
She will ask for their response in writing. Proposed
Amendment – Section 17.10 Wireless Communication Facilities John Enos said the changes are based on discussion and
concerns with the existing text. The Planning Commission members reviewed the proposed text
and requested the following changes. Page 1 of 7; Section B #1 - place a period after Rural
Residential and the last sentence should read "The location of any WCA
shall not exceed two hundred (200) feet in height unless:" Page 2 of 7; Section B #7 - delete Planning Commission
review and add text for administrative review along with criteria for that
review. Page 3 of 7; Section C 1 i - include contacting the Page 5 of 7; Section C 3 b second paragraph - add shall
require propagation maps for all co-locators and all towers within Marion
Township boundaries and 2 miles into contiguous communities. Page 6 of 7; Section C 3 e #7 - include text to make
applicant aware that a review and comment may be required by an independent
radio frequency engineer. Page 7 of 7; Section C 4 c #4 - strike number four. Page 7 of 7; C 5 - John Enos will provide text on bond for
removal of tower to be renewed every five years. Discussion ensued regarding a site plan review that has not
been acted upon in the last eight months.
The Planning Commission requested additional info and the applicant
has yet to submit this material. Can
a letter be sent to the applicant requesting they withdraw their
application? Can the application
be denied due to no submittals? John Enos will discuss with Mike Kehoe the above
possibilities and Annette McNamara will find out which zoning ordinance the
applicant would have to follow if the text is amended prior to them building
the mono pole. The Planning Commission members reviewed the definitions
John Enos provided for Wireless Communication Facilities and asked John Enos
to pull out the best text and bring it back to the Planning Commission for
