| Agenda: | Chairperson Curtis told the audience that the agenda tonight was to discuss zoning | |||
| on Saginaw St. and a clear concise summary that will pull the entire Master plan | ||||
| together. | ||||
| Chairperson Curtis said that Vienna Rd. was discussed at the last meeting but there | ||||
| are several residents here to discuss it so we will let them speak. | ||||
| Discussion from the residents suggested they did not want commercial | ||||
| zoning west of the expressway. | ||||
| Chairperson Curtis said that BDA guidelines called for buffer zones between RA-RSA | ||||
| and C-2, and the fact that the Board has to try to accomadate everyone. | ||||
| Bob Palmer said that on a State Hwy. There has to be a portion zoned commercial | ||||
| and that we have to expect growth west of the expressway and beyond. He further | ||||
| explained that the Genesee County Planning Commission will have to approve the | ||||
| new Master Plan and there must be some consideration given to growth. | ||||
| Bob Palmer explained that the two major highways in the township are Vienna and | ||||
| Saginaw Rds, and that is where we want the growth to be. Saginaw Rd is now all | ||||
| zoned C-2 for the first 350', which creats split zoning, and it has created many | ||||
| problems. | ||||
| Saginaw Rd | The new plan for Saginaw Rd is to take away all split zoning. Bob Palmer presented | |||
| a drawing on how he feels the road should be zoned. Commercial areas as well as | ||||
| multi-family and residential areas. | ||||
| There was a general concensus amongst the Board's that Bob's plan | ||||
| for Saginaw Rd was acceptable, and much better than it is now. | ||||
| The next joint meeting will be September 26, 2002 at 5:30pm. | ||||
| Meeting adjourned at 7:27pm. | ||||
