9th planning meeting is set
The Van Buren Township Planning Commission will host a ninth meeting on future land use Sept. 27 in a series dedicated to the township south side master plan.
All residents—property owners, business owners, civic and community groups—are encouraged to attend and participate. The two-hour session will start at 7:30 p.m. at Van Buren Township Hall, located at 46425 Tyler Road and focus on the draft of the south side master plan for Van Buren Township.
Township officials started the process in February. The south side of the township includes the land area between the I-94 expressway and Bemis Road to the south and Rawsonville Road on the west to Hannan Road on the east. The update should be complete in the late fall of 2006, according to officials.
The agenda will include a presentation of land use alternative called the Belleville Center Plan. Data from the various visioning sessions, planning and land use exercises, along with public comment received from area residents, property and business owners and the board of trustees will be included. The community wants to adopt a vision created by the residents of the township to guide future land use in the southern portion of the township, according to officials.
Community planning consultants from McKenna Associates from Northville and township officials will attend the meeting.
Officials hope many people will attend the workshop.
