Planning Committee and Board of Appeals Vacancy

With the retirement of Chairman Deneys and members Brianna Kupsky and Dennis Parmar stepping down, the Town will need people to fill positions on the Planning Committee and Board of Appeals.

Please review the below information and if interested in serving on either committee, email or mail (information below) to the Town Clerk with a letter outlining your skills and qualifications prior to March 18th, 2025.

Planning Committee – The Committee provides oversight that assists our community in governing growth and future development. The committee oversees the town’s development review processes, site plan reviews, rezoning, conditional use and special use permits, variance requests, and proposed amendments to ordinances. The committee is also responsible for developing and updating the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and assisting in the preparation of adopted plans, ordinances, zoning policies, planning documents and maps. Membership is for two years with meetings monthly generally on the second Tuesday of the month at 6 pm.

Board of Appeals – The Board of Appeals is a body appointed to hear and decide appeals, interpret the Zoning Ordinance, and to approve or deny variances. Another responsibility of the Board is to provide an appeal mechanism for property owners who believe that the Town has made an error in interpreting the zoning ordinance. The Board only meets when needed, generally once or twice a year.

Lot Size Ordinance Sub Committee Information

A subcommittee of the Town Planning Committee was tasked with looking at lot sizes and setbacks for the Town, comparing with other jurisdictions and coming up with recommendations. The attached graphs show the work of the subcommittee. The Town Planning committee will continue to discuss this issue. A public hearing will be held in the future for input.

Pulaski Water Public Service Commision Decision

The Public Service Commision has made a decision to allow the request from the Village of Pulaski to construct a water supply pipeline from Hobart through the Township to bring lake Michigan water to the Village.

The Commision also at the same meeting denied Howard’s request to extend a 16 inch water main from County Road C and Shawano Ave, west down Glendale and then north on County Road U into the Township. Howard’s position was that this large main is necessary for “probable” future growth. The Commission held a position in their denial that Howard’s projection was more “possible, then probable”.

The Town was involved in this process supporting Pulaski’s request and objecting to Howard’s request.

In the end the Commission ended up agreeing with the position of the Town.
