Besides Wes Kenney and Don Atkinson, both members of the Hayes Township Planning Commission, there are other potential problems and conflicts on the Planning Commission.
Nola Hopkins is a resident of Mostetler Road.
Tom Malone participated in the Polaris WOTT even in Aug 2010 at Michigan Moto Mania. This event was a violation of the stay that was on the Gamble-Longenecker property at the time. Judge Mienk declared it to be a violation of the stay, and as of yet, nothing has been done about that violation or the two Planning Commission members who participated. Participation in the event is a misdemeanor according to the Hayes Township Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Malone should recuse himself from voting on anything pertaining to Michigan Moto Mania.
Lee Dancer admitted in front of all who were in attendance at the 21 Dec 2010 regular meeting of the Hayes Township Board of Trustees, that he does not know or understand what's in the Hayes Township Zoning Ordinance. He is the Member of the Board of Trustees who is also a member of the Planning Commission. It is the job of the Planning Commission to implement the Zoning Ordinance in taking decisions about zoning issues. How on earth can Mr. Dancer take a decision about anything meaningful pertaining to the Hayes Township Zoning Ordinance while remaining ignorant of the content of the ordinance? On what basis did Mr. Dancer decide on the last Special Use request made by Doug Longenecker? Did he vote the way he was told to vote? Because by his own admission, he could not have based his vote on the Zoning Ordinance. One can only hope that Mr. Dancer will take the time to inform himself on the contents of the Hayes Township Zoning Ordinance before he votes on Mr. Longenecker's new Special Use application.
Maybe this time they will all vote independently of one another. It's almost too much to ask.
