Donahey reported on Planning Commission’s public hearing on proposed change of RR-2 to FF-2 along West Townline, Stutsmanville and Terpening Rds. Township Board requested that the Planning Commission put detailed rationale in writing as to why the request is being made.
County Case #50-04 FR Forest Recreation District proposed by the County-
Scott moved, Donahey seconded, PASSED, that Board approve and forward to county the Friendship Township Planning Commission comments as follows:
1. It should state that it is all public lands that are covered: state land (forests, etc.), township land (parks, forest, etc.), county and city lands (same).
2. Any land covered besides public land is strictly voluntary
3. Would like to see the minimum lot width larger (300 ft seems too narrow)
4. Frontage requirements on roads don’t make sense as many of these parcels are landlocked.
and, in addition, in keeping with Friendship Township Master Plan and vision for its future, that the minimum lot size be kept as large as possible. (4-0)
Water testing program - Scott recommends not pursuing program as had been envisioned.
Donahey reported that spring clean-up costs for Readmond Township, with a central location drop off style clean up- were $3,880. There is to be an insert in the December tax bills letting constituents know that the roadside pick up will no longer be held, due to lack of a waster hauler.
