Forks Township Comprehensive Plan Review

Forks Township residents got a chance to provide input to the Forks Comprehensive plan. About 38 residents reviewed the various township maps (Zoning, Bike trials, land use, etc) and meet the members of the Planning Commission during an open house prior to regular meeting.

The public talked to the Planning Commission members about the proposed extension of Ramblewood to Sullivan Trial. About a third of the audience expressed their concern the proposed extension would decrease their Quality of Life. One resident stated the “Truths of yesterday are not the truths of today”. This is a good thought to remember as the Planning Commission finalizes the Comprehensive plan,

Other residents talked about including a broad vision statement into the plan, implement proposals to increase open space, and adding water table maps.

The Planning Commission will discuss the public input at the April 22, 2008 workshop. The workshop will start at 7:00 PM.

I would to express my appreciation to all the citizens who attended the meeting. I believe that public participation is a critical element for developing a good plan.

If you have any ideas or comments about critical issues facing Forks Township, please share your ideas via our blog.

Get Involved – Every Voice Counts!
