GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Staﬀ and Commissioners
Maintain and expand working relationships with the Board of Trustees and other departments
within the township.
The Commission and staﬀ have worked directly with the Board of Trustees to address zoning ordinance
amendments, special land use permits, and zoning enforcement. Meeting agendas, minutes, and
reports are shared between the Commission and Township Board. The Planning Director attends most
Board meetings to facilitate communication. Staﬀ works closely with the Deputy Clerk on necessary
public hearing notices, and posting of minutes and agendas on the township’s website.
Encourage commissioners and staﬀ to attend continuing education seminars as well as explore the
possibility of in-house training.
Polverento attended the Michigan Association of Planning’s renewable energy spring workshop.
Keep operating expenses in line with the approved budget.
Staﬀ and commissioners reviewed the proposed budget for 2026 in accordance with bylaw 6.1.
Continue to maintain a manual for new commissioners in order to promote quality community
planning through updated education and information.
Staﬀ compile relevant articles and educational materials for these manuals throughout the year. A new
member of the Zoning Board of Appeals was appointed in July 2025, and a new member of the
Planning Commission was appointed in March 2025. Manuals were provided to each new member,
along with an invitation to take part in future training opportunities.
Continue to develop and maintain a departmental website to provide a venue to both developers
and residents.
This continues to be essential in directing residents, builders, developers and others to relevant
applications, information, and news from the township. Staﬀ was able to direct residents, developers,
contractors, and others to the department’s web page for permitting applications, as well as other
information and resources in 2025. Staﬀ updated permit application forms and revamped the
department website for permits with help from the Deputy Clerk in 2025.
Engagement, Eﬃciency, and Enforcement
Ensure that civil infraction penalties are implemented for zoning ordinance violations.
In 2025, staﬀ in the Planning and Zoning oﬃce addressed several zoning violations. Most violations
were related to either junk or junk motor vehicles.
Staﬀ worked closely with the Mid-Michigan District Health Department regarding a failed septic system
on Wacousta Road.
Several additional violations were reported in 2025, but either could not be veriﬁed, or did not meet the
violation parameters.
Encourage public involvement in planning and zoning eﬀorts.
Staﬀ and Commissioners have made a concerted eﬀort to actively inform and involve citizen
participation in the planning process.
The Commission continues to post all meeting agendas and approved meeting minutes online.
Continue to analyze existing trends and conditions within planning and zoning programs to manage
growth and community character.
PLANNING COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT

Page 61 of 66

RETURN TO AGENDA

This analysis was completed as part of the master plan update with the assistance of consulting ﬁrm
Giﬀels Webster.
Continue and improve eﬃciency in procedures for residents and developers seeking development
permits.
Staﬀ worked diligently to update the Permits & Applications page of the website to improve the
information provided and the instructions for application.
Minimize land-use conﬂicts and promote public health, safety, and general welfare.
Staﬀ and the Building Inspector monitor approved projects to verify proper permits before construction
begins on a given site. Staﬀ works with local agencies to verify permit compliance requirements.
Plans and Ordinances
Conduct an annual review of the fee schedule as a part of the annual budget process, to ensure that
operating costs are being covered in accordance with the annual budget.
Staﬀ reviews the fee schedule on a biennial basis and makes recommendations for adjustments when
deemed appropriate. This review was conducted in 2024.
Review and update, if appropriate, the Planning Commission Bylaws.
In 2024, the Planning Commission revised several of their bylaws. No amendments were made in 2025.
The Zoning Board of Appeals made several amendments to their bylaws in 2025, improving consistency
with the Planning Commission’s bylaws, improving clarity on several topics, and ensuring statutes and
ordinance references were updated and accurate.
These amendments were adopted by the Zoning Board of Appeals at their regular meetings on August
13, 2025.
Review and update the Capital Improvements Plan.
The Capital Improvements Plan is a six-year plan, and was valid from 2019-2024. An update to this
plan is due at this time.
Continue ongoing evaluation of the Zoning Ordinance in order to facilitate necessary amendments:
to clarify language of the Ordinance; add new zoning techniques; add new uses to zoning districts;
continually review existing standards; and implement possible changes in procedure.
The Planning Commission’s Ordinance Review Committee met regularly to consider updates to the solar
energy systems section of the ordinance, and to develop language to address battery energy storage
systems. Revisions to the sign deﬁnitions were adopted in 2025, and progress is continuing to update
the speciﬁc sign regulations. A moratorium for solar energy systems was enacted by the township
board to develop rules to allow the use as an accessory use in the light industrial district.
Continue the Master Plan update process and submit document to the Board of Trustees.
The Master Plan was adopted in March 2024.
Long Range
Staﬀ and Commissioners will be trained to understand increasingly technical information within the
ﬁelds of planning, zoning, and environmental issues.
The Commission and staﬀ continue to look at ways to implement trending issues and emerging topics
within the zoning ordinance.
As staﬀ and Commissioners attempt to deal with increased development pressure, they must
become more knowledgeable about projects and their potential eﬀects on the community. They
PLANNING COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT

Page 62 of 66

RETURN TO AGENDA

must actively pursue greater public awareness and involvement in the planning process.
The public notice procedure is strictly followed. Every eﬀort is made to ensure that the township
website is also updated to keep the citizens informed. Staﬀ provides relevant articles for the township
newsletter.
Staﬀ and Commissioners are prepared to consider alternatives to problematic land use issues.

2008, as amended. This plan was updated in 2016, and a required ﬁve-year update was completed in
2024. In 2025, the Planning Commission and department made progress on some of the goals,
objectives and action items outlined in the previous and updated master plan, including:
Provide educational materials regarding the importance of proper maintenance of well and septic
systems.
In 2025, staﬀ served as Chair of the Groundwater Management Board, which developed multiple
materials related to this topic. These materials are shared in the front hall of the township oﬃces, on
the sigh-in table at public meetings, and on the township’s website. Further, a resource for low-interest
ﬁnancing for homeowners to replace failing or near-failing septic systems was added to the Township’s
website, and information was shared in the Township’s newsletter in 2025.
Work to recruit new and retain existing commercial, industrial, research and technology uses in the
Township.
In 2025, the Plumbers and Pipeﬁtters Local 333 began an addition to their facility on National Parkway.
Zimmerman Land received a special land use permit for an open air business at the Francis Road and
Grand River Avenue intersection, and has completed preliminary site work.
Allow for high-density, single-family residential growth in areas where community services, including
public safety, utilities, and transportation networks are provided.
Staﬀ continues to work with local agencies, including the Clinton County Road Commission, Clinton
County Drain Commissioner, and SCCMUA to ensure infrastructure requirements throughout the
township’s subdivisions are satisﬁed. In 2025, road infrastructure improvements in both Lakeside
Preserve and Nottingham Fields were completed.
Foster good communication and partnerships with local agencies, utilities and other organizations to
ensure full compliance with all regulations and requirements before, during and after development
