met.
[0:03]
Um and they'll go through a final
planning uh site review upon their
[0:09]
completion.
[0:12]
And I know junkyard passed their
site
[0:17]
fire code review.
The other one we can't discuss, but I
[0:21]
will like say
[0:24]
Riding, you come up here and make these
assumptions cuz you know we cannot reply
[0:29]
and but please make them accurate and
true.
[0:32]
That's all I got to say.
>> And also um in regards to Brothers Auto,
[0:39]
they did not have to go back to the
planning commission. They are
[0:42]
non-conformant. You cannot take a
non-conformant away because of the fire.
[0:46]
It's a Michigan state law.
That's the law. So and I did make sure
[0:51]
that Robert got caught up.
>> go through planning cuz it's a
[0:55]
non-conformant site.
>> Right. They do not have to go through
[0:57]
planning because it is a non-conformant
and it has been
[1:01]
went through the county. Everything's
been done correctly.
[1:05]
» And what happens too, that I've said
this before and I stated it out once and
[1:08]
I'll state it again.
Had we have a fought this man and not
[1:12]
allowed him to replace his building,
right? One, we'd have been in the wrong.
[1:18]
Two,
Lance Confection, the gas station, the
[1:22]
restaurant, township hall, any of the uh
the grocery store in town or liquor
[1:27]
store, whatever you want to call it, all
these buildings, if they were to burn
[1:31]
down, you can't rebuild them if we were
allowed to him
[1:35]
if we had not allowed him to rebuild.
If you can't rebuild, you can't get
[1:39]
insurance.
You cannot get the place to you can't
[1:42]
get anybody to finance you if you try to
buy or sell a place.
[1:46]
So that's just completely is a complete
asinine ordeal that thank God we got
[1:52]
rectified.
>> Yeah. Well, it's it's plain as day. It's
[1:57]
uh
Look at the Michigan State Law. It's
[1:59]
very clear. You cannot take away a
non-conformance because of a fire.
[2:04]
Very clear. Black and white.
[2:13]
» Once again, our zoning ordinance cannot
override state law.
[2:17]
» Yeah, doesn't matter what the township
ordinance said if it doesn't comply with
[2:21]
the state law. That's not the
You the law's going to the Michigan
[2:26]
State Law is going to supersede the
township every time. Just like the
[2:29]
county's going to supersede the
township.
[2:32]
Local, county, federal, state, federal.
>> And another thing that's of dire
[2:37]
importance, it's very important that
this gets told.
[2:43]
They the fire chief is asking for help.
He needs men, boots on the ground.
[2:50]
And you and and to I vote I vote for
his uh
[2:56]
millage get passed. He need they need
help because on multiple occasions he's
[3:01]
come to the aid of my mother who's
passed away now, but thank God they were
[3:05]
there. There's a lot of people in this
community
[3:09]
that one man
in his striving 40s
[3:14]
needs help to do.
Uh
[3:17]
uh he needs help. And there's no other
way around it. The only time you're
[3:20]
going to
piss and moan and cry, I said it I
[3:24]
did good. Wrong time anybody's going to
complain and cry is when they need that
[3:28]
help and nobody's there.
So it needs to be that it's very very
[3:34]
important that he's asking for money and
finances
[3:38]
for more men on the ground.
>> I just want to make one comment on that.
[3:45]
The chief is asking to help us.
You know, it's not to help him, right?
[3:50]
He's asking to help the community. That
That helped him personally. He's coming
[3:54]
here every time. He's talking to people.
He's doing a great job of explaining
[3:58]
what's needed for us.
>> That's right.
[4:01]
» What were you saying Sue about
>> Well, I got two things. So, Pete, yeah.
[4:06]
So, you're going to do the math on this,
so I need to answer your question about
[4:09]
1 or 2 years.
>> [laughter]
[4:12]
» Since you're not going to do the math,
I'm not going to explain it. But,
[4:15]
actually
>> I'll come in I'll come in and see you.
[4:18]
» Okay.
>> I'll be
[4:19]
» Because I I can tell you what we did
for this situation to to get the maximum
[4:26]
benefit out out of our water loss that's
just in its infancy.
[4:31]
That, you know, it's been lowered for,
you know, 5 months, so.
[4:34]
» I'll I'll come in and see you.
>> And we did I think we did good. So, I
[4:38]
want to ask Keith,
you made in your report that the
[4:42]
planning commission went through
two pages.
[4:45]
» Four.
>> Four.
[4:47]
» Oh, Facebook, too.
>> So, how many How many pages is that data
[4:52]
center ordinance that they're reviewing?
And how long have they been
[4:56]
» It's like 20
20 something. They just started.
[5:00]
And they have three more.
>> And And And when did it start?
[5:04]
» This was like last last week.
>> This is the second
[5:08]
This is
>> This was first meeting next week. This
[5:12]
last Wednesday.
>> So, so
[5:14]
» meeting we're going to have.
>> So, we did not have the planner
[5:18]
bring this up at
our meeting and their meeting until last
[5:24]
meeting.
Like they just started on this.
[5:27]
» Yeah.
>> No, it's it's come up before.
[5:30]
» Well, it came up before, but we're going
to start reviewing it.
[5:34]
» But, no, I mean, there was another
ordinance that they said they
[5:38]
Yeah, that they didn't
agree with at all. So, then he went and
[5:43]
found a different more suitable
>> So, when was that?
[5:46]
» That was months ago.
>> Maybe 5
[5:50]
April, May.
6 months ago.
[5:53]
» So
it's 20 pages and they went through two
[5:58]
pages. So, what what what is the plan to
go through this 20 pages?
[6:03]
Do they have a plan?
>> Yeah.
[6:05]
» I mean, I'm concerned. I went to the
planning commission and unfortunately
[6:09]
this last meeting and I could not stay
and I didn't I wanted to ask do you have
[6:15]
an outline? Do you have a plan because I
was a little concerned with we're going
[6:18]
to do two pages at a time.
But we can also go back and revisit
[6:24]
if we're not sure later. So, we're going
to we can circle back and Robert York
[6:29]
said that three times and I was very
concerned with that. Like
[6:33]
this is going to be a circular
I mean, what's going on? But anyway, 20
[6:38]
pages and and so how long is it going to
take to read
[6:41]
» two sections for next month.
[6:46]
Well, I don't have the whole thing.
[6:49]
But that's like four six pages.
[6:54]
» So, next time it's going to be five
pages?
[6:57]
» Yeah, right around there.
>> Okay. So, it will take them
[7:02]
» a year.
>> A year to go through it all?
[7:08]
» I don't know.
>> Well, that's not set in stone, is it?
[7:10]
Like you guys could, if you have time,
go through more, right?
[7:14]
» Yeah. I would hope so.
>> I mean, can you talk to the board or um
[7:20]
Joe or somebody and say, you know, like
what's the timeline here?
[7:25]
And how And how are I guess what threw
me is like how are how is it only two
[7:29]
pages and then how is it five pages?
Like how are you parsing this out? Like
[7:33]
what's the logic?
Like is it because
[7:37]
one subject was two pages and the The
subject is five pages? like how are you
[7:43]
» Yeah, next subject is five
>> how many pages?
[7:46]
» Five.
>> Is that what it is?
[7:48]
» yeah.
>> Okay, so then we can guess how many
[7:53]
sections are there.
How many pages are going to parse the
[7:58]
rest of this out?
We're doing math.
[8:02]
It's scary.
Well, I I'm not you know
[8:07]
We'll do a moratorium, but you know,
this thing the whole point of the
[8:11]
moratorium as you've all stated and you
all know is to write an ordinance,
[8:14]
right?
>> only thing
[8:15]
» So, we need to get that completed.
>> That's the only thing you use a
[8:19]
moratorium for.
>> That's what you use it for. This is for
[8:23]
that.
Okay, that's on to
[8:26]
I'll talk to Peter again.
>> I can respond to the cell tower. They
[8:30]
just got their soil erosion permit, so
they're moving ahead.
[8:34]
» They are moving ahead. Did you hear
that?
[8:36]
» Yeah, unfortunately I did, yeah.
>> And Pete
[8:39]
» And I got to say that
>> And we didn't we didn't know nothing
[8:41]
about
>> It just It just came.
[8:43]
» Actually, cuz the hold up was they were
waiting on
[8:46]
the fire review, right?
>> Colin?
[8:50]
» Did they pass the fire review?
>> That That I don't know if they passed
[8:52]
that, but I know they finally got their
soil erosion.
[8:56]
» The soil erosion is passed the site plan
fire
[8:59]
» Let's get out of here. You guys want to
hang out a little longer, let's go home.
[9:10]
» All in favor?
>> I.
