MARION
PINES SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Nick Bolhouse from Kebs Engineering
was present on behalf of this project. Mr.
Bolhouse said the only
outstanding
issue is the Master
Deed revisions with
Mike Kehoe
, the attorney for Marion Pines, and Kebs’
attorney.
On May 2, they submitted 15 copies of the revised
Master Deed and Bylaws.
They sent an email to
Mike Kehoe on April 29, and haven’t heard back from him.
Dave
Hamann
motioned to approve the Marion Pines
development contingent upon final resolution of the Master Deed and Condominium
Bylaws between the township
attorney and
the
applicant’s attorney, and no land use permits will be issued until
resolved. Tammy Beal seconded.
Discussion:
Dan Lowe asked if the procedures are clear for approval of the road.
Phil Westmoreland
said it
would be
addressed at the pre-construction meeting.
Motion carried 5-0.
Road Maintenance Program:
Bob Hanvey said he and Steve Williams attended a meeting at the LCRC
today. Mr. Williams,
5118 Hinchey
Road, summarized the meeting. The
LCRC proposed a three-year plan for the roads.
The first year would be
spent working on the ditching and removing trees,
the next year would be removal and prep work with sand and
gravel, and the third year would be paving.
Mr. Hanvey said they discussed the ways to maximum the return on the
township’s investment in roads. One of the best ways to help preserve the longevity
of the gravel roads is to do
more dust control. The LCRC said typically if they
do pave a road, within a year or so, the number of
trips on the
road tends to double.
Phil Westmoreland
discussed the proposal submitted by OHM for a five-year road
maintenance
program.
Dave Hamann
motioned to postpone this item until the next meeting. Paula Wyckoff
seconded.
Motion carried 5-0.
Parker High School Line
Bob Hanvey said that Rick Terres had some discussions with
OHM regarding the LCRC’s recommendation for
the depth of the force main.
Phil Westmoreland
said they want to put the force main, at least in one spot, 35 feet
deep. Mr. Westmoreland is concerned from a
number of perspectives. He’s
not sure HDPE can be that deep,
and it makes it impossible to maintain it.
Love’s
Creek/Sesame Road
Special Assessment
Phil Westmoreland
met with the representatives, and they would like to reduce some of the
costs by doing some
of the contracting, inspection, drain clean out, etc.
Bob Hanvey said a similar request has been made by Hidden
Valley. They will be coming back to
the Board for further discussion.
Mr. Hanvey said the requirements of
Public Act 188 should be
rigorously followed.
Dan Lowe motioned to forward the
township attorney’s letter, as modified, to Mr. Ward and the Livingston
County
Building Department.
Dave Hamann
seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
COMMUNITY WASTEWATER UTILITY
SYSTEMS GENERAL ORDINANCE
Dave
Hamann
said the township attorney should review this.
Bob Hanvey asked the board members to send
comments to him and he will forward to
Mike Kehoe
.

RECREATION REPRESENTATIVE

Hamann
motioned to appoint Paula Wyckoff as the Parks &
Recreation representative.
