Planning Commission Template

Note:  This following document was typed from a document that John Scherrer gave to one of the Mostetler Road neighbors on 24 Feb 2011.

It appears to be a working document template for the Planning Commission members to use as they resolve the conditions they plan to place on Michigan Moto Mania Campground and Resort.

This is the shoe horn that the Planning Commission will be using to make the Motocross and ORV track fit into an area where it does not belong.  They will pick and choose points from the Hayes Township Zoning Ordinance and the Hayes Township Master Plan to support their decision to approve Mr. Longenecker's Special Use while ignoring the many other points that do not support their decision.
