5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, May 19, 2014, 7:00 p.m. to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of ten (10) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, July 7, 2014 following the 7:00 p.m. public hearing for Square Lake Water Quality Control (Pump Maintenance/Replacement) SAD #1, to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction over any dispute involving the special assessment. If approved by the Township Board, the hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance or protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of eight (8) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, July 7, 2014, immediately following the 7:00 pm hearings for Square Lake SAD #1 (Pump Maintenance/Replacement) and Square Lake SAD #3 (Weed/Algae Control), to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction over any dispute involving the special assessment. If approved by the Township Board, the hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance or protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of ten (10) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, July 7, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction over any dispute involving the special assessment. If approved by the Township Board, the hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance or protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of eight (8) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, July 7, 2014, immediately following the 7:00 pm hearings for Square Lake SAD #1 (Pump Maintenance/Replacement) and Square Lake SAD #3 (Weed/Algae Control), to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.

If approved by the Township Board, the hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance or protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, July 7, 2014, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XXX, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Section 30.03, to modify the review process including plan review and public hearing procedures and eliminate the appeal process; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXX is amended by adding the herein after language in the Article as follows:
ARTICLE XXX ? Administrative Procedures & Standards
* * *
Section 30.03 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)
* * *
A. Intent. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) may be applied for in any zoning district. The granting of a PUD application shall require a rezoning by way of amendment to this Ordinance upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approval of the Township Board. The procedure for rezoning is that which is authorized by the Zoning Enabling Act (Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended), as contained in Section 503.
* * *
G. Procedures for Review and Approval.
* * *
5. Concept Plan. Following the optional pre-application conference, the applicant shall submit a Concept Plan and application for the proposed PUD.
* * *
e. Public Hearing. The Concept Plan shall be noticed for a joint public hearing before the Planning Commission and Township Board, in accordance with the procedures, public notice, and hearing requirements for rezoning approval as set forth in Section 30.04. If the number of Township Board members attending the public hearing constitutes a quorum, then the public hearing required by the Township Board (Section 30.03 (G)(6)(e)) shall be fulfilled and an additional public hearing at the Final PUD stage shall not be necessary. If the number of Township Board members attending the public hearing constitutes less than a quorum then only the public hearing of the Planning Commission shall be considered fulfilled and the Township Board shall fulfill its requirement to hold a public hearing at the Final PUD stage. If any Township Board member or Planning Commissioner is unable to attend the joint public hearing, they may submit written comments to the Township Clerk, who will read them into the minutes of the hearing.
If, during the pre-application conference, the Township representatives determine that a Minor PUD may be submitted, the concurrent Concept Plan and Final Plan shall be noticed for a joint public hearing before the Planning Commission and Township Board, in accordance with the procedures, public notice, and hearing requirements for rezoning approval set forth in Section 30.04. If the number of Township Board members attending the public hearing constitutes a quorum, then the public hearing required by the Township Board (Section 30.03 (G)(6)(e)) shall be fulfilled and an additional public hearing by the Township Board shall not be necessary. If the number of Township Board members attending the public hearing constitutes less than a quorum, then only the public hearing of the Planning Commission shall be considered fulfilled and the Township Board shall fulfill its requirement to hold a public hearing separately. If a Township Board member or Planning Commissioner is unable to attend the joint public hearing, they may submit written comments to the Township Clerk, who will read them into the minutes of the hearing.
* * *
g. Planning Commission Action. Following the public hearing, or at a subsequent Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission shall review the Concept Plan and shall take one of the following actions:
* * *
h. Township Board Action. If the Concept Plan has been recommended for approval, recommended for approval with conditions, or recommended for denial by the Planning Commission, the Township Board shall take the following action:
Upon finding that the Planning Commission has issued a recommendation on the Concept Plan, the Township Board may approve, approve with conditions, or deny said Concept Plan. The Township Board may also refer the Concept PUD plan back to the Planning Commission with comments. Applicant may still submit a Final Plan in accordance with Section 30.03 (G)(6), regardless of action taken by the Township Board on the Concept Plan.
i. Development Agreement. After approval of the Concept Plan by the Planning Commission, the Township shall instruct the Township Attorney to prepare a Development Agreement setting forth the conditions upon which such approval is based; which Agreement, after approval by the Township Board, shall be executed by the Township and the applicant and recorded in the Office of the County Register of Deeds. Approval of the Agreement shall be effective upon recording.
6. Final Plan. Following receipt of the Planning Commission comments on the Concept Plan, and action by the Township Board, the applicant shall submit a Final Plan and supporting materials conforming to this section. If a Final Plan is not submitted by the applicant for final approval within twelve (12) months of Township Board Concept Plan approval, the Concept Plan approval becomes null and void. The Planning Commission may, however, issue a waiver for greater periods of time if it is determined to be appropriate, as a condition of Concept Plan approval. Such extension and request of waiver shall be made prior to the expiration date.
* * *
d. Planning Commission Action. The Planning Commission shall review the Final Plan and shall take one of the following actions:
* * *
e. Township Board Final Action. The Township Board shall schedule a public hearing in accordance with the procedures, public notice, and hearing requirements for rezoning approval as set forth in Section 30.04. The public hearing conducted by the Township Board may be part of the first or second reading for a PUD zoning amendment. If the public hearing for the PUD Concept stage has been noticed as a joint meeting and a quorum of the Township Board were present, there is no need for a second public hearing to be conducted by the Township Board. If the proposed development has been approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the Planning Commission, the Township Board shall take the following action:
Upon finding that the Planning Commission has issued a recommendation on the Final Plan, the Township Board may approve, approve with conditions, deny or refer the Final Plan back to the Planning Commission. If approved the requirement for a Notice of Amendment Adoption described in Section 30.04 (G) shall also apply.
f. All actions on the Concept Plan or Final Plan by the Planning Commission and the Township Board shall state the reasons for approval, conditional approval, postponement, denial or referral back within the body of the motion.

The amendatory act adopted by the Legislature would:
1. Reduce the state use tax and replace with a local community stabilization share of the tax for the purpose of modernizing the tax system to help small businesses grow and create jobs in Michigan.
2. Require Local Community Stabilization Authority to provide revenue to local governments dedicated for local purposes, including police safety, fire protection, and ambulance emergency services.
3. Increase portion of state use tax dedicated for aid to local school districts.
4. Prohibit Authority from increasing taxes.
5. Prohibit total use tax rate from exceeding existing constitutional 6% limitation.
Should this law be approved?
PROPOSED ADDITONAL FIRE OPERATION MILLAGE
Shall the Charter Township of Orion be authorized to levy an additional one (1) mill for a period of 2 years beginning December 2014 and expiring December 2015, inclusive, to provide fire protection services to serve the Charter Township of Orion and the Village of Lake Orion, but limited to the operation and maintenance of the Orion Township Fire Department; including, the hiring of personnel and payment of wages and benefits. Approval of this proposal would authorize the levy of approximately $1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value on all taxable property in the Township and the Village of Lake Orion, a portion of which will be disbursed to the Village of Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority. It is estimated that this proposal would result in authorization to collect approximately $1,312,025.39 in the first year if approved and levied. A property with a taxable value of $50,000 would be taxed $50.00 for this millage per year.
PROPOSED ADDITIONAL FIRE CAPITAL AND EQUIPMENT MILLAGE
Shall the Charter Township of Orion be authorized to levy an additional one (1) mill for a period of 5 years beginning December 2014 and expiring December 2018, inclusive, to provide fire protection services to serve the Charter Township of Orion and the Village of Lake Orion, but limited to the capital and equipment expenditures of the Orion Township Fire Department; including the construction of new fire stations and purchase of vehicles. Approval of this proposal would authorize the levy of approximately $1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value on all taxable property in the Township and the Village of Lake Orion, a portion of which will
be disbursed to the Village of Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority. It is estimated that this proposal would result in authorization to collect approximately $1,312,025.39 in the first year if approved and levied. A property with a taxable value of $50,000 would be taxed $50.00 for this millage per year.
For Orion Township Voters in the Rochester Community School District:
OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its full foundation allowance per pupil under Proposal A. The remaining 1.9307 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of a ‘Headlee? rollback and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that rollback.
Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Rochester Community School District, Oakland and Macomb Counties, Michigan, be renewed by 19.9307 mills ($19.9307 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2015 to 2024, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2015 is approximately $17,008,062 (this is a renewal of millage which will expire with the 2014 tax levy)?

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of eight (8) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, August 18, 2014, immediately following the 7:00 pm hearing for Elkhorn Lake SAD #5 to hear and consider any objections to the assessments and to said Special Assessment Roll.
6. If the Township Board confirms the roll, a special assessment shall be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction over any dispute involving the special assessment. Appearance and protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

* * *
Section 30.01 ? Site Plan Review Procedures and Standards
A. Intent. These site plan review procedures and standards are instituted to provide an opportunity for consultation and cooperation between the applicant and the Planning Commission so as to achieve maximum utilization of land with minimum adverse effects on adjoining property. Furthermore, it is the intent of these procedures and standards to allow for review of site plans by the Planning Commission, to provide a consistent and uniform method of review, and to ensure full compliance with the standards contained herein and other applicable local ordinances and State and Federal laws.
B. Applicability. Submission of a site plan shall be required in conjunction with any of the following:
1. Any use or development for which submission of a site plan is required by provisions of this Ordinance.
2. An application for a building permit, except for a detached single-family house and/or buildings or uses accessory thereto.
3. Any addition to an existing principal or accessory building wherein the proposed addition constitutes an increase of ten percent (10%) or more as compared to the existing building or use.

If the Building Department determines that a site plan is required, an applicant may request that this determination be referred to the Planning Commission for their review. The Planning Commission may consider a request for an administrative review and determine that an administrative review in accordance with Section 30.01D is acceptable and that it meets the criteria for minor modifications as identified in Section 30.01D.
* * *
D. Administrative Review for Site Plans Involving Minor Modifications. Administrative review, may be required instead of Planning Commission review for site plans that involve minor modifications.

1. Minor Modifications. For the purpose of this section, minor modifications shall include proposed alterations to a building or site that do not substantially affect the character or intensity of the use, vehicular or pedestrian traffic circulation, drainage patterns, the demand for public services, or the vulnerability to hazards. The following uses or site modifications listed in Table 30.01D may be considered for Administrative Review:
TABLE 30.01D
PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW
? Changes to building height that do not add an additional floor.
? Minor additions or alterations to the landscape plan or landscape materials.

? Outdoor sales or outdoor displays less than 1,000 sq. ft.
? Alterations that would result in a decrease of total floor area.
The Building Official shall determine if the proposed modifications on a site plan are minor in accordance with these guidelines. If the modifications are not deemed minor by the Building Official, then review and approval by the Planning Commission shall be required. Planning Commission review shall be required for all site plans that involve a request for a variance, a special land use request, or a proposal that involves a discretionary decision.
2. Application Requirements and Procedures. The application requirements and procedures for administrative review of site plans shall be the same as for Planning Commission review, as outlined in this section. However, the Building Department may waive selected information requirements contained in this section depending upon the scope of the project and type of site improvements. For smaller scale projects and minor expansions or changes in use, less detailed information may be submitted than a full site plan. The level of information is intended to be proportionate to the extent of the change, yet insure adequate review for compliance with applicable standards.
* * *
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
All other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance

ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 151
PHRAGMITES CONTROL
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, August 3, 2015, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance to address phragmites infestations on all properties within the Township.
The CHARTER Township of ORION OrdainS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Article 1 ? Title
This Ordinance shall be known as the Charter Township of Orion Phragmites Ordinance.
Article 2 ? Purpose of Ordinance
Phragmites is an invasive species, commonly known as Phragmites australis, whose spread is not halted by traditional legal boundaries between parcels. If left unchecked, Phragmites stands can become very large and dense, creating a serious fire hazard, encroaching on waterways, making beaches inaccessible, and reducing visual quality for the community which can lead to a decline in property values. Although Phragmites seeds can cause a small amount of spread, most reproduction is accomplished through runners growing within the ground. A single stand of Phragmites can spread 30-50 feet per year through these rhizomes. In addition, the spread of Phragmites can drive out native plant species and destroy native wildlife habitat beneficial for birds and amphibians.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide procedures to address Phragmites infestations on all properties within the Township.
The Township may also rely on other Township Ordinances for the control of Phragmites. These ordinances include the following:
? Ordinance 78: Zoning Ordinance
? Ordinance 107: Wetlands Protection
? Ordinance 139: Stormwater Management & Soil Erosion & Sedimentation
Article 3 ? Definitions
As used in this Ordinance:
‘Property Owner? means a piece of property owned by an individual, firm, corporation, association, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity.
‘Phragmites? or ‘Phragmites Plant? means the invasive plant species with the scientific name Phragmites australis, also known as the common reed, which is a large perennial grass native to wetland sites throughout temperate regions of the world.
‘Phragmites Infestation? means the presence of one or more seed heads in a Phragmites plant.
‘Phragmites Treatment? means the application of necessary herbicide chemicals by a certified supplier authorized under a permit issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (‘MDEQ?).
‘Township Board? means the Charter Township of Orion Township Board.
‘Treatment? means any and all effective methods of eradicating and/or preventing the spread of Phragmites, including but not limited to the application of chemical herbicides.
Article 4 ? Process for Phragmites Treatment and Removal
On an annual basis or as otherwise requested by the Township Board, an ad hoc committee of volunteers appointed by the Township Board, will undertake a mapping of properties within the Township for the purpose of identifying all parcels on which a Phragmites infestation is present. Properties included in the mapping process will not be limited by type of ownership. When necessary, a report will be submitted to the Township’s Director of Operations.
1. At the recommendation of the ad hoc committee and at the discretion of the Township’s Director of Operations, a description of the properties identified as having a Phragmites infestation may be brought before the Township Board to approve notice being sent to each property owner.
2. If the Township Board approves for notices to be sent out to property owners, the Director of Operations will ensure that the notices are sent in a timely manner. The notice may include educational information regarding a Phragmites infestation, as well as information regarding the voluntary Phragmites treatment process under the Township’s Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s (‘MDEQ?) required permit, with participation requiring that a state certified contractor be engaged to perform the work. The notice will also include a due date for a property owner to elect to voluntarily participate in Phragmites treatment.
3. Any fees for Phragmites treatment conducted under the Township’s permit shall be paid to the Charter Township of Orion, which will handle all supplier payments.
The Township shall maintain all treatment records required to be submitted to the MDEQ annually.
Article 5 ? Application to MDEQ for Phragmites Treatment Permit; Permit Fee
The Township’s Director of Operations or his designee may apply annually to the MDEQ for a permit authorizing Phragmites treatment on the parcels upon which a Phragmites infestation is discovered. Pursuant to the notice provisions provided above, any permit fee shall be paid for as determined by the Township Board.
Article 6 ? Property Conditions Where Treatment May be Mandated
The Director of Operations shall determine whether any properties have a Phragmites infestation that qualifies as a hazardous condition, which is defined as follows:
1. Hazardous fire conditions or the potential to create a hazardous fire condition due to the unchecked growth of Phragmites.
2. Conditions where the unchecked growth of Phragmites has blocked sight visibility at roadway, safty path or driveway intersections and impedes the safe movement of cars and/or pedestrians.
3. Ecological impacts associated loss of habitat, impaired water quality and or impacts which disrupt stormwater management and drainage.
Upon a determination that a property has Phragmites infestation that qualifies as a hazardous condition, the Director of Operations, may provide written notice to the property owner indicating that, due to a present hazardous condition, Phragmites treatment may be mandated at the property owner’s cost. This notice will also provide notice of a public hearing in front of the Orion Township Board of Trustees, with the time and date of the hearing, at which time the property owner may contest the treatment mandate. Notice shall be sent no less than fifteen (15) days before the hearing. The notice shall also describe methods of treating Phragmites.
Following the public hearing, the Orion Township Board of Trustees shall determine whether the condition of the property qualifies as a hazardous condition mandating treatment. The Township Board shall provide notice of its determination. If the Township Board determines that treatment must be mandated, the property owner shall either contact the Director of Operations to schedule treatment or contact the MDEQ to obtain an individual permit required to treat Phragmites. Failure to do so within the time specified by the Township Board, may result in the Township performing Phragmites treatment and assessing the treatment costs to the property owner.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of five (5) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Tuesday, January 19, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction over any dispute involving the special assessment. If approved by the Township Board, the hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance or protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

AND DELETING ARTICLES

ZONING CONSOLIDATION
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, February 1, 2016, to be held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, proposes to adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Articles II, III, IX, XI, XIV, XVI, XVII, XVIII & XXVII; and deleting Articles X, XII, XIII, XV & XVII, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
(A summary of the provisions of the ordinance follows.)
The Charter Township of Orion currently has a total of 26 zoning districts which helps regulate the appropriate location of residential and non-residential land uses. Many of these zoning districts have evolved over time and have become overly complex. Recent planning initiatives enacted by the Township are placing more emphasis on the scale, form, and intensity of the land use rather than specific uses. As a result, the Township has initiated a project to combine, or ‘consolidate? many of the commercial, office and industrial districts which will reduce the number of zoning districts from 26 down to 20. These consolidated zoning districts will eliminate redundancy within the Zoning Ordinance and cut down on the overall length of the document, making it more user-friendly. The figure below highlights the proposed consolidated districts:

In order to establish these proposed consolidated zoning districts, the current Zoning Ordinance (No. 78) is required to be modified to create combined regulations for the new districts.
Complete copies of the proposed Ordinance can be viewed on the Township’s website, www.oriontownship.org and also are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, where they may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Written comments may be submitted before the meeting to Penny S. Shults, Clerk, at the address listed above.

ZONING CONSOLIDATION
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, February 1, 2016, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Articles II, III, IX, XI, XIV, XVI, XVII, XVIII & XXVII; and deleting Articles X, XII, XIII, XV & XVII, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
(A summary of the provisions of the ordinance follows.)
The Charter Township of Orion currently has a total of 26 zoning districts which helps regulate the appropriate location of residential and non-residential land uses. Many of these zoning districts have evolved over time and have become overly complex. Recent planning initiatives enacted by the Township are placing more emphasis on the scale, form, and intensity of the land use rather than specific uses. As a result, the Township has initiated a project to combine, or ‘consolidate? many of the commercial, office and industrial districts which will reduce the number of zoning districts from 26 down to 20. These consolidated zoning districts will eliminate redundancy within the Zoning Ordinance and cut down on the overall length of the document, making it more user-friendly. The figure below highlights the proposed consolidated districts:

Complete copies of the Ordinance can be viewed on the Township’s website, www.oriontownship.org and also are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, where they may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Orion Township Voters in the Pontiac School District will also vote on the following proposals:
SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF PONTIAC:
I. OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL
This proposal is a renewal of millage previously authorized by the voters. It allows the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. The remaining 0.50 mill is only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the ‘Headlee? amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction.
Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property,
except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in School District of the City of Pontiac, Oakland County,
Michigan be renewed by 18.50 mills ($18.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 20 years, 2017 to 2036,
inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2017 is approximately $27,590,391 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2016 levy)?
II. MILLAGE PROPOSAL, BUILDING AND SITE SINKING FUND TAX LEVY
This millage proposal, if approved by the electors, will allow the School District of the City of Pontiac to levy a building and site sinking fund millage, the proceeds of which will be used to make infrastructure improvements and repairs to the School District’s facilities. Pursuant to State Law, the expenditure of the building and site sinking fund millage proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee salaries, maintenance or other operating expenses.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in School District of the City of
Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan, be increased by and the board of education be authorized to levy not to exceed 2.87
mills ($2.87 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2016 to 2020, inclusive, to create a sinking fund
for construction or repair of school buildings and all other purposes authorized by law and state agency interpretation; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2016 is approximately
$7,199,111.00?

ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 97-4
AMENDMENT TO ORD. NO. 97
SAFETY PATH REGULATION,
SAFETY PATHS AND SIDEWALKS
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, February 3, 2003, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 97, Safety Path Regulation, as previously amended, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, and Exhibit 1; adding Sections 8, 9, and 10; and renumbering Sections 8 to 11 as Sections 11 to 14, for the purpose of adding definitions and to provide further provisions with regard to the construction and maintenance of safety paths and sidewalks; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
The following sections of Ordinance 97, Safety Path Regulation, are amended, as follows. Sections or subsections not referenced are not changed.
Section 2. Purpose
The purpose of this Ordinance shall be:
1) In the consideration and enactment of the Ordinance from which this section derives, the Township Board finds that there are public safety paths which are part of the Township system intended for general public use during times when accumulations of snow and/or ice are not on the safety paths; and, that there are sidewalks that are not part of the Township’s system of safety paths as shown on the official safety path map, maintained by the Township. It is the intent of the Township Board to finance the maintenance and repair of safety paths from the Safety Path Fund, and to finance needed maintenance and repair of sidewalks by special assessment.

Section 3. Definitions
(A) The following words and phrases, when used in this ordinance, shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section:
Condition of Disrepair – Having any one or more of the following characteristics; provided, however, that the existence of any one or more of these characteristics shall not create a presumption or other indication that such characteristics were the cause of any injury or damage which may occur:
(1) Hole – Place where the surface is missing;
(2) Gap – Separation of material proportion on the surface of the safety path or sidewalk itself or between the safety path or sidewalk and the adjacent surface;
(3) Rise or Drop – Abrupt change in grade where one surface vertically separates from an adjacent surface;
(4) Tilt – Incline where the safety path or sidewalk surface has rotated and is no longer oriented in gradient or cross slope;
(5) Swell or Depression – Place where the surface undulates due to uplift or subsidence of underlying materials;
(6) Object or Debris – Obstruction that covers some or all of the surface of the safety path or sidewalk;
(7) Suspension – Object or material hanging over the surface of the sidewalk or safety path below a height of eight and one-half (8.5) feet.
Developer – An owner who is causing property to be developed, except for an owner who is constructing or causing to be constructed a single-family dwelling on a lot in a single-family residential district.
Existing Fixed Object ? An object that cannot be easily moved without the assistance of mechanical tools and/or without causing destruction to the property to which it is attached, including, but not limited to, buildings, driveways, utility poles, and fences.
Owner – A natural person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other legal entity or combination of them which may hold any ownership interest in land whether recorded or not.
Pathway – For purposes of this Ordinance only, the term “pathway” shall be synonymous with the term “safety path”.
Person – A natural person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other legal entity.
Road, Public ? A road accepted by dedication or otherwise by the Road Commission for Oakland County.
Safety Path – (See Sidewalk and Safety Path)
Sidewalk and Safety Path shall be synonymous in terms of their basic substantive meaning, being a constructed surface located in a public right-of-way, but separate from any improved portion of a roadway or highway, dedicated primarily for use by pedestrians and persons operating non-motorized vehicles. For purposes of regulation under this Ordinance only, sidewalks and safety paths shall be broken into two (2) sub-classifications, as follows:
(1) A safety path shall mean a certain type of sidewalk constructed for the benefit of the general public in the Township, as shown on the official safety path map maintained by the Township. The use of the term “safety path” itself does not mean, and shall not be construed or relied upon in any way as meaning, that such safety paths are inherently safe or in a safe condition. Instead, the reference to “safety” in the labeling of such paths is nothing other than a reference to the fact that such pathways are typically considered to be safer for pedestrians to use than the improved portions of road on which motor vehicles travel.
(2) Sidewalk shall mean and refer to all other constructed surfaces located in the public right-of-way dedicated primarily for pedestrian usage, not including those sidewalks being referenced above as “safety paths,” and constructed primarily as dedicated pedestrian paths within subdivisions or adjacent to street lots.
Street Lots – One or more lots which are not part of a formally created subdivision, but which are part of a neighborhood where a sidewalk has been constructed to serve the lots within such neighborhood.
Subdivision – The lots, units, and other areas which are part of a development platted under the Michigan Land Division Act (or predecessor Act) or created under the Condominium Act.
(B) Terms not expressly defined above shall have their customary dictionary meanings, taking into consideration the context and intent of this Ordinance.
Section 4. Safety Path Development
This plan shall guide all the development of a system of planned safety paths in the Township and shall be updated from time to time as an amendment to, or in conjunction with, the Master Plan.
Section 5. Safety Path Plan Implementation / Developer’s Responsibilities
A. All developers of property along either side of a public roadway shall construct a pathway when they develop their property, in accordance with the standards outlined in this Ordinance.
B. In lieu of constructing the pathway, and only with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and Safety Path Advisory Committee and approval of the Township Board, a developer may be allowed to pay to the Township a sum of money equivalent to the actual cost of construction of the path, including permit, engineering, and inspection fees. Except as otherwise provided below, the actual cost of construction, including fees, shall be determined by the Township Engineer, and shall be based on recent bids received by the Township for similar types of path construction. The Township Board, upon recommendation of the Safety Path Advisory Committee, may accept a lesser amount of money from a developer only in the situation where the developer’s respective section of safety path is either not included in the Safety Path Master Plan, or deemed to be not necessary by the Safety Path Advisory Committee and Planning Commission.
C. Unless the Township Board has allowed a developer to pay a sum of money to the Township in lieu of constructing a pathway under Subsection 5(B), construction of the safety path shall be completed for each phase (if applicable) prior to the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy for any building structure located on the parcel in which the safety path is to be located. The developer shall be responsible for securing all necessary permits, paying all necessary fees, and obtaining necessary inspections from Orion Township, the Road Commission for Oakland County, and/or the Michigan Department of Transportation.
In order to ensure completion of the path, the developer shall deposit cash, an irrevocable letter of credit, or other equivalent security approved by the Township Board in an escrow account, in the amount of the estimated cost of the safety path plus ten percent (10%) to guarantee the completion of such path. The cost estimate shall be approved by the Township Engineer. The escrow amount to be posted by the developer under this subsection shall be in addition to the performance bond required under Subsection 5(E), unless covered by the site performance guarantee per Article XXX, Section 30.11 of Ordinance 78. The escrow amount shall be returned to the developer upon completion of the safety pathway and approval by the Township Engineer and Building Official.
D. Anyone constructing a safety path in Orion Township shall first obtain a permit from the Township, using forms provided by the Township Building Department. A Township review escrow shall be established in accordance with the Schedule of Fees & Escrow Charges, for applicable portions of site plan review, and shall be deposited with the Township along with plan submittal. The permit fee shall be one-half of one (.5%) percent of the construction cost, as agreed upon by the Township Engineer and the developer, but not fewer than One Hundred ($100) Dollars. Also Five Hundred ($500) Dollars shall be placed in escrow, per 1,000 feet of pathway ($500 minimum), toward the anticipated cost of three inspections. Any unused portion of such escrows shall be returned to the developer.
E. In addition to the above construction, permit, and inspection fees, the developer shall place, with the Township, a cash performance bond in the amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the estimated cost of the safety path construction, as agreed upon by the Township Engineer and the developer, to be placed in the Township’s Safety Path Maintenance Fund and to be held for one (1) year following the final inspection of such path by the Township Engineer. At the expiration of the one (1) year period, the bond will be reimbursed to the developer, provided that no damage has been done to the safety path by construction activities and that the path is in essentially the same condition as it was at the time of final inspection by the Township Engineer.
Section 6. Safety Path Construction Standards
Safety paths shall be constructed according to the following standards and specifications:
A. All construction shall comply with the requirements of the Road Commission for Oakland County where it is feasible and practicable. (See Exhibit 1)
Specifically:
B. All safety paths shall be eight (8) feet in width, and shall be built in accordance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines, subject to Subparagraph E, below.
C. Safety paths shall be at least three (3) inches thick and made of asphalt over a four (4) inch aggregate base of 21AA or as approved by the Township Engineer. Existing subgrade must be compacted and treated with soil sterilant.
D. [unchanged]
E. Where unique and peculiar circumstances are present, such as extreme topography, dense mature trees and/or wetlands, and/or existing fixed objects, the Planning Commission, as a part of the site plan review process, shall be authorized to vary the location and/or specifications of safety path construction so as to minimize or avoid a safety hazard and/or adverse impact upon natural features. Moreover, during the course of construction, the Township Supervisor may authorize the Township Engineer to work with the developer in the field and permit minor deviations, in the interest of safety and natural feature preservation, and provide for orderly development of a coordinated network of safety paths. Any and all required approvals from other governmental agencies shall be obtained by the developer with respect to all variances permitted by the Township.
F. Safety paths shall be constructed within the road right-of-way, one (1) foot off the property line, and three (3) feet from any existing fixed object.
Section 7. Safety Path Maintenance
A. [unchanged]
B. The developer of real property across which a safety path traverses shall be responsible for the following maintenance:
1. Repair of surface cracks, upheaval, or deterioration.
2. Any damage caused by the elements or any person during the duration of the one (1) year period.
C. [unchanged]
D. [unchanged]
E. Any person who negligently, intentionally, or maliciously causes damage to the safety path shall be responsible for either one of the following:
1. repair and/or replacement of the affected portion of the safety path, or
2. the cost of repair to the safety path.
Should the responsible person choose to repair and/or replace the safety path, said repair shall be made to the standards in Section 6, within ninety (90) days, weather conditions permitting, following issuance of a Township construction permit.
If the responsible person opts to pay the cost of repair, notice of the actual cost of such repair shall be sent to the responsible person by the Township Clerk, with a demand for payment. If said person fails to pay such costs within thirty (30) days after notice, the Township Board may authorize civil action to collect such costs.
Upon repair and/or replacement of the damaged safety path, the responsible person shall maintain the applicable section of safety path for a period of one (1) year. This requirement may be waived in situations where a minor section of the safety path has been repaired and/or replaced upon petition to the Township Board, based on the recommendation of the Safety Path Advisory Committee.
F. [unchanged]
G. Removal of Animal Excrement Required.
It shall be unlawful for any owner of a dog or cat to allow or permit such dog or cat to soil, defile, defecate, or to commit any nuisance on a public thoroughfare, sidewalk, passageway, bypass, play area, park or any place where people congregate or walk, or upon public property whatsoever, or upon any private property without permission of the owner of such property unless:
1. Such owner shall immediately remove all droppings deposited by such dog or cat by any sanitary method, and for such purposes shall possess a container of sufficient size to collect and remove the above mentioned droppings and exhibit the container, if requested by any official empowered to enforce this Ordinance; and
2. Such owner shall deposit said droppings or container of droppings in a toilet or a receptacle ordinarily used for garbage and covered by a lid or in an otherwise lawful and sanitary manner.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
The following sections shall be added as new sections to Ordinance 97, Safety Path Regulation:
Section 8. Sidewalk Maintenance
A. The Township Board, pursuant to MCL 41.288a, may order the maintenance or repair of sidewalks in the Township because of health, safety, or general welfare of the residents of the Township.
B. The following regulations shall apply to sidewalks in the Township:
1. If the Township Board tentatively determines that maintenance or repair of sidewalks within a subdivision and/or adjacent to one or more street lots may be necessary due to being in a condition of disrepair, or due to one or more other identified reasons:
a. The Township shall obtain the approval of the Michigan Department of Transportation or of the Road Commission for Oakland County with regard to undertaking the maintenance and/or repair of sidewalks in a right-of-way within their respective jurisdiction.
b. A plan and cost estimate for maintenance and repair shall be prepared, along with an assessment roll based upon such cost estimate, allocating the cost of the project, including the cost of inspection, engineering, legal, finance and administration, to the properties involved (e.g., the properties within the subdivision), and a notice of a public hearing shall be sent to owners of such lots, units and parcels. The notice shall include a basic description of the project, the cost estimate, and the tentative assessment amount, and shall be sent by first class mail to the last known address of the owner of the properties based upon the current tax assessment records in the Township.
2. Following the public hearing, if the Township Board determines that the maintenance and/or repair of certain sidewalks is necessary due to being in a condition of disrepair, or due to one or more other identified reasons, the Board may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment roll and determining to contract for such maintenance and/or repair, and assess the costs to the properties involved in proportion to the respective benefits received, payable in five (5) annual installments, with interest; provided, however, prior to entering into such contract, the Township Board may, if requested in writing by persons representing a number of properties within the area to be assessed deemed sufficient by the Township Board, provide an opportunity within a reasonable time set by the Township or the respective property owners involved to have the sidewalks maintained and/or repaired at their own expense, according to specifications directed by the Township.
3. A notice of assessment shall be sent to each property involved following entry into a contract for the maintenance and/or repair. If the amount of the contract is more or less than the cost estimate, the amount of the assessment upon each property shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, if the cost difference is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the estimate, the contract shall not be entered into, and the assessment shall not be finalized unless and until a new public hearing is noticed and held by the Township Board in the manner provided above.
C. Assessments established under this Ordinance shall constitute a lien upon the property assessed and shall be collected, and delinquent assessment payments shall accrue interest and penalties, as provided for in Public Act No. 188 of 1954, as amended.
Section 9. Private Maintenance and/or Repair of Sidewalks
A. If an area of sidewalk is in a condition of disrepair resulting from the actions of one or more private property owners, such owner or owners shall repair such area of sidewalk. For purposes of this section, “actions” shall include, but shall not be limited to: surface drainage; on-site construction; vehicular traffic; and other site activities and actions resulting in a condition of disrepair. All repairs shall be made within ninety (90) days, weather permitting, following issuance of a Township construction permit, and in accordance with the standards in Section 6. The following sections shall also apply if a responsible person opts to repair and/or replace a damaged section of safety path under Section 7(E).
B. If damage or injury is caused as a result of a failure to promptly repair a condition of disrepair, as stated in Subsection A of this section, above, and if the Township had previously provided notice of the condition of disrepair and allowed an opportunity for hearing before the Township Board, or the Board’s designee, the owners to whom such notice was sent shall be liable to the Township for any damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Township, including reasonable attorney fees expended by the Township.
C. In addition to the above, the Township Board, pursuant to MCL 41.288a, may order the repair of such sidewalk or safety paths by the persons whose actions resulted in a condition of disrepair; and, if such repair is not made within the time stated in the order of the Township Board, and the sidewalk or safety path is within reasonable proximity of the property owned by the breaching party, the Township may proceed with the repairs and recover all costs and expenses incurred by the Township, plus a reasonable administrative fee, by assessing the property of the owner or owners who failed to make the repairs required under this section. Such assessments shall be made in accordance with the procedure specified, above, in this section. If the party failing to make the required repair does not own the property within reasonable proximity of the sidewalk or safety path to be repaired, the Township may seek recovery of all costs and expenses, including reasonable administrative costs and attorney fees, by any lawful means.
D. As a condition to any recovery for injuries sustained by reasons of any defective sidewalk or safety path, the injured person shall serve notice upon the Township within the time and in the manner prescribed by law (MCL 691.1404).
Section 10. Prohibition of Obstruction of Sidewalks and Safety Paths
A. No person shall obstruct, or cause or permit the obstruction of any sidewalk or safety path in the Township by the placement on such sidewalk or safety path of any object, debris or material of any kind or nature, or by suspending any sign, object or material within eight and one-half (8.5) feet above a sidewalk or safety path. This provision is not intended to create an obligation to modify natural accumulations of snow or ice.
B. Subsection A shall not apply in circumstances in which a person is temporarily loading or unloading a vehicle adjacent to the property, if such person has, if reasonably required, secured a device reasonably calculated to warn users of the sidewalk or safety path of the obstruction so as to avoid injury and/or damage.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
The following sections of Ordinance 97, Safety Path Regulation, shall be modified and renumbered, as follows:
Section 11. Safety Path Signage
The Safety Path Advisory Committee may develop in conjunction with the Safety Path Plan, a plan for signage along each section of pathway as it is proposed for construction. The Committee may require signs under the following circumstances and for the following reasons:
The standards for signs, including, but not limited to, sign size, material, location in relation to the pathway as well as the roadway, height, and method of installation, shall be in accordance with established Road Commission for Oakland County sign standards. (See Exhibit 1)

2. The lien is effective immediately upon recording of the court order with the Register of Deeds.
3. The court order recorded with the Register of Deeds shall constitute the pendency of the lien. In addition, a written notice of the lien shall be sent by Orion Township by first class mail to the owner of record of the land, building, or structure at the owner’s last known address.
4. The lien may be enforced and discharged by Orion Township in the manner prescribed by its Charter, by the General Property Tax Act, Act No. 206 of the Public Acts of 1893, being Sections 211.1, et seq., of the Michigan Compiled Laws, or by an ordinance duly passed by the Township.

F. Temporary Use Permits.
1. Initial Application: Temporary use permits for a period of time not to exceed three (3) months, may be issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that such use will not cause undue harm or unreasonable disturbance to adjacent property owners or nearby residents. Temporary use permits may be issued for facilities that are seasonal in nature, such as Christmas tree sales and roadside vegetable stands or for temporary activities similar to those outlined in section 27.02(B) 27.02(C) of this Ordinance. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the authority to specify conditions, including duration of use and hours of operation, in order to ensure compliance with this Ordinance. Property owners and residents within three hundred (300) feet of the zoning lot on which the proposed temporary use is to be located shall be notified at least five (5) days in advance of the meeting at which the application for the temporary use permit will be considered. Additionally, the following conditions shall apply to each application:
a. The temporary use shall not occupy any essential parking spaces or maneuvering lanes associated with an on-site permanent use.
b. To ensure the continued safety of the customers, when located adjacent to a vehicular traffic area, the temporary sales area shall be fenced or provided with appropriate barriers to ensure pedestrian safety and pedestrian passageway.

d. Dedicated parking areas shall be provided which do not extend over sidewalks or safety paths.
e. All products shall be compatible with the permitted uses of the respective zoning district within which the site is located.

f. Flammable products shall be located far enough from the permanent structures to prevent a fire hazard.
g. Due to traffic safety concerns, no temporary sales shall be permitted at gasoline service stations.
h. All signage shall comply with the requirements of the Charter Township of Orion Sign Regulations (Ord. No. 77). As a condition of approval, the ZBA may impose more restrictive sign regulations than those sign regulations specified in Ordinance 77, where traffic safety or impacts to neighboring properties are a concern.
i. The Zoning Board of Appeals may deny a temporary use permit if the requested temporary use is located within one thousand (1,000) yards of similar temporary or permanent use.
2. Renewal Application: Once a temporary use permit has been granted, the use may be reinstated only if the permit is renewed annually; subject to the following conditions, and verification that the above noted requirements are still being satisfied:
a. Only one (1) application for renewal of a temporary use permit may be made in any one (1) calendar year. Renewals shall not be granted if the application is requested by a different individual, entity or corporation for the same parcel.
b. An application for renewal of a temporary use permit issued for the same use, location, time period, and hours of operation shall require only a written request submitted on the applicant’s letterhead to the Building Department, setting forth the requested conditions for the current year, providing the original application was deemed to be complete.
c. An application for renewal of a temporary use permit that seeks to change the use or the location of the use or increase the duration of the time period and/or the hours of operation from the initial application shall require renotification of property owners and residents as set forth in Section 30.06 (F) (1) of this Ordinance.
d. A temporary use permit shall not be renewed if an administrative renewal of a temporary use permit has not been applied for within fourteen (14) months of the date approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
e. A record of temporary use permits granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be maintained by the Building Department. Each file shall include at least the following: the original application, the terms of approval of the initial application, the terms of approval for all subsequent renewals of the original application, and any written complaints received by the Township regarding the use.
f. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall review the file for the temporary use prior to a decision on renewal of a permit, unless otherwise administratively approved by the Building Department in accordance with this Section.
g. The temporary use permit shall not be transferable to another individual, entity or corporation.
h. The owner of the property on which the temporary use is requested shall jointly sign the application for temporary use or shall provide written permission for use of the property as a temporary use.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
All ordinances or portions of an ordinance in conflict with or inconsistent with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
Nothing in this ordinance amendment shall restrict or nullify an enforcement action relative to any act or offense committed or done before the effective data of this Ordinance, and any enforcement action or prosecution is hereby waived.

CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 78-170 AMENDMENT TO ORD. 78, ZONING ORDINANCE
ARTICLE XXX, SECTIONS 30.06(F)
TEMPORARY USES
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, July 7, 2003, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XXX, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Section 30.06(F); providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Township Planning and Zoning Act as amended, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, ARTICLE XXX, Section 30.06(F) is amended by placing the hereinafter described language in the Article as follows:
Section 30.06 ? Permits to Construct, Move, Alter or Change Use
F. Temporary Use Permits.
1. Initial Application: Temporary use permits for a period of time not to exceed three (3) months, may be issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that such use will not cause undue harm or unreasonable disturbance to adjacent property owners or nearby residents. Temporary use permits may be issued for facilities that are seasonal in nature, such as Christmas tree sales and roadside vegetable stands or for temporary activities similar to those outlined in Section 27.02(B) 27.02(C) of this Ordinance. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the authority to specify conditions, including duration of use and hours of operation, in order to ensure compliance with this Ordinance. Property owners and residents within three hundred (300) feet of the zoning lot on which the proposed temporary use is to be located shall be notified at least five (5) days in advance of the meeting at which the application for the temporary use permit will be considered. Additionally, the following conditions shall apply to each application:
a. The temporary use shall not occupy any essential parking spaces or maneuvering lanes associated with an on-site permanent use.
b. To ensure the continued safety of the customers, when located adjacent to a vehicular traffic area, the temporary sales area shall be fenced or provided with appropriate barriers to ensure pedestrian safety and pedestrian passageway.
c. Access shall be provided via a paved driveway.
d. Dedicated parking areas shall be provided which do not extend over sidewalks or safety paths.
e. All products shall be compatible with the permitted uses of the respective zoning district within which the site is located. The Zoning Board of Appeals may deny an application for Temporary Use if it is found that the proposed use is not consistent with the intent of the Zoning District in which the property is located or is incompatible with the permitted uses allowed within the Zoning Ordinance.
f. Flammable products shall be located far enough from the permanent structures to prevent a fire hazard.
g. Due to traffic safety concerns, no temporary sales shall be permitted at gasoline service stations.
h. All signage shall comply with the requirements of the Charter Township of Orion Sign Regulations (Ord. No. 77). As a condition of approval, the ZBA may impose more restrictive sign regulations than those sign regulations specified in Ordinance 77, where traffic safety or impacts to neighboring properties are a concern.
i.The Zoning Board of Appeals may deny a temporary use permit if the requested temporary use is located within one thousand (1,000) yards of similar temporary or permanent use.
2. Renewal Application: Once a temporary use permit has been granted, the use may be reinstated only if the permit is renewed annually; subject to the following conditions, and verification that the above noted requirements are still being satisfied:
a. Only one (1) application for renewal of a temporary use permit may be made in any one (1) calendar year. Renewals shall not be granted if the application is requested by a different individual, entity or corporation for the same parcel.
b. An application for renewal of a temporary use permit issued for the same use, location, time period, and hours of operation shall require only a written request submitted on the applicant’s letterhead to the Building Department, setting forth the requested conditions for the current year, providing the original application was deemed to be complete.
c. An application for renewal of a temporary use permit that seeks to change the use or the location of the use or increase the duration of the time period and/or the hours of operation from the initial application shall require renotification of property owners and residents as set forth in Section 30.06 (F) (1) of this Ordinance.
d. A temporary use permit shall not be renewed if an administrative renewal of a temporary use permit has not been applied for within fourteen (14) months of the date approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
e. A record of temporary use permits granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be maintained by the Building Department. Each file shall include at least the following: the original application, the terms of approval of the initial application, the terms of approval for all subsequent renewals of the original application, and any written complaints received by the Township regarding the use.
f. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall review the file for the temporary use prior to a decision on renewal of a permit, unless otherwise administratively approved by the Building Department in accordance with this Section.
g. The temporary use permit shall not be transferable to another individual, entity or corporation.
h. The owner of the property on which the temporary use is requested shall jointly sign the application for temporary use or shall provide written permission for use of the property as a temporary use.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
All ordinances or portions of an ordinance in conflict with or inconsistent with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
Nothing in this ordinance amendment shall restrict or nullify an enforcement action relative to any act or offense committed or done before the effective data of this Ordinance, and any enforcement action or prosecution is hereby waived.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
The various parts, sections and clauses of this Ordinance are declared to be severable. If any part, sentence, paragraph, section or clause is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Ordinance shall not be affected.
SECTION 5 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township of Orion, and shall become effective upon publication, as provided by law.
Copies of the Ordinance are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, and may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of ten (10) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, August 18, 2003 at 8:00 p.m., to hear and consider any objections to the assessments and to said Special Assessment Roll.
6. If the Township Board confirms the roll, a special assessment shall be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Township Planning and Zoning Act as amended, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXX, Section 30.13 is amended by placing the hereinafter described language in the Article as follows:
Section 30.13 – Planned Unit Development (PUD)
A. Intent. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) may be applied for in any zoning district. The granting of a PUD application shall require a rezoning by way of amendment to this Ordinance upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approval of the Township Board. The procedure for rezoning is that which is authorized by the Township Zoning Act (Public Act 184 of 1943, as amended), as contained in Section 11.
It is the intent of this section to authorize the use of Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations as an alternative to traditional subdivisions or other developments and for the purpose of: encouraging the use of land in accordance with its character and adaptability; conserving natural resources, natural features and energy; encouraging innovation and greater flexibility in land use planning and design; providing enhanced housing, employment, shopping, traffic circulation, and recreational opportunities for the people of this Township; encouraging a less sprawling form of development; and ensuring compatibility of design and use between neighboring properties. The PUD is designed to give the Township and developer more flexibility than would be allowed under the existing zoning, encouraging development of the property according to its unique characteristics.
The provisions of this section are not intended as a device for ignoring the Zoning Ordinance and specific standards set forth therein, or the planning upon which it has been based. To that end, provisions of this section are intended to result in land use development substantially consistent with the existing zoning and existing Charter Township of Orion Master Plan, with modifications and departures from generally applicable requirements made in accordance with standards provided in this section to ensure appropriate, fair, and consistent decision-making. Requirements stated in this section are development guidelines that planning officials will use to determine the merits of a particular application. The Planning Commission may recommend variations from these guidelines when an applicant has demonstrated that doing so will result in a corresponding benefit to the community.

The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 1 ? Short Title
This Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the Charter Township of Orion ‘Sign Ordinance,? and it shall be deemed sufficient, in any action for enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, to refer to this Ordinance by this short title or by reference to the number hereof.
Section 2 ? Intent and Purpose
Pursuant to the authority granted to the Charter Township of Orion by the Township Zoning Act, PA 184 of 1943, the Township hereby enacts the following regulations for the erection and maintenance of temporary and permanent signs in Orion Township.
The intent of this Ordinance is to regulate the location, size, construction, and manner of display of signs and outdoor advertising in order to minimize their harmful effects on the public health, safety and welfare. While this Ordinance recognizes that signs and outdoor advertising are necessary to promote commerce and public information, failure to regulate them may lead to poor identification of individual businesses, deterioration and blight of the business and residential areas of the Township, conflicts between different types of land use, and reduction in traffic safety to pedestrians and motorists.
To achieve its intended purpose, this Ordinance has the following objectives:
A. To prevent the placement of signs in a manner that will conceal or obscure other signs or adjacent businesses;
B. To keep the number of signs and messages at the level reasonably necessary to identify a business and its products;
C. To keep signs within a reasonable scale with respect to the buildings they identify;
D. To reduce visual distraction and obstructions to motorists traveling along, entering or leaving streets;
E. To promote a quality manner of display which enhances the character of the Township; and
F. To prevent the proliferation of temporary signs which might promote visual blight.

However, where such a sign has more than one face, the area of all faces shall be included in determining the area of the sign, except that where two such faces are placed back-to-back as a mirror image in size and shape and are at no point more than two feet from one another, the area of the sign shall be taken as the area of one face if the two faces are of equal area, or the area of the larger face if the two faces are of unequal area.

LANDSCAPING, FENCES & WALLS
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, September 17, 2007, to be held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, proposes to adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XVII, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Section 27.05; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 27.05 – Landscaping, Fences, and Walls
A. Landscaping.
1. Intent. Landscaping, greenbelts, and screening are necessary for the protection and enhancement of the environment and for the continued vitality of all land uses in the Township. Landscaping and greenbelts are capable of enhancing the visual environment, preserving natural features, improving property values, and alleviating the impact of noise, traffic, and visual disruption related to intensive uses. Screening is important to protect less-intensive uses from the noise, light, traffic, litter, and other impacts of intensive non-residential uses. The purpose of this section is to set minimum standards for the protection and enhancement of the environment through requirements for the design and use of landscaping, greenbelts, and screening.
2. Scope of Application. The requirements set forth in this section shall apply to all uses, lots, sites, and parcels which are developed or expanded following the effective date of this Ordinance. No site plan shall be approved unless said site plan shows landscaping consistent with the provisions of this section. Furthermore, where landscaping is required, a building permit shall not be issued until the required landscape plan is submitted and approved, and a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued unless provisions set forth in this section have been met or a performance bond has been posted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 30.11.
In cases where the use of an existing building changes or an existing building is changed or otherwise altered, all of the standards set forth herein shall be met.
The requirements of this section are minimum requirements, and nothing herein shall preclude a developer and the Township from agreeing to more extensive landscaping.
3. Landscaping Design Standards. Except as otherwise specified in the general requirements for each zoning district, all landscaping shall conform to the following standards:
a. General Landscaping. All developed portions of the site shall conform to the following general landscaping standards, except where specific landscape elements, such as a greenbelt, berms, or screening are required:
i. All portions of the landscaped area shall be planted with grass, ground cover, shrubbery, or other suitable plant material, except that paved patios, terraces, sidewalks, and similar site features may be incorporated, with Planning Commission approval.
ii. A mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees shall be planted at the rate of one (1) tree for each three thousand (3,000) square feet, or portion thereof, of landscaped open-space area.
iii. Required trees and shrubs may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
iv. All landscaped areas shall have an underground irrigation system or shall be provided with a readily available and acceptable water supply with at least one (1) hose bib within one hundred (100) feet of all planted material to be maintained. In consideration of the overall design and impact of the landscape plan, the Planning Commission may reduce or waive the requirements outlined herein for General Landscaping, or for landscaping in greenbelt areas, on berms, or as part of a screen, provided that any such adjustment is in keeping with the intent of the Ordinance, and more specifically, with the intent of Section 27.05.
v. The total landscaped area shall be the basis for determining the required number of trees or shrubs, irrespective of the portion which is devoted to patios, terraces, sidewalks, or other site features.
vi. In consideration of the overall design and impact of the landscape plan, the Planning Commission may reduce or waive the requirements outlined herein for General Landscaping, or for landscaping in greenbelt areas, on berms, or as part of a screen, provided that any such adjustment is in keeping with the intent of the Ordinance, and more specifically, with the intent of Section 27.05.
b. Greenbelt Buffer. Where required, landscaped greenbelt and greenbelt buffers shall conform to the following standards:
i. A required greenbelt or greenbelt buffer may be interrupted only to provide for roads or driveways for vehicular access.
ii. Grass, ground cover, or other suitable live plant material shall be planted over the entire greenbelt area, except that paving may be used in areas of intensive pedestrian circulation.
iii. A minimum of one (1) deciduous tree or evergreen tree shall be planted for each thirty (30) lineal feet, or portion thereof, of required greenbelt length. Required trees may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
iv. For the purpose of determining required plant material, required greenbelt area length shall be measured along the exterior periphery of the greenbelt area.
c. Berms. Where required, earth berms or landscaped berms shall conform to the following standards:
i. The berm shall be at least three (3) feet above the grade elevation, and shall be constructed with slopes no steeper than one (1) foot vertical for each four (4) feet horizontal, with at least a two (2) foot flat area on the top. For the purposes of this provision, grade elevation shall be the ground elevation at the property line adjacent to the proposed berm.
ii. The berm area shall be planted with grass or other suitable ground cover to ensure that it withstands wind and weather and retains its height and shape.
iii. A minimum of one (1) deciduous or evergreen tree shall be planted for each thirty (30) lineal feet or portion thereof of required berm.
iv. Eight (8) shrubs per tree may be planted as substitute for trees required in Item ‘iii? above.
v. Required trees and shrubs may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
vi. For the purpose of determining required plant material, required berm length shall be measured along the exterior periphery of the berm.
d. Parking Lot Landscaping. Off-street parking areas shall be landscaped as follows:
i. In off-street parking areas containing greater than twenty (20) spaces, at least five percent (5%) of the total parking area shall be used for interior landscaping. Whenever possible, parking lot landscaping shall be arranged to improve the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, guide traffic movement, and improve the appearance of the parking area.
ii. Parking lot landscaping shall be no less than five (5) feet in any single dimension and no less than one hundred fifty (150) square feet in any single area and shall be protected from parking areas with curbing, or other permanent means to prevent vehicular encroachment onto the landscaped areas.
iii. The landscape plan shall designate the sizes, quantities, and types of plant material to be used in parking lot landscaping.
iv. Required landscaping elsewhere on the parcel shall not be counted in meeting the parking lot landscaping requirements.
v. A minimum of one (1) deciduous tree shall be planted in each landscaped area.
vi. The Planning Commission may, at their discretion, waive or modify the requirement for interior landscaping in cases where the parking lot consists of only one (1) aisle and the area surrounding the parking lot is heavily landscaped or where existing off-street parking drives and/or structures are located on the parcel.
e. Evergreen Screening. Where required, evergreen screening shall consist of closely spaced plantings which form a complete visual barrier that is at least six (6) feet above ground level within five (5) years of planting.
f. Landscaping of Right-of-Way and Other Adjacent Public Open Space Areas. Public rights-of-way and other public open-space areas adjacent to required landscaped areas and greenbelts shall be planted with grass or other suitable ground cover and maintained by the owner of the adjacent property as if they were part of required landscaped areas and greenbelts.
4. Parking Lot Landscaping Adjacent to Roads Excluding Single Family Residential Uses. A greenbelt separation area is required between the right-of-way property line and the nearest portion of any off-street parking area, for parcels fronting roads but excluding single family residential uses. Said area shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet in width and minimally landscaped as follows and as illustrated the following figure:
a. One (1) tree for each thirty (30) lineal feet, or fraction thereof, of required greenbelt separation area (including driveways). Such trees shall be located between the abutting right-of-way and the off-street parking area or vehicular use area.
b. In addition, a hedge, wall, decorative metal fence, or berm, or other landscape elements with a vertical rise of at least thirty (30) inches shall be developed within said separation zone. The hedge, wall, fence, or berm shall have the effect of reducing the visual effect of parked cars. If the developer decides to construct a masonry wall or decorative fence, he/she shall in addition plant one (1) shrub or vine for each ten (10) lineal feet of masonry wall on the street side of the wall.
c. The remainder of the required landscape separation area shall be landscaped with grass, ground cover or other landscape treatment, excluding paving such as concrete or asphalt. This shall not be construed to prohibit decorative brick paving.

d. The Planning Commission may at their discretion wave or modify the requirements of this section subject to one or more of the following conditions: limited parcel depth, existing vegetation or other site factors which limit the practical application of landscaping standards.
e. Landscaping of Right-of-Way and Other Adjacent Public Open Space Areas. Public rights-of-way and other public open-space areas adjacent to required landscaped areas and greenbelts shall be planted with grass or other suitable ground cover and maintained by the owner of the adjacent property as if they were part of required landscaped areas and greenbelts.
f.g. Regulations Pertaining to Landscaping Areas Used for Sight Distance. When a driveway intersects a public right-of-way or when the subject property abuts the intersection of public rights-of-way or intersection of interior driveways, all landscaping within the corner triangular areas described below shall permit unobstructed cross-visibility. Shrubs located in the triangular area shall not be permitted to grow to a height of more than thirty (30) inches above the pavement grade at the edge of the pavement. Portions of required berms located within sight distance triangular areas shall not exceed a height of thirty (30) inches above the pavement grade at the edge of the pavement. Trees may be maintained in this area provided that all branches are trimmed to maintain a clear vision for a vertical height of eight (8) feet above the roadway surface. Landscaping, except grass or ground cover, shall not be located closer than three (3) feet from the edge of a driveway.

The granting of a PUD application shall require a rezoning by way of amendment to this Ordinance upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approval of the Township Board. The procedure for rezoning is that which is authorized by the Zoning Enabling Act (Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended), as contained in Section 503.
It is the intent of this section to authorize the use of Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations as an alternative to traditional subdivisions or other developments and for the purpose of: encouraging the use of land in accordance with its character and adaptability; conserving natural resources, natural features and energy; encouraging innovation and greater flexibility in land use planning and design; providing enhanced housing, employment, shopping, traffic circulation, and recreational opportunities for the people of this Township; encouraging a less sprawling form of development; and ensuring compatibility of design and use between neighboring properties. The PUD is designed to give the Township and applicant more flexibility than would be allowed under the existing zoning, encouraging development of the property according to its unique characteristics.
The provisions of this section are not intended as a device for ignoring the Zoning Ordinance and specific standards set forth therein, or the planning upon which it has been based. To that end, provisions of this section are intended to result in land use development substantially consistent with the existing zoning and existing Charter Township of Orion Master Plan, with modifications and departures from generally applicable requirements made in accordance with standards provided in this section to ensure appropriate, fair, and consistent decision-making. Requirements stated in this section are development guidelines that the Planning Commission, Township Board and Township staff will use to determine the merits of a particular application. The Planning Commission may recommend variations from these guidelines when an applicant has demonstrated that doing so will result in a corresponding benefit to the community.
Approval of a PUD by the Township is optional and will be subject to a determination of compliance by the Planning Commission and Township Board. A PUD shall be reviewed for compliance to the standards contained within this Section of the Ordinance and will be factors used for possible approval or denial.
* * *
C. Project Design Standards. A proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall comply with the following design standards:
* * *
4. Plan Submittal. Any application for a PUD shall be accompanied by three (3) plans: (1) a plan based on existing zoning at the time of application, (2) a density plan prepared in accordance with this section, and (3) a PUD plan. The density allowable within a PUD shall be determined through preparation of the density plan, which shall have the following requirements:
* * *
e. Note that overall residential density shall be determined by use of the density plan using the underlying/existing zoning, corresponding lot sizes in the chart under Section 30.14 (C) (4) (c), above and/or the Township’s Master Plan. The applicant may propose other underlying zoning categories for the consideration of density in the chart above. An applicant shall not be allowed to seek a PUD with a density of greater than two (2) zoning categories higher than the existing/current zoning classification. For example, a density plan designed with an underlying/existing zoning district of SF, Suburban Farms, may request a zoning category shift up to the SR, Suburban Ranch, zoning classification.
The ultimate density shall be recommended by the Planning Commission and determined by the Township Board and shall be based upon the underlying zoning and density credit (if applicable, per Section 30.14 (E)) or a density as designated by the Township’s Master Plan.
f. An applicant shall not be eligible for a two (2) category shift in PUD density as described above, if the subject site was rezoned within three (3) years prior to the submittal of the PUD application.
* * *
8. Regulatory Flexibility. To encourage flexibility and creativity consistent with the PUD concept, the Planning Commission may recommend, and the Township Board may grant, specific departures from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as a part of the approval process. for the following:
a. Yard, lot width, minimum lot size, density and bulk standards may be modified, provided that such modifications result in enhanced buffering from adjacent land uses or public rights-of-way, or preservation of natural features.
b. Parking, loading, landscaping, and similar requirements may also be modified providing the design of the project shall compensate so than any such departures result in no greater adverse impact than if the project had been developed without the departures.
* * *
E. Optional Provisions for Exemplary Projects.
The Planning Commission and Township Board may allow an exemplary Planned Unit Development (PUD) to include one (1) or more of the following optional provisions. In order to qualify for an optional provision, the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission and Township Board, that the proposed project exceeds the minimum standards for PUD eligibility under Section 30.14 (B).
In order to qualify for development under the optional provisions of this section, architectural standards shall be subject to review by the Planning Commission and Township Board. Buildings shall be harmonious with adjacent uses in terms of texture, materials, roof lines and mass, but there shall be a variation of front facade depth and roof lines to avoid monotony. Building elevations shall be required for all structures.
1. Density Credit. A variable density credit of up to fifteen percent (15%) may be allowed at the discretion of the Planning Commission and Township Board, based upon a demonstration by the applicant of design excellence in the PUD. Projects qualifying for a density credit shall include no less than two (2) of the following elements:
* * *
2. Multiple-Family Component. In A PUD with a gross area of ten (10) acres or more may incorporate a multiple-family component, provided that all of the following are met: , up to twenty percent (20%) of the dwelling units may be other than single-family dwellings. Such units shall meet the following design standards:
* * *
3. Commercial Component. A PUD with a gross area of ten (10) acres or more may incorporate a commercial land use component, provided that all of the following are met:
a. The commercial component shall be located on a lot of sufficient size to contain all commercial structures, parking, and landscape buffering. The total area occupied by the commercial land uses may not exceed five percent (5%) of the gross area of the development, or five (5) acres, whichever is less.
* * *
G. Procedures for Review and Approval.
* * *
2. Informal Planning Commission Review. A prospective applicant may also request a brief review with the Planning Commission regarding a proposed PUD. The scheduling of a brief review by the Planning Commission shall be subject to the availability of time on the agenda as determined by the Chairperson of the Planning Commission.
* * *
5. Concept Plan. Following the optional pre-application conference, the applicant shall submit a Concept Plan and application for the proposed PUD.
* * *
b. Submittal. The Concept Plan and application for a PUD shall be submitted to the Township Building Department, and it shall be put on the next available Planning Commission agenda for acceptance for processing, provided the Township received it by noon at least four (4) weeks twelve (12) calendar days prior to the meeting. Upon acceptance for processing submittal, the Planning Commission staff shall also set a date for the joint public hearing.
c. Site Walk. The Planning Commission staff shall coordinate the need for, and if applicable may schedule a site walk with visit to the subject property by members of the Site Walk Committee or with by all members of the Planning Commission.

5) Request Changes. If the Planning Commission request changes, the applicant shall have sixty (60) days in which to submit the revised drawings and/or information within the time frame allotted. One sixty (60) day extension may be granted by the Planning Commission upon request of the applicant, upon good cause shown. Failure to submit the revised plans and/or information within the requisite time frame shall void the request.
* * *
6. Final Plan. Following receipt of the Planning Commission comments on the Concept Plan, and action by the Township Board, the applicant shall submit a Final Plan and supporting materials conforming to this section. If a Final Plan is not submitted by the applicant for final approval within twelve (12) months of Township Board Concept Plan approval, the Concept Plan approval becomes null and void. The Planning Commission may, however, issue a waiver for greater periods of time if it is determined to be appropriate, as a condition of Concept Plan approval. Such extension and request of waiver shall be made prior to the expiration date.
* * *
b. Submittal. The applicant shall submit the Final Plan and application for a PUD to the Township Building Department within twelve (12) months of Concept Plan approval, otherwise the Concept Plan approval becomes null and void. The Planning Commission may, however, issue a waiver for greater periods of time if it is determined to be appropriate, as a condition of Concept Plan approval. Such extension and request of waiver shall be made prior to the expiration date.
The Final Plan shall be put on the next available Planning Commission agenda for acceptance for processing, provided the Township received it by noon at least four (4) weeks twelve (12) calendar days prior to the meeting.
* * *
d. Planning Commission Action. The Planning Commission shall review the Final Plan and shall take one of the following actions:
* * *
5) Request Changes. If the Planning Commission requests changes, the applicant shall have sixty (60) days in which to submit the revised drawings and/or information within the time frame allotted.

* * *
H. Phasing and Commencement of Construction.
1. Phasing. Where a project is proposed for construction in phases, the planning and designing shall be such that, upon completion, each phase shall be capable of standing on its own in terms of the presence of services, facilities, and open space, and shall contain the necessary components to ensure protection of natural resources and the health, safety, and welfare of the users of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the residents of the surrounding area. In addition, in developments which include residential and nonresidential uses, the relative mix of uses and the scheduled completion of construction for each phase shall be disclosed and determined to be reasonable in the discretion of the Township Board, after recommendation from the Planning Commission. Similarly, the schedule upon which any and all community benefits proposed in association with the development will be installed or otherwise become available shall be disclosed and determined to be reasonable at the discretion of the Township Board.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXVII is amended by replacing the hereinafter language in the Article as follows:
ARTICLE XXVII ? General Provisions
* * *
Section 27.07 ? Personal Wireless Service Communication Facilities
A. Purpose and Intent.
It is the general purpose and intent of the Township to carry out the will of the United States Congress by authorizing communication facilities needed to operate wireless communication systems. However, it is further the purpose and intent of the Township to provide for such authorization in a manner which will retain the integrity of residential neighborhoods and the character, property values, and aesthetic quality of the Township at large. In fashioning and administering the provisions of this section, attempt has been made to balance these potentially competing interests.
Recognizing the number of providers authorized to establish and operate wireless communication services and coverage, and changes in State and Federal legislation, it is the further purpose and intent of this section to:
1. Facilitate adequate and efficient provision of sites for wireless communication facilities and ensure that wireless communication facilities are situated in appropriate locations and relationships to other land uses, structures and buildings.
2. Establish predetermined districts in the location considered best for the establishment of wireless communication facilities, subject to applicable standards and conditions.
3. Recognize that operation of a wireless communication system may require the establishment of facilities in locations not within the predetermined districts. In such cases, it has been determined that it is likely that there will be greater adverse impact upon neighborhoods and areas within the community. Consequently, more stringent standards and conditions should apply to the review, approval, and use of such facilities.
4. Limit inappropriate physical and aesthetic overcrowding of land use activities and avoid adverse impact upon existing population, transportation systems, and other public services and facility needs.
5. Provide for adequate information about plans for wireless communication facilities in order to permit the community to effectively plan for the location of such facilities.
6. Minimize the adverse impacts of technological obsolescence of such facilities, including a requirement to remove unused and/or unnecessary facilities in a timely manner.
7. Minimize the negative visual impact of wireless communication facilities on neighborhoods, community land marks, historic sites and buildings, natural beauty areas and public rights-of-way. This contemplates the establishment of as few structures as reasonably feasible, the use of structures which are designed for compatibility, and the use of existing structures.
8. Implement and provide for compliance with State and Federal legislation through new and amended application, review, and decision standards, requirements and procedures for wireless communication facilities requests.
B. Authorization: As a Permitted Use
1. As a Permitted Use Subject to Site Plan Approval.
In all Zoning Districts, a wireless communication facility described in this subsection (B)(1) shall be a permitted use subject to the standards and conditions in subsection (C), the application requirements in subsection (D), the collocation requirements in subsection (E), the procedures in subsection (G), and any prior special land use or site plan approval conditions.
a. Wireless communications equipment attached to an existing structure not previously approved and used as a wireless communications support structure and located within a nonresidential zoning district, where there will be no substantial change in physical dimensions of the existing structure.
b. A proposed collocation upon a wireless communication support structure which has been approved by the Township for such collocation but which is not permitted by administrative review under subsection (B)(3).
c. Wireless communication equipment on an existing utility pole structure located within a right-of-way and not previously approved and used as a wireless communications support structure, where there will be no substantial change in physical dimensions of the existing pole.
d. Attached wireless communication facilities that are not permitted by administrative review under subsection (B)(3).
2. Authorization: As a Special Use.
Unless permitted under subsections (B)(1) or (B)(3), wireless communication facilities require approval as a special land use, which shall be subject to the standards and conditions in subsection (C), the application requirements in subsection (D), the collocation requirements in subsection (E), the procedures in subsection (G), and a demonstration of the need for the proposed facility based on one or more of the following factors:
? Proximity to an interstate or major thoroughfare.
? Areas of population concentration.
? Concentration of commercial, industrial, and/or other business centers.
? Areas where signal interference has occurred due to tall buildings, masses of trees, or other obstructions.
? Topography of the proposed facility location in relation to other facilities with which the proposed facility is to operate.
? Other specifically identified reason creating facility need.
a. If it is demonstrated by an applicant that a wireless communication facility necessary to providing services cannot be established as permitted under subsection (B)(l), wireless communication facilities may be permitted as a special land use in non-residential zoning districts.
b. If it is demonstrated by an applicant that a wireless communication facility necessary to providing services cannot be established as permitted under subsection (B)(l) or in a zoning district identified in subsection (B)(2)a, such wireless communication facility may be considered and permitted elsewhere in the Township as a special land use, subject to the following:
1) In the application, the applicant shall demonstrate that no existing structure identified in subsection (B)(l) or location in a zoning district identified in subsection (B)(2)a, above can reasonably meet the specifically disclosed service, coverage and/or capacity needs of the applicant. Such demonstration requires identification of all structures and properties considered and a factual explanation of why they are not feasible in terms of availability, suitability, or otherwise.
2) Wireless communication facilities shall be of a ‘stealth? design, such as a steeple, bell tower, tree, or other form with substantial landscape buffering which is located and compatible with the existing character of the proposed site, neighborhood and general area, as approved by the Township taking into account any alternative designs submitted by the Applicant or identified during the review and decision process.
3) Locations outside the zoning districts identified in subsection (B)(2)a, shall be limited to the following sites:
i. Municipally-owned sites.
ii. Other governmentally owned sites.
iii. Religious or other institutional sites.
iv. Public or private school sites.
v. Other sites if: (i) not located in a residential zoning district, and (ii) no sites identified in i ? iv, above are available and suitable, as demonstrated in the application and determined by the Planning Commission.
4) The applicant’s demonstration of good faith efforts to identify and evaluate alternate sites, locations, designs, placements, or features for the proposed facility that would or could be more consistent with the ordinance purposes stated in subsection (A).
5) For each alternate site, location, design, placement, or feature for the proposed facility identified by the applicant or otherwise, the applicant’s demonstration that the proposed facility is more consistent with the ordinance purposes stated in subsection (A), and/or that such alternate is not feasible.
3. Authorization: As a Permitted Use Subject to Administrative Review.
A proposal for attached wireless communication facilities that satisfies the following criteria does not require special land use or site plan approval. Confirmation that these criteria are satisfied shall be determined by an administrative review per Section 30.01(D) and written certification by the Building Official to the construction code building official prior to issuance of any construction code permits. Such proposals shall also be reviewed for compliance with the standards and conditions in subsection (C), with the certification to identify any items of noncompliance.
a. The existing wireless communications support structure and/or wireless communications equipment compound are in compliance with this ordinance, and if not, are in compliance with a prior approval under this ordinance.

8. The equipment enclosure may be located within the principal building, an accessory building, or in an equipment compound with landscaping and screening at least eight (8) feet in height and approved by the Township upon a demonstration by the applicant that placement of the equipment inside a building is not practical due to site or equipment conditions or constraints. If proposed as an accessory building or equipment compound, it shall conform to all district requirements for principal buildings, including yard setbacks. Where a wireless communication facility is proposed on the roof of a building, any equipment enclosure proposed as a roof appliance or penthouse on the building, shall be designed, constructed and maintained to be architecturally compatible with the principal building. Wireless communication facilities mounted upon the side of a building shall be attached flush against the building surface, and shall not be allowed to protrude more than the depth of the antenna. Such facilities shall blend into the design, contour and color scheme of the building.
9. The Township shall review and approve the architecture and color of the support structure and all accessory buildings and structures so as to minimize distraction, reduce visibility, maximize aesthetic appearance, and ensure compatibility with surroundings. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to maintain the wireless communication facility in a neat and orderly condition.

17. The Applicant’s email address, fax number or address to which the Township should direct notices regarding the Application.
E. Collocation.
1. Statement of Policy.
It is the policy of the Township to minimize the overall number of newly established locations for wireless communication facilities and Wireless Communication Support Structures within the community, and encourage the use of existing structures for Attached Wireless Communication Facility purposes, consistent with the statement of purpose and intent, set forth in Subsection (A), Purpose and Intent, above. Each licensed provider of a wireless communication facility must, by law, be permitted to locate sufficient facilities in order to achieve the objectives promulgated by the United States Congress. However, particularly in light of the dramatic increase in the number of wireless communication facilities reasonably anticipated to occur as a result of the change of federal law and policy in and relating to the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, it is the policy of the Township that all users should collocate on Attached Wireless Communication Facilities and Wireless Communication Support Structures in the interest of achieving the purposes and intent of this section, as stated above, and as stated in Subsection (A), Purpose and Intent. If a provider fails or refuses to permit collocation on a facility owned or otherwise controlled by it, where collocation is feasible, the result will be that a new and unnecessary additional structure will be compelled, in direct violation of and in direct contradiction to the basic policy, intent and purpose of the Township. The provisions of this subsection are designed to carry out and encourage conformity with the policy of the Township.
2. Feasibility of collocation.
Collocation shall be deemed to be ‘feasible? for purposes of this section where all of the following are met:
a. The wireless communication provider entity under consideration for collocation will undertake to pay market rent or other market compensation for collocation.
b. The site on which collocation is being considered, taking into consideration reasonable modification or replacement of a facility, is able to provide structural support.
c. The collocation being considered is technologically reasonable, e.g., the collocation will not result in unreasonable interference, given appropriate physical and other adjustment in relation to the structure, antennas, and the like.
d. The height of the structure necessary for collocation will not be increased beyond a point deemed to be permissible by the Township, taking into consideration the several standards contained in Subsections (B) and (C), above.
3. Requirements for Collocation.
a. The construction and use of a new wireless communication facility shall not be granted unless? and until the applicant demonstrates that a feasible collocation is not available for the coverage area and capacity needs.
b. All new and modified wireless communication facilities shall be designed and constructed so as to accommodate collocation.
c. The policy of the community is for collocation. Thus, if a party who owns or otherwise controls a facility shall fail or refuse to alter a structure so as to accommodate a proposed and otherwise feasible collocation, such facility shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to be a non-conforming structure and use, and shall not be altered, expanded or extended in any respect.
d. If a party who owns or otherwise controls a facility shall fail or refuse to permit a feasible collocation, and this requires the construction and/or use of a new facility, the party failing or refusing to permit a feasible collocation shall be deemed to be in direct violation and contradiction of the policy, intent and purpose of the Township, and, consequently such party shall take responsibility for the violation, and shall be prohibited from receiving approval for a new wireless communication support structure within the Township for a period of five years from the date of the failure or refusal to permit the collocation. Such a party may seek and obtain a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals if and to the limited extent the applicant demonstrates entitlement to variance relief which, in this context, shall mean a demonstration that enforcement of the five year prohibition would unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent wireless communication services, or that such enforcement would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless communication services.
F. Removal.
1. A wireless communication facility must furnish reasonable evidence of ongoing operation at any time after construction.
2. A condition of every approval of a wireless communication facility shall be removal of all or part of the facility by users and owners when the facility has not been used for 180 days or more. For purposes of this section, the removal of antennas or other equipment from the facility, or the cessation of operations (transmission and/or reception of radio signals) shall be considered as the beginning of a period of nonuse.
3. The situations in which removal of a facility is required, as set forth in paragraph (2) above, may be applied and limited to portions of a facility no longer being used, by written application to and approval of the Zoning Administrator.
4. If removal of all or part of a facility is required, the property owner or persons who had used the facility shall immediately apply or secure the application for any required demolition or removal permits, and immediately proceed with and complete the demolition/removal, restoring the premises to an acceptable condition as reasonably determined by the Zoning Administrator.
5. The required removal of a facility or a portion thereof shall be lawfully completed within 60 days of the period of nonuse under paragraph (2) above. If removal is not completed within that time, after at least 30 days written notice, the Township may remove or secure the removal of the facility or required portions thereof, with its actual cost and reasonable administrative charge to be drawn or collected from the security posted at the time application was made for establishing the facility.
G. Procedures.
1. Review and administrative actions on special land use and site plan approval applications.
a. The Zoning Administrator shall promptly review special land use and site plan approval applications to determine if they are administratively complete by inclusion of all information required in subsection (D). If the application is not complete, no later than 14 busine

SECTION 2 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXVII is amended by replacing the hereinafter language in the Article as follows:
ARTICLE XXVII ? General Provisions
* * *
Section 27.07 ? Wireless Communication Facilities
A. Purpose and Intent.
It is the general purpose and intent of the Township to carry out the will of the United States Congress by authorizing communication facilities needed to operate wireless communication systems. However, it is further the purpose and intent of the Township to provide for such authorization in a manner which will retain the integrity of residential neighborhoods and the character, property values, and aesthetic quality of the Township at large. In fashioning and administering the provisions of this section, attempt has been made to balance these potentially competing interests.
Recognizing the number of providers authorized to establish and operate wireless communication services and coverage, and changes in State and Federal legislation, it is the further purpose and intent of this section to:
1. Facilitate adequate and efficient provision of sites for wireless communication facilities and ensure that wireless communication facilities are situated in appropriate locations and relationships to other land uses, structures and buildings.
2. Establish predetermined districts in the location considered best for the establishment of wireless communication facilities, subject to applicable standards and conditions.
3. Recognize that operation of a wireless communication system may require the establishment of facilities in locations not within the predetermined districts. In such cases, it has been determined that it is likely that there will be greater adverse impact upon neighborhoods and areas within the community. Consequently, more stringent standards and conditions should apply to the review, approval, and use of such facilities.
4. Limit inappropriate physical and aesthetic overcrowding of land use activities and avoid adverse impact upon existing population, transportation systems, and other public services and facility needs.
5. Provide for adequate information about plans for wireless communication facilities in order to permit the community to effectively plan for the location of such facilities.
6. Minimize the adverse impacts of technological obsolescence of such facilities, including a requirement to remove unused and/or unnecessary facilities in a timely manner.
7. Minimize the negative visual impact of wireless communication facilities on neighborhoods, community land marks, historic sites and buildings, natural beauty areas and public rights-of-way. This contemplates the establishment of as few structures as reasonably feasible, the use of structures which are designed for compatibility, and the use of existing structures.
8. Implement and provide for compliance with State and Federal legislation through new and amended application, review, and decision standards, requirements and procedures for wireless communication facilities requests.
B. Authorization: As a Permitted Use
1. As a Permitted Use Subject to Site Plan Approval.
In all Zoning Districts, a wireless communication facility described in this subsection (B)(1) shall be a permitted use subject to the standards and conditions in subsection (C), the application requirements in subsection (D), the collocation requirements in subsection (E), the procedures in subsection (G), and any prior special land use or site plan approval conditions.
a. Wireless communications equipment attached to an existing structure not previously approved and used as a wireless communications support structure and located within a nonresidential zoning district, where there will be no substantial change in physical dimensions of the existing structure.
b. A proposed collocation upon a wireless communication support structure which has been approved by the Township for such collocation but which is not permitted by administrative review under subsection (B)(3).
c. Wireless communication equipment on an existing utility pole structure located within a right-of-way and not previously approved and used as a wireless communications support structure, where there will be no substantial change in physical dimensions of the existing pole.
d. Attached wireless communication facilities that are not permitted by administrative review under subsection (B)(3).
2. Authorization: As a Special Use.
Unless permitted under subsections (B)(1) or (B)(3), wireless communication facilities require approval as a special land use, which shall be subject to the standards and conditions in subsection (C), the application requirements in subsection (D), the collocation requirements in subsection (E), the procedures in subsection (G), and a demonstration of the need for the proposed facility based on one or more of the following factors:
? Proximity to an interstate or major thoroughfare.
? Areas of population concentration.
? Concentration of commercial, industrial, and/or other business centers.
? Areas where signal interference has occurred due to tall buildings, masses of trees, or other obstructions.
? Topography of the proposed facility location in relation to other facilities with which the proposed facility is to operate.
? Other specifically identified reason creating facility need.
a. If it is demonstrated by an applicant that a wireless communication facility necessary to providing services cannot be established as permitted under subsection (B)(l), wireless communication facilities may be permitted as a special land use in non-residential zoning districts.
b. If it is demonstrated by an applicant that a wireless communication facility necessary to providing services cannot be established as permitted under subsection (B)(l) or in a zoning district identified in subsection (B)(2)a, such wireless communication facility may be considered and permitted elsewhere in the Township as a special land use, subject to the following:
1) In the application, the applicant shall demonstrate that no existing structure identified in subsection (B)(l) or location in a zoning district identified in subsection (B)(2)a, above can reasonably meet the specifically disclosed service, coverage and/or capacity needs of the applicant. Such demonstration requires identification of all structures and properties considered and a factual explanation of why they are not feasible in terms of availability, suitability, or otherwise.
2) Wireless communication facilities shall be of a ‘stealth? design, such as a steeple, bell tower, tree, or other form with substantial landscape buffering which is located and compatible with the existing character of the proposed site, neighborhood and general area, as approved by the Township taking into account any alternative designs submitted by the Applicant or identified during the review and decision process.
3) Locations outside the zoning districts identified in subsection (B)(2)a, shall be limited to the following sites:
i. Municipally-owned sites.
ii. Other governmentally owned sites.
iii. Religious or other institutional sites.
iv. Public or private school sites.
v. Other sites if: (i) not located in a residential zoning district, and (ii) no sites identified in i ? iv, above are available and suitable, as demonstrated in the application and determined by the Planning Commission.
4) The applicant’s demonstration of good faith efforts to identify and evaluate alternate sites, locations, designs, placements, or features for the proposed facility that would or could be more consistent with the ordinance purposes stated in subsection (A).
5) For each alternate site, location, design, placement, or feature for the proposed facility identified by the applicant or otherwise, the applicant’s demonstration that the proposed facility is more consistent with the ordinance purposes stated in subsection (A), and/or that such alternate is not feasible.
3. Authorization: As a Permitted Use Subject to Administrative Review.
A proposal for attached wireless communication facilities that satisfies the following criteria does not require special land use or site plan approval. Confirmation that these criteria are satisfied shall be determined by an administrative review per Section 30.01(D) and written certification by the Building Official to the construction code building official prior to issuance of any construction code permits. Such proposals shall also be reviewed for compliance with the standards and conditions in subsection (C), with the certification to identify any items of noncompliance.
a. The existing wireless communications support structure and/or wireless communications equipment compound are in compliance with this ordinance, and if not, are in compliance with a prior approval under this ordinance.

If proposed as an accessory building or equipment compound, it shall conform to all district requirements for principal buildings, including yard setbacks. Where a wireless communication facility is proposed on the roof of a building, any equipment enclosure proposed as a roof appliance or penthouse on the building, shall be designed, constructed and maintained to be architecturally compatible with the principal building. Wireless communication facilities mounted upon the side of a building shall be attached flush against the building surface, and shall not be allowed to protrude more than the depth of the antenna. Such facilities shall blend into the design, contour and color scheme of the building.
9. The Township shall review and approve the architecture and color of the support structure and all accessory buildings and structures so as to minimize distraction, reduce visibility, maximize aesthetic appearance, and ensure compatibility with surroundings. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to maintain the wireless communication facility in a neat and orderly condition. Lighting is only allowed if required by, and in compliance with the standards of, the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, Michigan Aeronautics Commission, other governmental agencies, or the Township as a special use approval condition. Any such requirements and standards shall be documented by the Applicant

17. The Applicant’s email address, fax number or address to which the Township should direct notices regarding the Application.
E. Collocation.
1. Statement of Policy.
It is the policy of the Township to minimize the overall number of newly established locations for wireless communication facilities and Wireless Communication Support Structures within the community, and encourage the use of existing structures for Attached Wireless Communication Facility purposes, consistent with the statement of purpose and intent, set forth in Subsection (A), Purpose and Intent, above. Each licensed provider of a wireless communication facility must, by law, be permitted to locate sufficient facilities in order to achieve the objectives promulgated by the United States Congress. However, particularly in light of the dramatic increase in the number of wireless communication facilities reasonably anticipated to occur as a result of the change of federal law and policy in and relating to the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, it is the policy of the Township that all users should collocate on Attached Wireless Communication Facilities and Wireless Communication Support Structures in the interest of achieving the purposes and intent of this section, as stated above, and as stated in Subsection (A), Purpose and Intent. If a provider fails or refuses to permit collocation on a facility owned or otherwise controlled by it, where collocation is feasible, the result will be that a new and unnecessary additional structure will be compelled, in direct violation of and in direct contradiction to the basic policy, intent and purpose of the Township. The provisions of this subsection are designed to carry out and encourage conformity with the policy of the Township.
2. Feasibility of collocation.
Collocation shall be deemed to be ‘feasible? for purposes of this section where all of the following are met:
a. The wireless communication provider entity under consideration for collocation will undertake to pay market rent or other market compensation for collocation.
b. The site on which collocation is being considered, taking into consideration reasonable modification or replacement of a facility, is able to provide structural support.
c. The collocation being considered is technologically reasonable, e.g., the collocation will not result in unreasonable interference, given appropriate physical and other adjustment in relation to the structure, antennas, and the like.
d. The height of the structure necessary for collocation will not be increased beyond a point deemed to be permissible by the Township, taking into consideration the several standards contained in Subsections (B) and (C), above.
3. Requirements for Collocation.
a. The construction and use of a new wireless communication facility shall not be granted unless? and until the applicant demonstrates that a feasible collocation is not available for the coverage area and capacity needs.
b. All new and modified wireless communication facilities shall be designed and constructed so as to accommodate collocation.
c. The policy of the community is for collocation. Thus, if a party who owns or otherwise controls a facility shall fail or refuse to alter a structure so as to accommodate a proposed and otherwise feasible collocation, such facility shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to be a non-conforming structure and use, and shall not be altered, expanded or extended in any respect.
d. If a party who owns or otherwise controls a facility shall fail or refuse to permit a feasible collocation, and this requires the construction and/or use of a new facility, the party failing or refusing to permit a feasible collocation shall be deemed to be in direct violation and contradiction of the policy, intent and purpose of the Township, and, consequently such party shall take responsibility for the violation, and shall be prohibited from receiving approval for a new wireless communication support structure within the Township for a period of five years from the date of the failure or refusal to permit the collocation. Such a party may seek and obtain a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals if and to the limited extent the applicant demonstrates entitlement to variance relief which, in this context, shall mean a demonstration that enforcement of the five year prohibition would unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent wireless communication services, or that such enforcement would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless communication services.
F. Removal.
1. A wireless communication facility must furnish reasonable evidence of ongoing operation at any time after construction.
2. A condition of every approval of a wireless communication facility shall be removal of all or part of the facility by users and owners when the facility has not been used for 180 days or more. For purposes of this section, the removal of antennas or other equipment from the facility, or the cessation of operations (transmission and/or reception of radio signals) shall be considered as the beginning of a period of nonuse.
3. The situations in which removal of a facility is required, as set forth in paragraph (2) above, may be applied and limited to portions of a facility no longer being used, by written application to and approval of the Zoning Administrator.
4. If removal of all or part of a facility is required, the property owner or persons who had used the facility shall immediately apply or secure the application for any required demolition or removal permits, and immediately proceed with and complete the demolition/removal, restoring the premises to an acceptable condition as reasonably determined by the Zoning Administrator.
5. The required removal of a facility or a portion thereof shall be lawfully completed within 60 days of the period of nonuse under paragraph (2) above. If removal is not completed within that time, after at least 30 days written notice, the Township may remove or secure the removal of the facility or required portions thereof, with its actual cost and reasonable administrative charge to be drawn or collected from the security posted at the time application was made for establishing the facility.
G. Procedures.
1. Review and administrative actions on special land use and site plan approval applications.
a. The Zoning Administrator shall promptly review special land use and site plan approval applications to determine if they are administratively complete by inclusion of all information required in subsection (D). If the application is not complete, no later than 14 business days after receiving it, the Zoning Administrator shall provide a written or electronic notice to the Appl

S. General Landscaping Requirements.
1. General Site Requirements. All undeveloped portions of the site shall conform to the following general landscaping standards, except where specific landscape elements, such as greenbelts, berms, parking lot landscaping, landscaping along roadways, or screening, are required:
a. All undeveloped portions of the site shall be planted with grass, ground cover, landscape mulch, shrubbery, landscape stone, or other suitable live plant material, which shall extend to any abutting street pavement edge. Grass areas in the front yard of all nonresidential uses shall be planted with sod or hydroseeded.
b. Unless otherwise specified, wherever an evergreen or landscaped screen is required, screening shall consist of closely spaced evergreen plantings (i.e., no farther than fifteen (15) feet apart), which can be reasonably expected to form an eighty percent (80%) visual barrier in summer and a sixty percent (60%) visual barrier in winter, and that will be at least six (6) feet above the ground level within three (3) years of planting. Deciduous plant materials may be used, provided that an eighty percent (80%) visual barrier in summer and a sixty percent (60%) visual barrier in winter is maintained. Wherever screening is required adjacent to residentially zoned property, the screening shall be installed as soon as practicable in relation to site grading and general construction activities.
c. The site plan shall indicate the proposed method of watering landscaped areas. Although not required, installation of an inground irrigation/sprinkler system is encouraged, particularly in front yards.
d. The landscape requirements as illustrated in Figures 34.1 through 34.5 are representative. The required number of trees and shrubs may be grouped or clustered within a flexible design arrangement, as long as the minimum quantity of plant materials is provided.
2. Landscape Material Standards. Unless otherwise specified, all landscape materials shall comply with the following standards: Plant materials used in compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be nursery grown, free of pests and diseases, hardy in southeastern portion of the state, in conformance with the American Standards for Nursery Stock of the American Landscape and Nursery Association (formerly the American Association of Nurserymen) and shall have passed inspections required under state regulations.
3. Modifications to Requirements. In consideration of the overall design and impact of a specific landscape plan and in consideration of the amount of existing plant material to be retained on the site, the Planning Commission may modify the specific requirements outlined in this Section, provided that any such adjustment is in keeping with the intent of this Section and this chapter in general. In determining whether a modification is appropriate, the Planning Commission shall consider whether the following conditions exist:
a. Topographic features or other unique features of the site create conditions such that strict application of the landscape regulations would result in a less effective screen than an alternative landscape design.
b. Parking, vehicular circulation, or land use are such that required landscaping would not enhance the site or result in the desired screening effect.
c. The public benefit intended by the landscape regulations could be better achieved with a plan that varies from the strict requirements of this Section.

S. General Landscaping Requirements.
1. General Site Requirements. All undeveloped portions of the site shall conform to the following general landscaping standards, except where specific landscape elements, such as greenbelts, berms, parking lot landscaping, landscaping along roadways, or screening, are required:
a. All undeveloped portions of the site shall be planted with grass, ground cover, landscape mulch, shrubbery, landscape stone, or other suitable live plant material, which shall extend to any abutting street pavement edge. Grass areas in the front yard of all nonresidential uses shall be planted with sod or hydroseeded.
b. Unless otherwise specified, wherever an evergreen or landscaped screen is required, screening shall consist of closely spaced evergreen plantings (i.e., no farther than fifteen (15) feet apart), which can be reasonably expected to form an eighty percent (80%) visual barrier in summer and a sixty percent (60%) visual barrier in winter, and that will be at least six (6) feet above the ground level within three (3) years of planting. Deciduous plant materials may be used, provided that an eighty percent (80%) visual barrier in summer and a sixty percent (60%) visual barrier in winter is maintained. Wherever screening is required adjacent to residentially zoned property, the screening shall be installed as soon as practicable in relation to site grading and general construction activities.
c. The site plan shall indicate the proposed method of watering landscaped areas. Although not required, installation of an inground irrigation/sprinkler system is encouraged, particularly in front yards.
d. The landscape requirements as illustrated in Figures 34.1 through 34.5 are representative. The required number of trees and shrubs may be grouped or clustered within a flexible design arrangement, as long as the minimum quantity of plant materials is provided.
2. Landscape Material Standards. Unless otherwise specified, all landscape materials shall comply with the following standards: Plant materials used in compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be nursery grown, free of pests and diseases, hardy in southeastern portion of the state, in conformance with the American Standards for Nursery Stock of the American Landscape and Nursery Association (formerly the American Association of Nurserymen) and shall have passed inspections required under state regulations.
3. Modifications to Requirements. In consideration of the overall design and impact of a specific landscape plan and in consideration of the amount of existing plant material to be retained on the site, the Planning Commission may modify the specific requirements outlined in this Section, provided that any such adjustment is in keeping with the intent of this Section and this chapter in general. In determining whether a modification is appropriate, the Planning Commission shall consider whether the following conditions exist:
a. Topographic features or other unique features of the site create conditions such that strict application of the landscape regulations would result in a less effective screen than an alternative landscape design.
b. Parking, vehicular circulation, or land use are such that required landscaping would not enhance the site or result in the desired screening effect.
c. The public benefit intended by the landscape regulations could be better achieved with a plan that varies from the strict requirements of this Section.

It is estimated that this proposal would result in the authorization to collect approximately $440,093 in the first year, if approved and levied.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
The Charter Township of Orion will hold a public hearing on the proposed Project Plan for the Township’s inflow and infiltration (I/I) removal program for the purpose of receiving comments from interested persons.
The hearing will be held during the regular Township Board meeting, at 8:00 p.m., on June 16, 2008, at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan.
The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce the amount of stormwater entering the sanitary sewer system. Reducing the clean water entering the sanitary system will reduce sanitary sewage treatment costs for the Township.
The proposed Project Plan provides: extensive background information, an identification of the various alternatives considered to reduce I/I, an analysis of the principle alternatives with their associated costs and benefits, and a more detailed description and discussion of the recommended alternative. The final Project Plan, following receipt, consideration, and response to public input, will be submitted to the MDEQ as required to qualify for low interest loan financing for the selected project elements.
The recommended alternative that is proposed involves removing l/I by means of manhole rehabilitation, pipe rehabilitation, and sump pump disconnection. The proposed projects target areas of high I/I as determined by a flow metering study performed in 2007.
Beneficial impacts of the proposed project include; improving service life of the sewer system infrastructure and reducing treatment costs. Adverse impacts of the project include additional costs and construction related impacts such as short term traffic disruption, noise, and dust similar to street construction work.
The Township is proposing to fund the project at no additional cost to the users.
Copies of the draft plan detailing the proposed project are available for review during normal business hours, Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, at the Township Clerk’s office. Written comments, which must be received before the hearing record is closed on June 16, 2008, can be submitted to:

1. The prohibited acts contained in Section 5 of this Ordinance.
2. Failure to remove such weeds, grass, or other items shall result in the Township Weed Control Officer causing such public nuisance to be removed and the costs billed to the property owner.
3. Failure to pay such costs within thirty (30) days shall cause that cost plus a twenty five percent (25%) administration fee, or other fee set by resolution of the Township Board, to be placed as a lien on said property and to be placed on the tax roll.
B. Action Authorized.
1. If, after May 15, the owner, agent, or occupant of any lot or lots to which this Ordinance applies shall fail to comply or refuse to comply with the provisions herein, the Weed Control Officer shall cause a notice to be sent by first class mail to the owner as listed on the Township assessment roll, or by posting said notice on the property in question.
2. If, after ten (10) days of the notice provided for in Paragraph 1 above having been sent, the owner, agent, or occupant of said lot or lots still has not complied with the provisions of this Ordinance, then the Weed Control Officer may enter upon such lot or lots and cut and destroy, or cause to be cut and destroyed, any and all noxious weeds, tall grass, or other items of a public nuisance located thereon.
3. The Weed Control Officer may use or cause to be used any hand or mechanical means of removing any and all items of public nuisance and shall take or cause to be taken all due care to avoid unnecessary damage to property.
C. Failure to Give Notice. Failure of the Weed Control Officer to give the notice provided herein does not, however, constitute a defense to an action to enforce the payment of a fine provided for or debt created under this Ordinance.
Section 7 – Costs and Reimbursement of Abatement Costs to the Township
A. Costs. The owner, agent, or occupant of any lot or lots on which the Township is compelled to cut and destroy noxious weeds, tall grass, or other items of a public nuisance shall be liable for all costs incurred by the Township in connection with such cutting and destruction. The costs shall be computed as follows:
1. Whenever the Township shall enter upon any parcel of land in order to accomplish abatement of an existing violation, pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, the Township Weed Control Officer is hereby authorized and directed to keep an accurate account of all expenses incurred, and, based upon same, and pursuant to authorized costs set per resolution of the Township Board, issue a certificate determining and certifying the reasonable cost involved for such work with respect to each parcel of property.
2. The Township Weed Control Officer is also authorized to add to such costs a 25% administration charge, or other charge set by resolution of the Township Board, to cover the expenses of administering the work performed, costs of publication, overhead and other contingent expenses.
3. Within ten days after receipt of the certificate, the Township treasurer shall forward a statement of the total charges assessed on each parcel of property to the person as shown by the last current assessment or tax roll and such assessment shall be payable to the Township treasurer within 30 days from the date the statement was forwarded.
4. If not paid within the prescribed 30-day period, such statement shall be filed with the Township assessor and shall thereupon be assessed against the land in question and become a lien on such property in accordance with the provisions of General property Tax Act. Such amount shall be a debt of the person to whom assessed until paid and, in case of delinquency, may be enforced as delinquent Township property taxes or by a suit against such person.
Section 8 ? Section 9 [unchanged]
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
That all other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance

ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 142 SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA AND DANGEROUS PRODUCTS EMERGENCY ORDINANCE
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, June 18, 2012, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an Emergency Ordinance to prohibit the possession and use of and trafficking in, synthetic marijuana and other products or materials that are in a form that allows for human consumption by inhalation of smoke or vapors, ingestion, injection or application, and that contain chemical substances, compounds, or agents that cause or may cause an intoxicating, narcotic, stimulant, depressant, and/or hallucinogenic effect and an imminent threat to the safety of persons that consume such products or materials and/or persons they come in contact with, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; providing for penalties; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
The CHARTER Township of ORION OrdainS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Article I. Title
This Ordinance shall be known and cited as the Orion Township ‘Synthetic Marijuana and Dangerous Products Emergency Ordinance? and it shall be deemed sufficient, in any actions for the enforcement thereof, to define the same by such short title, or by reference to the number hereof.
Article II. Purpose and Intent
A. The Township finds that synthetic marijuana, consisting of plant or other material treated with chemicals or other substances that have not been approved for human consumption, is being marketed and sold as herbal incense and is being used in the same manner and for the same purposes as marijuana, with that use having become increasingly popular, particularly among teens and young adults.
B. The Township further finds based on information and reports from poison control centers, hospitals, emergency room doctors, and police agencies, that individuals who use synthetic marijuana experience dangerous side effects including convulsions, tremors, seizures, hallucinations, unconsciousness, anxiety attacks, dangerously elevated heart rates, increased blood pressure, vomiting, and disorientation, evidencing that these herbal incense products are harmful if consumed and present an imminent and significant public health danger to persons consuming such products and other persons coming in contact with them.
C. The Township further finds that, notwithstanding the high potential for abuse, and lack of any accepted medical use, the ability of the state to prohibit all forms of synthetic marijuana as a controlled substance has been frustrated due to the changing nature of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
D. The Township further finds that in addition to synthetic marijuana, there may be other products or materials containing chemicals or substances, that while not approved for human consumption, are or may be marketed and sold in a form that allows for such consumption and which, upon consumption, may result in the same serious side effects and public health dangers as synthetic marijuana.
E. Based on these findings, this Ordinance is adopted for the purpose and with the intent to protect the public health and safety of the township and its residents from the threat posed by the availability and use of synthetic marijuana and other dangerous products by prohibiting persons from trafficking in, possessing, and using them in the township.
Article III. Definitions and adoption by reference
As used in this Ordinance, the following words and phrases have the meanings indicated.
‘Act? means the controlled substances provisions in Article 7 of the Public Health Code, Public Act No. 368 of 1978, MCL 333.7101 to MCL 333.7545, as amended, which is hereby adopted by reference as a part of this Ordinance.
‘Chemical agent? means any chemical or organic compound, substance, or agent that is not made, intended and approved for consumption by humans.
‘Consumable product or material? means a product or material, that regardless of packaging disclaimers or disclosures that is not for human consumption or use, is in a form that readily allows for human consumption by inhalation, ingestion, injection, or application, through means including but not limited to smoking, or ingestion by mouth with or without mixing with food or drink.
‘Controlled substance? means a substance included as a controlled substance in schedules 1 through 5 of the Act or a substance temporarily scheduled or rescheduled as a controlled substance as provided in the Act.
‘Controlled substance analogue? has the same meaning as defined in the Act, which is a substance, the chemical structure of which is substantially similar to that of a controlled substance in schedules 1 and 2 of the Act.
‘Dangerous product? means a consumable product or material containing a dangerous substance.
‘Dangerous substance? means: (i) a chemical agent that under section 2451 of the Act, MCL 333.2451, has been determined by the local health officer to be or present an imminent danger to the health or lives of humans when present in a consumable product or material; and/or, (ii) a chemical agent in a consumable product or material unless that chemical agent is conspicuously identified and described in writing on the packaging of the product, and has not been previously determined by the township or other governmental authority to be or present an imminent danger to the health or lives of humans when present in that type of consumable product or material.
‘Synthetic cannabinoid? means a chemical compound, substance or agent identified in the Synthetic Cannabinoid Appendix that is part of this Ordinance, as amended from time to time by Resolution of the Township Board.
‘Synthetic marijuana? means a consumable product or material that contains a synthetic cannabinoid or other dangerous substance including herb and herbal incense products marketed and most commonly known as K-2 and Spice.
‘Traffic and trafficking? means to manufacture, distribute, dispense, sell, transfer, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, dispense, sell, or transfer.

(b) A dangerous product.
(c) Synthetic marijuana or cannabinoid.
Article VI. Probable cause evidentiary presumption
In recognition that the presence of a controlled substance, controlled substance analogue, synthetic cannabinoid, or dangerous substance in a consumable product or material may require laboratory testing that cannot be done at the time a violation of this Ordinance is believed to have occurred, for purposes of determining the existence of probable cause, it shall be presumed that a consumable product or material contains one or more of those substances if it is being or has been marketed or sold for a price that is substantially higher than the price at which the same quantity of a similar and comparable product or material that is known to not contain such substances can be purchased.
Article VII. Penalties

OAKLAND COUNTY ART INSTITUTE AUTHORITY MILLAGE
The Oakland County Art Institute Authority established pursuant to Public Act 296 of 2010 to allow for continuing support of art institute services for the students, residents and visitors of Oakland County. The law allows the Authority to seek authorization from the electors to levy a tax of not more than 0.2 mill (20 cents per $1,000 of taxable value) on real and personal property to provide revenue to an art institute services provider for this purpose. Accordingly, to continue providing art institute services to benefit the residents of Oakland County, shall a 0.2 mill on all of the taxable property located within the County be imposed for a period of ten (10) years, being years 2012 through 2021? It is estimated that if approved and levied, this new millage would generate approximately $9,847,191 in 2012.

Approval of this proposal would authorize the levy of approximately $.9916 per $1,000 of taxable value on all property in the Township and the Village of Lake Orion. It is estimated that this proposal would result in authorization to collect approximately $1,297,750 in the first year if approved and levied.

It is estimated that this proposal would result in authorization to collect approximately $2,425,440 in the first year if approved and levied. A property with taxable value of $50,000 would be taxed $99.16 for the millage.
PROPOSED POLICE MILLAGE
Shall the Charter Township of Orion be authorized to levy an additional 1.0168 mills for a period of 4 years beginning December 2012 and expiring December 2015 to provide police protection services; including equipment, operating costs, officer quarters and personnel costs in the Township?

A property with taxable value of $50,000 would be taxed $50.84 for the millage.

Accordingly, to continue providing art institute services to benefit the residents of Oakland County, shall a 0.2 mill on all of the taxable property located within the County be imposed for a period of ten (10) years, being years 2012 through 2021?

ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 78-199 AMENDMENT TO ORD. 78, ZONING ORDINANCE ARTICLE XXVII LANDSCAPING, FENCES & WALLS
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, September 17, 2007, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XVII, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Section 27.05; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 27.05 – Landscaping, Fences, and Walls
A. Landscaping.
1. Intent. Landscaping, greenbelts, and screening are necessary for the protection and enhancement of the environment and for the continued vitality of all land uses in the Township. Landscaping and greenbelts are capable of enhancing the visual environment, preserving natural features, improving property values, and alleviating the impact of noise, traffic, and visual disruption related to intensive uses. Screening is important to protect less-intensive uses from the noise, light, traffic, litter, and other impacts of intensive non-residential uses. The purpose of this section is to set minimum standards for the protection and enhancement of the environment through requirements for the design and use of landscaping, greenbelts, and screening.
2. Scope of Application. The requirements set forth in this section shall apply to all uses, lots, sites, and parcels which are developed or expanded following the effective date of this Ordinance. No site plan shall be approved unless said site plan shows landscaping consistent with the provisions of this section. Furthermore, where landscaping is required, a building permit shall not be issued until the required landscape plan is submitted and approved, and a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued unless provisions set forth in this section have been met or a performance bond has been posted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 30.11.
In cases where the use of an existing building changes or an existing building is changed or otherwise altered, all of the standards set forth herein shall be met.
The requirements of this section are minimum requirements, and nothing herein shall preclude a developer and the Township from agreeing to more extensive landscaping.
3. Landscaping Design Standards. Except as otherwise specified in the general requirements for each zoning district, all landscaping shall conform to the following standards:
a. General Landscaping. All developed portions of the site shall conform to the following general landscaping standards, except where specific landscape elements, such as a greenbelt, berms, or screening are required:
i. All portions of the landscaped area shall be planted with grass, ground cover, shrubbery, or other suitable plant material, except that paved patios, terraces, sidewalks, and similar site features may be incorporated, with Planning Commission approval.
ii. A mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees shall be planted at the rate of one (1) tree for each three thousand (3,000) square feet, or portion thereof, of landscaped open-space area.
iii. Required trees and shrubs may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
iv. All landscaped areas shall have an underground irrigation system or shall be provided with a readily available and acceptable water supply with at least one (1) hose bib within one hundred (100) feet of all planted material to be maintained.
v. The total landscaped area shall be the basis for determining the required number of trees or shrubs, irrespective of the portion which is devoted to patios, terraces, sidewalks, or other site features.
vi. In consideration of the overall design and impact of the landscape plan, the Planning Commission may reduce or waive the requirements outlined herein for General Landscaping, or for landscaping in greenbelt areas, on berms, or as part of a screen, provided that any such adjustment is in keeping with the intent of the Ordinance, and more specifically, with the intent of Section 27.05.
4. Parking Lot Landscaping Adjacent to Roads Excluding Single Family Residential Uses. A greenbelt separation area is required between the right-of-way property line and the nearest portion of any off-street parking area, for parcels fronting roads but excluding single family residential uses. Said area shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet in width and minimally landscaped as follows and as illustrated the following figure:
a. One (1) tree for each thirty (30) lineal feet, or fraction thereof, of required greenbelt separation area (including driveways). Such trees shall be located between the abutting right-of-way and the off-street parking area or vehicular use area.
b. In addition, a hedge, wall, decorative metal fence, or berm, or other landscape elements with a vertical rise of at least thirty (30) inches shall be developed within said separation zone. The hedge, wall, fence, or berm shall have the effect of reducing the visual effect of parked cars. If the developer decides to construct a masonry wall or decorative fence, he/she shall in addition plant one (1) shrub or vine for each ten (10) lineal feet of masonry wall on the street side of the wall.
c. The remainder of the required landscape separation area shall be landscaped with grass, ground cover or other landscape treatment, excluding paving such as concrete or asphalt. This shall not be construed to prohibit decorative brick paving.

d. The Planning Commission may at their discretion wave or modify the requirements of this section subject to one or more of the following conditions: limited parcel depth, existing vegetation or other site factors which limit the practical application of landscaping standards.
e. Landscaping of Right-of-Way and Other Adjacent Public Open Space Areas. Public rights-of-way and other public open-space areas adjacent to required landscaped areas and greenbelts shall be planted with grass or other suitable ground cover and maintained by the owner of the adjacent property as if they were part of required landscaped areas and greenbelts.
f. Regulations Pertaining to Landscaping Areas Used for Sight Distance. When a driveway intersects a public right-of-way or when the subject property abuts the intersection of public rights-of-way or intersection of interior driveways, all landscaping within the corner triangular areas described below shall permit unobstructed cross-visibility. Shrubs located in the triangular area shall not be permitted to grow to a height of more than thirty (30) inches above the pavement grade at the edge of the pavement. Portions of required berms located within sight distance triangular areas shall not exceed a height of thirty (30) inches above the pavement grade at the edge of the pavement. Trees may be maintained in this area provided that all branches are trimmed to maintain a clear vision for a vertical height of eight (8) feet above the roadway surface. Landscaping, except grass or ground cover, shall not be located closer than three (3) feet from the edge of a driveway.
The triangular areas referred to above are:
i. The area formed at the corner intersection of a public right-of-way and a driveway, two (2) sides of the triangle area being ten (10) feet in length measured along the right-of-way line and driveway line and the third side being a line connecting these two (2) sides.

iii. A minimum of one (1) deciduous tree or evergreen tree shall be planted for each thirty (30) lineal feet, or portion thereof, of required greenbelt length. Required trees may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
iv. For the purpose of determining required plant material, required greenbelt area length shall be measured along the exterior periphery of the greenbelt area.
b. Berms. Where required by the Planning Commission, earth berms or landscaped berms shall be in conjunction with landscape greenbelt, and conform to the following standards:
i. The berm shall be at least three (3) feet above the grade elevation, and shall be constructed with slopes no steeper than one (1) foot vertical for each four (4) feet horizontal, with at least a two (2) foot flat area on the top. For the purposes of this provision, grade elevation shall be the ground elevation at the property line adjacent to the proposed berm.
ii. The berm area shall be planted with grass or other suitable ground cover to ensure that it withstands wind and weather and retains its height and shape.
iii. A minimum of one (1) deciduous or evergreen tree shall be planted for each thirty (30) lineal feet or portion thereof of required berm.
iv. Eight (8) shrubs per tree may be planted as substitute for trees required in Item ‘iii? above.
v. Required trees and shrubs may be planted at uniform intervals, at random, or in groupings.
vi. For the purpose of determining required plant material, required berm length shall be measured along the exterior periphery of the berm.
vii. The berm and landscape buffer shall provide sufficient screening and opacity in order to appropriately obscure and buffer conflicting land uses.
c. Obscuring Walls.
Where permitted or required in this Ordinance, obscuring walls and/or berms in non-residential districts shall be subject to the provisions set forth in this section:
i. General Requirements. In order to protect residential uses from the possible noise, light, traffic, litter, visual disruption, and other impacts associated with more intensive, non-residential uses, an obscuring wall, fence, berm, or other protective barrier, as approved by the Planning Commission, shall be required between any non-residential use or off-street parking area and adjacent residentially zoned districts. Furthermore, such walls, fences, berms, or other protective barriers shall be required between any residentially zoned district and any utility buildings, stations, and substations, except where all utility equipment is contained within a building or designed so as to be similar in appearance to the surrounding residential buildings. Where a non-residential use is located directly, a berm shall be required along the front property line of the non-residential property.
ii. Location. Required obscuring walls, fences, and protective barriers (other than berms) shall be placed on the lot line, except where underground utilities interfere, in which case the required walls or fences shall be placed on the utility easement line nearest the lot line.
iii. Openings for Vehicular Access. Required obscuring walls, fences and berms shall be continuous, with no interruptions or openings except for permitted roads and driveways for vehicular access.
iv. Corner Clearance. No obscuring walls and berms shall be erected, established, or maintained on any corner lot so as to obscure the view of drivers in vehicles approaching the intersection. All specifications concerning corner clearance as set forth in Section 27.03 must be complied with.
v. Substitution. As a substitute for required obscuring walls or berms, the Planning Commission may, in its review of the site plan, approve the use of existing and/or other natural or man-made landscape features that would produce substantial results in terms of screening, durability, and permanence.
vi. Wall Specifications. Required obscuring walls shall be a minimum of six (6) feet in height, and shall be constructed of the same materials as, or of materials that are architecturally compatible with, the materials used on the facade of the principal structure on the lot.

Barbed wire, spikes, nails, or any other sharp-pointed intrusions shall be prohibited on top or on the sides of any fence, wall, or protective barrier, except that barbed wire cradles consisting of no more than three (3) strands of wire may be placed on top of fences enclosing public utility buildings.
ix. Entranceway Structures. Entranceway structures shall be permitted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 27.05 herein.
6. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping. Off-street parking areas shall be landscaped as follows:
a. Off-street parking areas containing greater than twenty (20) spaces shall be provided with at least twenty (20) square feet of interior landscaping per parking space. A minimum of one-third (1/3) of the trees required in Section 27.05.A.5 shall be placed on the interior of the parking area and the remaining may be placed surrounding the perimeter parking lot within ten (10) feet, as illustrated on the following figure. Whenever possible, parking lot landscaping shall be arranged to improve the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, guide traffic movement, and improve the appearance of the parking area.
b. A minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted per two hundred (200) square feet or fraction thereof of interior parking lot landscaping. At least fifty percent (50%) of each interior landscaped area shall be covered by living plant material, such as sod, shrubs, ground cover, or trees. Interior parking lot shrubs and trees shall permit unobstructed visibility and maintain clear vision between a height of thirty (30) inches to eight (8) feet.
c. Interior parking lot landscaping islands shall be no less than ten (10) feet in any single dimension and no less than two hundred (200) square feet in any single area and shall be protected from parking areas with curbing, or other permanent means to prevent vehicular encroachment onto the landscaped areas.

C. Installation and Maintenance. The following standards shall be observed where installation and maintenance of landscape materials is required:
1. Installation. Landscaping shall be installed in a sound, workman-like manner and according to accepted good planning procedures, with the quality of plant materials as hereinafter described. Landscaped areas shall be protected from vehicular encroachment by use of wheel stops or some other means. Landscaped areas shall be elevated above the pavement to a height adequate to protect plant materials from snow removal operations, salt, and other hazards. If building or paving construction is completed in an off-planting season, a temporary Certificate of Occupancy may be issued only after the owner provides a performance bond to ensure installation of required landscaping in the next planting season.
2. Maintenance. The owner of landscaping required by this Ordinance shall maintain the landscaping in a healthy, neat, and orderly appearance, free from refuse and debris. All unhealthy and dead plant material shall be replaced in the next appropriate planting period. Maintenance of landscaped areas in public rights-of-way adjacent to required landscape areas shall be the responsibility of the owner of the adjacent private property.
D. Regulations Pertaining to Existing Plant Material. The following standards shall apply to existing plant material:
1. Consideration of Existing Plant Material. In instances where healthy plant material exists on a site prior to its development, the Planning Commission, pursuant to site plan approval, may adjust the application of the above standards to allow credit for such existing plant material, if such an adjustment is in keeping with and will preserve the intent of this Ordinance.
Existing hedges, berms, wall or other landscape elements may be used to satisfy the requirements of this section, provided that such existing landscaping is in conformance with all of the requirements of this section. Maintenance of the existing landscaping elements shall be the responsibility of the individual petitioning for approval, unless an agreement between the affected property owners relative to maintenance is presented. Any such agreement shall be approved by the Township Board and recorded at the Oakland County Register of Deeds.
2. Preservation of Existing Plant Material. Site plans shall show all existing trees that are located in the portions of the site that will be built upon or otherwise altered, and are four (4) inches or greater in caliper, measured twelve (12) inches above grade, except that trees listed as Prohibited Plant Materials in Section 27.05 (A) (7) herein need not be shown unless said trees measure twelve (12) inches or greater in caliper, measured twelve (12) inches above grade.
Individual trees in wooded areas, in clusters, or in hedgerows need not be identified, provided that the boundaries of the wooded area, cluster, or hedgerow are shown, the predominant species of trees are indicated, and that individual trees twelve (12) inches or more in caliper measured twelve (12) inches above grade are identified.
Trees shall be labeled ‘to be removed? or ‘to be saved? on the site plan. If existing plant material is labeled ‘to be saved? on the site plan, protective measures should be implemented such as the placing of fencing or stakes at the dripline around the perimeter of the plant material. No vehicle or other construction equipment shall be parked or stored within the dripline of any plant material intended to be saved.
In the event that healthy plant materials which are intended to meet the requirements of the Ordinance are cut down, destroyed or damaged during construction, the owner shall replace them according to the following schedule:

Caliper Measured Twelve (12) Inches Above Grade
Damaged Replacement Replacement Tree Tree Ratio
Less than 6 inches 2? – 3 inches 1 for 1
1 replacement
tree per each 6″
More than 6 2 – 2? inches in caliper or
inches fraction thereof
of damaged tree
Replacement trees shall be the same species as the damaged or removed tree, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission.
E. Prohibited Plant Materials. The following plant materials (and/or their clones and cultivars) shall not be planted in this Township, because of susceptibility to storm damage, disease, and/or other undesirable characteristics:
Silver Maple Tree of Heaven Northern Catalpa Poplar Ash Box Elder European Barberry Eastern Red Cedar Willow American Elm
F. Variances from Landscaping Regulations. In cases where the existing structure on its site presents practical difficulties to meeting all of the standards, the Zoning Board of Appeals may approve variances from the standards based on procedures for variances set forth in Section 30.03. In determining whether a variance would be appropriate, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall use the following criteria:
1. Topographic features or special characteristics exist on the site which create conditions such that the strict application of the provisions of this section would result in a less effective screen than alternative landscape design and plantings; or
2. Parking, vehicular circulation, or land use are such that required landscaping would not enhance the site or result in the desired buffer or screen effect; or
3. The public benefit intended by the provisions in this section could be achieved with less than the required landscaping.
G. Entranceway Structures.
Entranceway structures, such as walls, columns, or gates, shall be permitted in accordance with the following regulations:
1. Location and Purpose. Entranceway structures shall be permitted in any required yard area for the purpose of indicating the entrance to a subdivision, multiple-family development, mobile home park, industrial park, office park, or similar planned development containing several buildings that are related in purpose.
Entranceway structures shall be subject to the provisions concerning corner clearance, set forth in Section 27.03.
2. Signage. Signage on entranceway structures shall be limited only to the name and address of the subdivision, park, or development.
3. Construction and Design. Any entranceway structure shall be constructed of permanent, durable materials and shall be designed so as to be compatible with the architecture of surrounding development.
4. Site Plan. Prior to issuance of a building permit for any entranceway structure, a site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for review and approval. The site plan shall include an elevation drawing and a cross-section of the proposed structure. The site plan shall show the relationship of the entranceway to the right-of-way of the intersecting roads and/or driveways.
H. Residential Fence and Wall Regulations.
Where permitted or required in this Ordinance, fences and walls in residential districts shall be subject to the provisions set forth in this section:
1. Lot Enclosures. Fences and walls used to enclose a lot shall be no higher than four (4) feet in height and shall be located on the lot line.
2. Privacy or Decorative Fences and Walls. Fences and walls erected primarily for privacy or decoration shall not be located within any required yard setback area and shall not exceed six (6) feet in height.
3. Corner Clearance. No fences or walls shall be erected, established or maintained on any corner lot so as to obscure the view of drivers in vehicles approaching the intersection. All specifications concerning corner clearance as set forth in Section 27.03 shall be complied with.
4. Large Lots Excluded. Fences and walls shall be excluded from the provisions of this section if such lots have an area of more than two (2) acres, have frontage of at least two hundred (200) feet, and are not part of a recorded plat.
5. Fences Enclosing Public Areas. Fences, walls or other protective barriers that enclose parks, playgrounds, or other public landscaped areas shall not exceed ten (10) feet in height. The Planning Commission may authorize a fence, wall, or protective barrier of additional height, with or without barbed wire, where necessary, to protect public utility or municipal installations in a residential district.
6. Wall Specifications. Walls shall be erected on a concrete foundation which shall have a minimum depth of forty-two (42) inches below grade. The foundation shall be at least four (4) inches wider than the wall to be erected.
7. Fence Specifications. Fences constructed of chain link, wood, vinyl or other similar materials are permitted.? Posts shall be sunk into the ground at least three (3) feet.
8. Barbed Wire Prohibited. Barbed wire, spikes, nails, or any other sharp-pointed intrusions shall be prohibited on top or on the sides of any fence, wall, or protective barrier, except that barbed wire cradles consisting of no more than three (3) strands of wire may be placed on top of fences enclosing public utility buildings.

Article XXVII ? General Provisions
Section 27.17 – Wetland Setbacks
A. It is the intent of this section to require a minimum setback from wetlands (or natural features), and to regulate property within such setback in order to prevent physical harm, impairment and/or destruction of or to a natural feature or the surrounding area. It has been determined that, in the absence of such a minimum setback, intrusions in or onto natural features would occur, resulting in harm, impairment and/or destruction of natural features contrary to the public health, safety and general welfare. This regulation is based on the police power, for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, including the authority granted in the zoning enabling act. It is further the purpose of this section to establish and preserve minimum setback from wetlands (or natural features) in order to recognize and make provision for the special relationship, interrelationship and interdependency between the natural feature and the setback area in terms of: spatial relationship, interdependency in terms of physical location, plant and animal species, over land and subsurface hydrology, water table, water quality, and erosion of sediment deposition.
It is further the purpose of this section to provide for protection, preservation, proper maintenance and use of areas surrounding wetlands (or natural features) in order to minimize disturbance to the area and to prevent damage from erosion and siltation, a loss of wildlife and vegetation, and/or from the destruction of the natural habitat. A setback shall be maintained in relation to all areas defined in this chapter, unless, and to the extent, it is determined to be in the public interest not to maintain such setback.
B. Setbacks. For all wetlands as defined in Article II of this ordinance and by Ordinance No. 107, setbacks for all structures, parking lots, streets or driveways shall be in accordance with the following regulations:
Required Setbacks
All structures or buildings 25 ft.
All decks 10 ft.
Parking lots 25 ft.
Streets, roads, driveways 25 ft.
C. Waivers. The Planning Commission has the discretion to decrease the above required setbacks upon demonstration of the appropriateness of a lower setback and compliance with one (1) or more of the following criteria:
1. demonstrated habitat preservation
2. demonstrated water quality preservation
3. demonstrated storm water quality retention
4. existence of a legal lot of record
For development projects adjacent to wetlands which are not reviewed by the Planning Commission, the Building Official shall have authority to issue setback waivers subject to the criteria as listed above. Appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals, in accordance with Section 30.04, may also be sought.
SECTION 23 of Ordinance
Article XXX ? Administrative Procedures & Standards
Section 30.14 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)
C. Project Design Standards. A proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall comply with the following design standards:
4. Plan Submittal. Any application for a PUD shall be accompanied by three (3) plans: (1) a plan based on existing zoning at the time of application, (2) a density plan prepared in accordance with this section, and (3) a PUD plan. The density allowable within a PUD shall be determined through preparation of the density plan, which shall have the following requirements:
a. The applicant shall prepare, and present to the Planning Commission for review, a density plan for the project that is consistent with State, County, and Township requirements and design criteria for a tentative preliminary plat or site condo, whichever is appropriate. The density plan shall meet all standards for lot size (as shown in Paragraph B below), lot width and setbacks as normally required under Article XXVI, public roadway improvements and private parks, and contain an area which conceptually would provide sufficient area for stormwater detention. Lots in the density plan shall provide sufficient building envelope size without impacting wetlands regulated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. All structures, buildings, parking lots, streets, roads and driveways shall be setback twenty-five (25) feet from any wetland boundary as defined in Article II and Section 27.17 while decks shall be setback ten (10) feet from the same boundary.
* * *
15. Natural Features. The development shall be designed to promote the preservation of natural resources and natural features, taking into consideration the local, state, and federal concern for the protection and preservation of natural resources and natural features, and taking into account the provisions and standards of the Township’s Wetlands Protection Ordinance No. 107 and the Stormwater Management Ordinance No. 92. If animal or plant habitats of significant value exist on the site, the Planning Commission and Township Board shall require that the PUD plan preserve these areas in a natural state and adequately protect them as conservation easements of limited access areas. The Planning Commission and Township Board shall also require a minimum of a twenty-five (25) foot wide undisturbed open space setback from the edge of any lake, pond, river, stream or wetland; provided that the Planning Commission and Township Board may permit trails, boardwalks, observation platforms, or other similar structures than enhance the passive enjoyment of the site’s natural amenities, within the setback. Additionally, the setbacks may be modified or waived upon demonstration of the appropriateness of a lower setback and compliance with one (1) or more of the following criteria:
a. demonstrated habitat preservation
b. demonstrated water quality preservation
c. demonstrated storm water quality retention
d. existence of a legal lot of record

SECTION 22 of Ordinance
Article XXVII ? General Provisions
Section 27.17 – Wetland Setbacks
A. It is the intent of this section to require a minimum setback from wetlands (or natural features), and to regulate property within such setback in order to prevent physical harm, impairment and/or destruction of or to a natural feature or the surrounding area. It has been determined that, in the absence of such a minimum setback, intrusions in or onto natural features would occur, resulting in harm, impairment and/or destruction of natural features contrary to the public health, safety and general welfare. This regulation is based on the police power, for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, including the authority granted in the zoning enabling act. It is further the purpose of this section to establish and preserve minimum setback from wetlands (or natural features) in order to recognize and make provision for the special relationship, interrelationship and interdependency between the natural feature and the setback area in terms of: spatial relationship, interdependency in terms of physical location, plant and animal species, over land and subsurface hydrology, water table, water quality, and erosion of sediment deposition.
It is further the purpose of this section to provide for protection, preservation, proper maintenance and use of areas surrounding wetlands (or natural features) in order to minimize disturbance to the area and to prevent damage from erosion and siltation, a loss of wildlife and vegetation, and/or from the destruction of the natural habitat. A setback shall be maintained in relation to all areas defined in this chapter, unless, and to the extent, it is determined to be in the public interest not to maintain such setback.
B. Setbacks. For all wetlands as defined in Article II of this ordinance and by Ordinance No. 107, setbacks for all structures, parking lots, streets or driveways shall be in accordance with the following regulations:
Required Setbacks
All structures or buildings 25 ft.
All decks 10 ft.
Parking lots 25 ft.
Streets, roads, driveways 25 ft.
C. Waivers. The Planning Commission has the discretion to decrease the above required setbacks upon demonstration of the appropriateness of a lower setback and compliance with one (1) or more of the following criteria:
1. demonstrated habitat preservation
2. demonstrated water quality preservation
3. demonstrated storm water quality retention
4. existence of a legal lot of record
For development projects adjacent to wetlands which are not reviewed by the Planning Commission, the Building Official shall have authority to issue setback waivers subject to the criteria as listed above. Appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals, in accordance with Section 30.04, may also be sought.
SECTION 23 of Ordinance
Article XXX ? Administrative Procedures & Standards
Section 30.13 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)
C. Project Design Standards. A proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall comply with the following design standards:
4. Plan Submittal. Any application for a PUD shall be accompanied by three (3) plans: (1) a plan based on existing zoning at the time of application, (2) a density plan prepared in accordance with this section, and (3) a PUD plan. The density allowable within a PUD shall be determined through preparation of the density plan, which shall have the following requirements:
a. The applicant shall prepare, and present to the Planning Commission for review, a density plan for the project that is consistent with State, County, and Township requirements and design criteria for a tentative preliminary plat or site condo, whichever is appropriate. The density plan shall meet all standards for lot size (as shown in Paragraph B below), lot width and setbacks as normally required under Article XXVI, public roadway improvements and private parks, and contain an area which conceptually would provide sufficient area for stormwater detention. Lots in the density plan shall provide sufficient building envelope size without impacting wetlands regulated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. All structures, buildings, parking lots, streets, roads and driveways shall be setback twenty-five (25) feet from any the wetland boundary as defined in Article II and Section 27.17 while decks shall be setback ten (10) feet from the same boundary. and parking lots shall be set back ten (10) feet from the wetland boundary.
* * *
15. Natural Features. The development shall be designed to promote the preservation of natural resources and natural features, taking into consideration the local, state, and federal concern for the protection and preservation of natural resources and natural features, and taking into account the provisions and standards of the Township’s Wetlands Protection Ordinance No. 107 and the Stormwater Management Ordinance No. 92. If animal or plant habitats of significant value exist on the site, the Planning Commission and Township Board shall require that the PUD plan preserve these areas in a natural state and adequately protect them as conservation easements of limited access areas. The Planning Commission and Township Board shall also require a minimum of a twenty-five (25) foot wide undisturbed open space setback from the edge of any lake, pond, river, stream or wetland; provided that the Planning Commission and Township Board may permit trails, boardwalks, observation platforms, or other similar structures than enhance the passive enjoyment of the site’s natural amenities, within the setback. Additionally, the setbacks may be modified or waived upon demonstration of the appropriateness of a lower setback and compliance with one (1) or more of the following criteria:

b. demonstrated water quality preservation

Notice of Public Hearing
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the Orion Township Board on Monday, October 1, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. in the Board Room at the Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, MI 48360. The public hearing is being held to receive comments and consider the adoption of the Charter Township of Orion Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan 2008-2012. The Township has been in the process of developing the Master Plan since November 2007. Throughout the planning process, the Township has solicited input from the 2006 Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment, a public workshop in March 2007, a public open house in May 2007, as well as public input received at monthly Parks and Recreation Committee meetings. Draft concept plans for each of the Township parks were also posted to the Township website where input was received via email and telephone.
A Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan assists the Township in identifying recreation needs within the community. The plan will serve as a guide for maintaining, improving and expanding facilities. While a Recreation Master Plan assists the community in determining its goals and needs, if approved by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), it also qualifies the community for recreation grants which are administered through the MDNR Grants Administration Section. The proposed Master Plan includes a community description, an overview of the administrative structure of the Township, an inventory of existing facilities, a basis for action and finally recommended goals, guidelines and capital improvement priorities for the next five years.
The hearing is intended to provide an opportunity for interested citizens to express their opinions regarding the aspects of the proposed Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan.
Copies of the proposed Charter Township of Orion Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan 2008-2012 will be available for review at the Township Hall August 31, 2007 as well as on the Township website at www.oriontownship.org. Written comments can be submitted to Jill D. Bastian, Clerk, Charter Township of Orion, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, MI 48360 or via e-mail at clerksoffice@oriontownship.org.

i. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this Ordinance, off street parking shall be provided as required by the regulations of the districts in which such buildings or uses are located. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date and diligently pursued to completion, parking facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of said building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amounts required by this Ordinance.
ii. If the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises is increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement specified herein for required parking, additional off street parking shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use.
iii. Whenever the existing use of a building or structure is changed to a new use, parking facilities shall be provided as required by this Ordinance for the new use, regardless of any variance which might have been in effect prior to the change of use.
b. Existing Parking Facilities. Off street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not be further reduced below, the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this Ordinance.
An area designated as required off street parking shall not be changed to any other use unless and until equal facilities are provided elsewhere in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
c. Additional Off Street Parking. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be deemed to prevent voluntary establishment of off street parking facilities to serve any existing use or land or buildings, provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.
d. Submission of Plot Plan. No off street parking facilities shall be constructed unless a building permit is first obtained from the Building Department. Any application for a building permit shall include a plot plan showing any off street parking facilities proposed in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. Calculations for required parking shall be submitted on the plot plan or site plan and shall indicate the proposed use, building square footage and required number of parking spaces.

Section 30.03 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)

A. Intent. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) may be applied for in any zoning district.

? Township Supervisor

During the pre-application conference, a prospective applicant may request that the PUD be considered as a Minor PUD. The Minor PUD will be subject to the same standards and submittal requirements as a Major PUD. However, a Minor PUD will allow a concurrent review of a Concept Plan (Section 30.03.G.5) and a Final Plan (Section 30.03.G.6).
Eligibility for a Minor PUD review shall be subject to the following guidelines:
? Proposed PUD uses, including single-use or mixed-use developments.
? Traffic impacts, including traffic generation and level of service of existing road system.
? Impact on natural resources such as woodlands, wetlands, and natural areas.
? Potential impacts on adjoining property owners.
Township representatives attending the pre-application conference shall consider the request for a Minor PUD review and shall consider the above guidelines in determining eligibility for a Minor PUD. Township representatives shall then inform the prospective applicant if the project is eligible for Minor PUD consideration.
If the Township representatives determine that the project is eligible for Minor PUD, a concurrent submittal of the Concept PUD plan (Section 30.03.G.5) and Final PUD plan (Section 30.03.G.6) shall be submitted. Eligibility for Minor PUD consideration shall not in any way imply or commit approval of the final PUD by the Planning Commission or Township Board.
2. Informal Planning Commission Review. A prospective applicant may also request a brief review with the Planning Commission regarding a proposed PUD. The scheduling of a brief review by the Planning Commission shall be subject to the availability of time on the agenda as determined by the Chairperson of the Planning Commission.
3. Signage. An applicant requesting a PUD shall construct and install a sign indicating the requested PUD. The sign shall be in accordance with Section 30.04 (G) of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Procedures. The procedures for PUD approval are summarized in the PUD process flow chart found at the end of this section.
5. Concept Plan. Following the optional pre-application conference, the applicant shall submit a Concept Plan and application for the proposed PUD.
* * *
e. Public Hearing. The Concept Plan shall be noticed for a joint public hearing before the Planning Commission and Township Board, in accordance with the procedures, public notice, and hearing requirements for rezoning approval as set forth in Section 30.04. If any Township Board member or Planning Commissioner is unable to attend the joint public hearing, they may submit written comments to the Township Clerk, who will read them into the minutes of the hearing.
If, during the pre-application conference, the Township representatives determine that a Minor PUD may be submitted, a joint public hearing of the Township Board and Planning Commission shall not be necessary, and the public hearing shall be conducted by the Planning Commission.

The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Tuesday, January 22, 2013, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XXX, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; changing the text in Section 30.03, to create a Minor PUD option; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXX is amended by adding the herein after language in the Article as follows:
ARTICLE XXX ? Administrative Procedures & Standards
* * *
Section 30.03 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)
* * *
A. Intent. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) may be applied for in any zoning district. The granting of a PUD application shall require a rezoning by way of amendment to this Ordinance upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approval of the Township Board. The procedure for rezoning is that which is authorized by the Zoning Enabling Act (Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended), as contained in Section 503.
* * *
The procedures for review of a PUD are specified in Section 30.03.G, and can be processed as either a Minor or Major PUD. A Minor PUD will be subject to the same standards and informational requirements as a major PUD. However, a minor PUD will allow a concurrent review of a Concept Plan (Section 30.03.G.5) and a Final Plan (Section 30.03.G.6).
* * *
G. Procedures for Review and Approval.
1. Pre-Application Conference. Prior to the submission of an application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval, a pre-application conference may be held. The purpose of this conference shall focus on the PUD process and required information, as outlined in this section, and shall not constitute any form of official review and approval of the PUD project. Nor shall this conference in any way circumvent, replace, or supersede the review and approval powers of the Planning Commission and Township Board regarding the PUD application. The pre-application conference shall determine if a PUD can be considered for Minor or Major PUD procedures. The eligibility to apply for a Minor PUD shall be determined by an affirmative vote of the following individuals:
? One member of the Planning Commission
? One representative of the Building/Planning Department
? Township Supervisor
The Building Department shall, if requested, contact the requisite parties and schedule the meeting to be held in the Township Hall. In addition to the applicant and/or applicant’s representatives, the following persons may be in attendance: Township Zoning/Planning Administrator and/or Planning Coordinator, Building Official, Director of Public Works, Fire Chief, and Township Planning and Engineering consultants. The applicant shall present at such conference, or conferences, at least a sketch plan of the proposed PUD, as well as the following information:
a. Total size of the project.
b. A statement of the number of residential units, if any.
c. The number and type of non-residential uses.
d. The size of the area to be occupied by each type of use.
e. The known deviations from ordinance regulations to be sought.
f. The number of acres to be preserved as open or recreational space.
g. All known natural features or historic features to be preserved.
During the pre-application conference, a prospective applicant may request that the PUD be considered as a Minor PUD. The Minor PUD will be subject to the same standards and submittal requirements as a Major PUD. However, a Minor PUD will allow a concurrent review of a Concept Plan (Section 30.03.G.5) and a Final Plan (Section 30.03.G.6).
Eligibility for a Minor PUD review shall be subject to the following guidelines:
? Proposed PUD uses, including single-use or mixed-use developments.
? Traffic impacts, including traffic generation and level of service of existing road system.
? Impact on natural resources such as woodlands, wetlands, and natural areas.
? Potential impacts on adjoining property owners.
Township representatives attending the pre-application conference shall consider the request for a Minor PUD review and shall consider the above guidelines in determining eligibility for a Minor PUD. Township representatives shall then inform the prospective applicant if the project is eligible for Minor PUD consideration.
If the Township representatives determine that the project is eligible for Minor PUD, a concurrent submittal of the Concept PUD plan (Section 30.03.G.5) and Final PUD plan (Section 30.03.G.6) shall be submitted. Eligibility for Minor PUD consideration shall not in any way imply or commit approval of the final PUD by the Planning Commission or Township Board.
2. Informal Planning Commission Review. A prospective applicant may also request a brief review with the Planning Commission regarding a proposed PUD. The scheduling of a brief review by the Planning Commission shall be subject to the availability of time on the agenda as determined by the Chairperson of the Planning Commission.
3. Signage. An applicant requesting a PUD shall construct and install a sign indicating the requested PUD. The sign shall be in accordance with Section 30.04 (G) of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Procedures. The procedures for PUD approval are summarized in the PUD process flow chart found at the end of this section.
5. Concept Plan. Following the optional pre-application conference, the applicant shall submit a Concept Plan and application for the proposed PUD.
* * *
e. Public Hearing. The Concept Plan shall be noticed for a joint public hearing before the Planning Commission and Township Board, in accordance with the procedures, public notice, and hearing requirements for rezoning approval as set forth in Section 30.04. If any Township Board member or Planning Commissioner is unable to attend the joint public hearing, they may submit written comments to the Township Clerk, who will read them into the minutes of the hearing.
If, during the pre-application conference, the Township representatives determine that a Minor PUD may be submitted, a joint public hearing of the Township Board and Planning Commission shall not be necessary, and the public hearing shall be conducted by the Planning Commission.

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is holding a public comment period from
October 2, 2013, until November 1, 2013, and a public hearing, if requested, on November 6, 2013, on General Motors, LLC ? Orion Assembly Plant’s proposed installation and operation of five landfill gas fired engines and associated generator sets to produce electricity for the facility. The facility is located at 4555 Giddings Road, Lake Orion, Michigan. The public comment period and hearing, if requested, are to allow all interested parties the opportunity to comment on the Department’s proposed conditional approval of a Permit to Install (PTI). It has been preliminarily determined that the project will not violate any of the Department’s rules nor the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
This proposal is subject to the state and federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration rules and regulations for a modification to an existing major stationary source based on the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO). All other emissions of regulated new source review pollutants from the engines were either less than a significant increase or less than a net significant increase for the project.
Additionally, the new air pollution control systems will require revisions to Renewable Operating Permit (ROP) No. MI-ROP-B7227-2009b (SRN B7227). This public comment period meets the public participation requirements for a future administrative amendment to the ROP.

Section 30.13 – Planned Unit Development (PUD)
C. Project Design Standards. A proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall comply with the following design standards:
4. Plan Submittal. Any application for a PUD shall be accompanied by three (3) plans: (1) a plan based on existing zoning at the time of application, (2) a density plan prepared in accordance with this section, and (3) a PUD plan. The density allowable within a PUD shall be determined through preparation of the density plan, which shall have the following requirements:
e. Note that overall residential density shall be determined by use of the density plan using the underlying/existing zoning, and corresponding lot sizes in the chart under Section 30.13(C)(4)(c), above and/or the Township’s Master Plan.

The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, November 20, 2006, to be held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, proposes to adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance No. 78, Article XXX, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; amending the text in Section 30.13; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Township Planning and Zoning Acts as amended, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXX, Section 30.13, Planned Unit Development (PUD) is amended by removing the herein after language in the Article as follows:
Section 30.13 ? Planned Unit Development (PUD)
C. Project Design Standards. A proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall comply with the following design standards:
4. Plan Submittal. Any application for a PUD shall be accompanied by three (3) plans: (1) a plan based on existing zoning at the time of application, (2) a density plan prepared in accordance with this section, and (3) a PUD plan. The density allowable within a PUD shall be determined through preparation of the density plan, which shall have the following requirements:
e. Note that overall residential density shall be determined by use of the density plan using the underlying/existing zoning, and corresponding lot sizes in the chart under Section 30.13(C)(4)(c), above and/or the Township’s Master Plan. The applicant may propose other underlying zoning categories for the consideration of density in the chart above. This shall, however, require a concurrent rezoning application in accordance with Section 30.05. An applicant shall not be allowed to seek a PUD with a density of greater than two (2) zoning categories higher than the existing/current zoning classification. For example, a density plan designed with an underlying/existing zoning district of SF, Suburban Farms, may request a zoning category shift up to the SR, Suburban Ranch, zoning classification.
The ultimate density shall be recommended by the Planning Commission and determined by the Township Board and shall be based upon the underlying zoning, concurrent rezoning applications and density credit (if applicable, per Section 30.13E) or a density as designated by the Township’s Master Plan. The required public hearing for a concurrent rezoning may be conducted in conjunction with the public hearing required for PUD eligibility.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
Nothing in this Ordinance amendment shall restrict or nullify an enforcement action relative to any act or offense committed or done before the effective date of this Ordinance, and any enforcement action or prosecution is hereby waived.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
The various parts, sections and clauses of this Ordinance are declared to be severable. If any part, sentence, paragraph, section or clause is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the ordinance shall not be affected.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township of Orion, and shall become effective upon publication, as provided by law.
Copies of the proposed Ordinance are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, and may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

If a defendant defaults in the payment of a civil fine, costs, or other damages or expenses, or installment as ordered by the district court, upon motion of the Township of Orion or upon its own motion, the court may require the defendant to show cause why the defendant should not be held in civil contempt and may issue a summons, order to show cause, or bench warrant of arrest for the defendant’s appearance.

Section 6 – General Regulations of Oakland County Department of Public Works, County of Oakland Sewage Disposal Systems.
(A)??’Section Requirements Mandatory for Connection: All sanitary sewer systems connected directly or indirectly into the intercepting sewer or sewers of the Oakland County Department of Public Works shall meet the requirements set forth in this section.
(B)??’Plans, Permits and Bonds:
(1)??’Prior to connection and prior to start of construction, all sanitary sewer systems shall have engineering plans and specifications prepared by a professional engineer and shall be approved by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
(2)??’A connection permit shall be obtained by the owner or contractor from the Oakland County Department of Public Works. Said connection permit shall show the location of the work; the extent of the work; information regarding the contractor, the owner and the engineer; and any other pertinent information as shall be determined necessary by the department of public works. A fee shall be charged for said permit to cover the cost of inspection of each connection and to verify the result of the acceptance test. The permit fee shall be one hundred fifty dollars ($150) for each connection plus fifteen dollars ($15) for each new manhole constructed. Inspection requested during other than normal working hours shall be performed only if deemed necessary by the Oakland County Department of Public Works. The fee for such inspection shall be two hundred fifty dollars ($250) per day minimum, in addition to the normal connection permit fee.
(3)??’Individual building sewers which are directly connected into the county sanitary sewer system shall conform to all applicable requirements of this division. A connection permit, for which a charge of fifty dollars ($50) will be made by the Oakland County Department of Public Works, shall be obtained from the department of public works before such connection is made. Prior to the issuance of such connection permit, the person obtaining such permit shall have obtained the written approval of the local unit of government. Connection shall be made in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with methods and procedures established by the department of public works.
The party to whom such a permit is issued shall be responsible for notifying the department of public works twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the date and time when such a connection is made so that proper inspection of same can be made by the department.
(4)??’Prior to the adjustment, reconstruction, relocation or any other altering of the sewers of the County of Oakland, including manhole structures, the contractor or the person responsible for the work shall first obtain a permit to do such work from the Oakland County Department of Public Works. Said permit fee shall be determined by the department of public works.
(5)??’Prior to construction and during the life of permits obtained in accordance with subsections (B)(2), (3) and (4) of this section, all owners or contractors shall yearly furnish to the Oakland County Department of Public Works a satisfactory surety bond in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) as security for the faithful performance of the work in accordance with the plans and specifications and departmental standards, and yearly furnish to the Oakland County Department of Public Works a cash deposit in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500). Such deposit shall provide funds for emergency work and/or such other work, as may be deemed necessary by the Oakland County Department of Public Works, arising as a result of construction by the owner or contractor. Such bonds shall not be cancelled by the owner, the contractor or the surety without first having given ten (10) days written notice to the Oakland County Department of Public Works. Cash deposits may be returned to the owner or contractor within ten (10) days of receipt of written request therefore, except that no deposits will be returned until such time as all outstanding permits have received final inspection and approval. In the event that it becomes necessary for the Oakland County Department of Public Works to expend funds for work arising as a result of construction by the owner or the contractor, then the cost of such work shall be deducted from the aforementioned cash deposit.
The owner or contractor shall have the right and opportunity to correct any deficiencies promptly before any deposit funds will be spent by the Oakland County Department of Public Works. The owner or contractor shall, within thirty (30) days of the mailing of written notice thereof, pay to the Oakland County Department of Public Works the entire amount of such cost. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations and the standards of the Oakland County Department of Public Works may result in the immediate termination of the surety and cash bonds.
(C)??’Bulkhead: The contractor shall install a suitable bulkhead to prevent construction water, sand, silt, etc., from entering the existing sewer system. Such bulkhead shall be left in place until such time as removal is authorized by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
(D)??’Acceptance Test: All sanitary sewer systems shall be subjected to infiltration, air or exfiltration tests or a combination thereof in accordance with the following requirements prior to acceptance of the system by the Oakland County Department of Public Works and prior to removal of the bulkhead as required in paragraph (C) above.
All final acceptance tests shall be witnessed by the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
(1)??’Infiltration test:
(a)??’All sewers over 24-inch diameter shall be subjected to infiltration tests. All sewers of 24-inch diameter or smaller, where the groundwater level above the top of the sewer is over seven (7) feet, shall be subjected to an infiltration test.
(b) ??’Maximum allowable infiltration shall not exceed two hundred fifty (250) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per twenty-four (24) hours for the overall project. Maximum allowable infiltration shall not exceed five hundred (500) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per twenty-four (24) hours for any individual run between manholes.
(2)??’Air test or exfiltration test:
(a)??’All sewers of 24-inch diameter or less, where the groundwater level above the top of the sewer is seven (7) feet or less, shall be subjected to air tests or exfiltration tests.
(b)??’For exfiltration tests, the internal water level shall be equal to the external water level plus seven (7) feet as measured from the top of pipe. The allowable exfiltration rate shall be the same as that permitted from infiltration.
(c)??’The procedure for air testing of sewers shall be as follows: The sewer line shall be tested in increments between manholes. The line shall be cleaned and plugged at each manhole. Such plugs shall be designed to hold against the test pressure and shall provide an airtight seal. One of the plugs shall have an orifice through which air can be introduced into the sewer. An air supply line shall be connected to the orifice. The air supply line shall be fitted with suitable control valves and a pressure gauge for continually measuring the air pressure in the sewer. The pressure gauge shall have a minimum diameter of three and one-half (3 1/2) inches and a range of zero (0) to ten (10) pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG). The gauge shall have minimum divisions of 0.10 PSIG and an accuracy of ?0.04 PSIG.
(d)??’The sewer shall be pressurized to four (4) PSIG greater than the greatest back pressure caused by groundwater over the top of the sewer pipe. At least two (2) minutes shall be allowed for the air pressure to stabilize between three and one-half (3 1/2) and four (4) PSIG. If necessary, air shall be added to the sewer to maintain a pressure of three and one-half (3 1/2) PSIG or greater.
(e)??’After the stabilization period, the air supply control valve shall be closed so that no more air will enter the sewer. The sewer air pressure shall be noted and timing for the test begun. The test shall not begin if the air pressure is less than three and one-half (3 1/2) PSIG, or such other pressure as is necessary to compensate for ground water level.
(f)??’The time required for the air pressure to decrease one (1) PSIG during the test shall not be less than the time shown in the ‘Oakland County Department of Public Works Air Test Tables.?
(g)??’Manholes on sewers to be subjected to air tests shall be equipped with one-half-inch diameter galvanized capped pipe nipple extending through the manhole three (3) inches into the manhole wall and at an elevation equal to the top of the sewer pipe. Prior to the air test, the groundwater elevation shall be determined by blowing air through the pipe nipple to clear it and then connecting a clear plastic tube to the pipe nipple. The tube shall be suspended vertically in the manhole and the groundwater elevation determined by observing the water level in the tube. The air test pressure shall be adjusted to compensate for the maximum groundwater level above the top of the sewer pipe to be tested. After all tests are performed and the sewer is ready for final acceptance, the pipe nipple shall be plugged in an acceptable manner.
(h)??’If a sewer fails to pass any of the previously described tests, the contractor shall determine the location of the leaks, repair them and retest the sewer. The tests shall be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained.
(i)??’All visible leaks and cracks shall be repaired regardless of tests results.
(E)??’Stormwater and Groundwater Control:

The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of five (5) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district.

The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, June 15, 2009 immediately following the 8:00 p.m. public hearing for the Mill Lake Gardens Chloride SAD #2, to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required.

Section 2 of Ordinance
Article XXX of Zoning Ordinance No. 78 is amended to add the following Section 30.05 as follows:
Section 30.05 ? Conditional Rezoning
A. Intent.
It is the intent of this section to provide a process consistent with the provisions of Section 405 of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3405) by which an owner seeking a rezoning may voluntarily propose conditions regarding the use and/or development of land as part of the rezoning request.
B. Application and Offer of Conditions.
1. An owner of land may voluntarily offer in writing conditions relating to the use and/or development of land for which a rezoning is requested. The offer shall be contained in a proposed Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as described in this section, below. This offer may be made either at the time the application for rezoning is filed or may be made at a later time during the rezoning process; however, the offer shall in all events be considered by the Planning Commission prior to being acted upon by the Township Board.
2. The required application and process for considering a rezoning request with conditions shall be the same as that for considering rezoning requests made without any offer of conditions, except as modified by the requirements of this section. Prior to submission of a formal application, applicants are encouraged to request and attend pre-application meetings with the Township staff.
3. The owner’s offer of conditions may not authorize uses or development not permitted in the requested new zoning district.
4. The owner’s offer of conditions may include deviations from the schedule of regulations under this ordinance or any overlay district and the Township Board may approve such deviations as part of the offer of conditions, including, but not limited to, deviations in location, size and height of buildings, setbacks, and architectural features.
5. Any use or development proposed as part of an offer of condition that would require site plan approval under the terms of this ordinance may only be commenced if a site plan is made part of the offer of conditions and approval for such use or development is ultimately granted in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, if necessary.
6. The offer of conditions may be amended during the process of rezoning consideration provided that any amended or additional conditions are entered voluntarily by the owner. An owner may withdraw all or part of its offer of conditions any time prior to final rezoning action of the Township Board provided that if such withdrawal occurs subsequent to the Planning Commission’s public hearing on the original rezoning request, then the rezoning application may be referred to the Planning Commission for a new public hearing with appropriate notice and a new recommendation.
7. If the Township is in the process of proceeding with a conditional rezoning under this section, and the applicant has not voluntarily offered one or more of the conditions being considered, the applicant shall inform the Township Clerk in writing of such fact prior to any action being taken by the Township Board granting the conditional rezoning.
C. Planning Commission Review. The Planning Commission, after public hearing and consideration of the factors for rezoning set forth in Section 30.06 of this ordinance, may recommend approval or denial of the rezoning.
D. Township Board Review. After receipt of the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Township Board shall deliberate upon the requested rezoning and may approve or deny the conditional rezoning request. The Township Board’s deliberations shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Compatibility with the policies and uses designated for the land and area in the Township’s Master Plan, or deviation from the Master Plan if the proposed development is compatible with the overall development, goals, character and/or needs of the Township.
2. Compatibility, or reasonable assimilation through offered conditions, with other uses in the surrounding areas considering the area as a whole and the overall development, goals, character and/or needs of the Township.
3. Availability and adequacy of public services and facilities, and whether there is likely to be any adverse impact from a development or use allowed under the rezoning with Conditional Rezoning Agreement; and
4. Whether the development that would be approved shall advance the public interest, weighing the reasonably expected burdens likely to result from allowing the development against the reasonably expected benefits to be achieved by the development.
The Township Board may consider amendments to the proposed conditional rezoning application as offered by the applicant, and may deny or approve the conditional rezoning with or without offered amendments.
E. Approval.
1. If the Township Board finds a rezoning request and offer of conditions acceptable, the offered conditions shall be incorporated into a Conditional Rezoning Agreement. The Agreement shall be incorporated by attachment or otherwise as an inseparable part of the ordinance adopted by the Township Board to accomplish the requested rezoning.
2. The Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as initially submitted, or as may be modified during the course of the rezoning process, shall:
a. Be in a form recordable with the Register of Deeds for Oakland County or, in the alternative, be accompanied by a recordable affidavit or memorandum prepared and signed by the owner of the property giving notice of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement in a manner acceptable to the Township Board.
b. Contain a legal description of the land to which it pertains.
c. Contain a statement and acknowledgement that the terms and conditions of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall run with the land and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the property owner and the Township, and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and transferees;
d. A specification of all conditions proposed by the land owner to be applicable to the use and development of the land, including the following to the extent relevant:
1. The location, size, height or other measure for and/or of buildings, structures, improvements, set backs, landscaping, buffers, design, architecture and other features.
2. Permissible uses of the property, and a specification of maximum density or intensity of development and/or use, expressed in terms fashioned for the particular development and/or use, for example, and in no respect by way of limitation, units per acre, maximum usable floor area, hours of operation, and the like.
3. Preservation of natural resources and/or features.
4. Facilities to address any relevant traffic, storm water and water quality issues.
5. Provisions for maintenance of areas on the land, as relevant.
e. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, or an Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice thereof, may be recorded by the Township with the Register of Deeds of Oakland County.
f. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Township is not required to issue a certificate of occupancy until all conditions in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement have been met.
g. Contain the notarized signatures of all of the owners of the subject land preceded by a statement attesting to the fact that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as the same may have been modified during the rezoning process (if applicable) has been freely, voluntarily and knowledgeably offered by such owners, and agreed upon in its entirety. If the land owner is unable to sign this due to a lack of one or more conditions that are not voluntary, the land owner shall provide a notice to this effect with the Township Clerk before final action of the Township Board.
3. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the zoning map shall be amended to reflect the new zoning classification, along with a designation that the land was rezoned with a Conditional Rezoning Agreement. The Township Clerk shall maintain a listing of all lands rezoned with a Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
4. The approved Conditional Rezoning Agreement, or Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice thereof, shall be filed by the Township with the Register of Deeds of Oakland County. The Township Board shall have the authority to waive this requirement if it determines that, given the nature of the conditions and/or the timeframe in which the conditions are to be satisfied, the recording of such document would be of no material benefit to the Township or to subsequent owners of land.
5. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the use of the land so rezoned shall conform thereafter to all of the requirements regulating use and development within the new zoning district as modified by any more restrictive provisions contained in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
F. Compliance with Conditions.
1. Any person who establishes a development or commences a use upon land that has been rezoned with conditions shall continuously operate and maintain the development or use in compliance with all of the conditions set forth in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement. Any failure to comply with a condition contained within the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Ordinance and shall be punishable accordingly. Additionally, any such violations shall be deemed a nuisance per se and be subject to judicial abatement as provided by law.
2. No permit or approval shall be granted under the ordinance for any use or development that is contrary to an applicable Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
G. Time Period for Establishing Development or Use. Unless another time period is specified in the ordinance rezoning the subject land, the approved development and/or use of the land pursuant to building and other required permits must be commenced upon the land within six (6) months after the rezoning took effect, and thereafter proceed diligently to completion. This time limitation may, upon written request, be extended by the Township Board if:
1. It is determined to the Township Board’s reasonable satisfaction that there is a strong likelihood that the development and/or use will commence within the period of extension and proceed diligently thereafter to completion, and
2. The Township Board finds that there has not been a change in circumstance that would render the current zoning with Conditional Rezoning Agreement incompatible with other zones and uses in the surrounding area or otherwise inconsistent with sound zoning policy.
H. Termination. If approved development and/or use of the rezoned land does not occur within the timeframe specified under Subsection G above, or if the property owner makes a request in writing for termination of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement prior to making any improvements pursuant to the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, then the rezoning and the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall be deemed to be immediately terminated except in the Township’s discretion as to that part of the land, if any, that has been developed. In the event of such termination, no new development or use of the land shall be permitted until a new zoning classification is approved by a rezoning of the land. Upon such termination, the Planning Commission shall immediately initiate the process to rezone the land in whole or in part to its prior or other appropriate zoning classification. The procedure for considering and adopting this rezoning shall be the same as applied to all other rezoning requests. Once the rezoning has occurred, the Township shall, upon request of the land owner, record with the Register of Deeds for Oakland County a notice that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, except in the Township’s discretion as to that part of the land, if any, that has been developed, is no longer in effect.
I. Amendment of Conditions.
1. During the time period for commencement of an approved development or use specified pursuant to Subsection G or any extension granted by the Township Board, the Township shall not add to or alter the conditions in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
2. The Conditional Rezoning Agreement may be amended in the same manner as was prescribed for the original rezoning and Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
J. Township’s Right to Rezone. Nothing in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement or in the provisions of this section shall be deemed to prohibit the Township from rezoning all or any portion of land that is subject to a Conditional Rezoning Agreement to another zoning classification. Any rezoning shall be conducted in compliance with this ordinance and the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, MCL 125.3101, et seq.
L. Failure to Offer Conditions. The Township shall not require an owner to offer conditions as a requirement for rezoning. The lack of an offer of conditions shall not affect an owner’s right under this ordinance.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
All other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This Ordinance and the various parts, sections, subsections, provisions, sentences and clauses are severable. If any part of this Ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is declared that the remainder of the Ordinance shall not be affected.
SECTION 5 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in full in a newspaper of general circulation in the Charter Township of Orion, qualified under State law to publish legal notices, and shall become effective as provided by law.
SECTION 6 of Ordinance
This Ordinance is hereby declared to have been adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Charter Township of Orion at a meeting thereof duly called and held on the _____ day of ___________, 2009, and ordered to be given publication in the manner prescribed by law.

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
Section 1 of Ordinance
Article XXX of Zoning Ordinance No. 78 is amended to reorder Sections 30.00 through 30.14 as follows:
Section 30.00 ? Purpose
Section 30.01 ? Site Plan Review Procedures and Standards
Section 30.02 ? Special Land Use Procedures and Standards

Section 2 of Ordinance
Article XXX of Zoning Ordinance No. 78 is amended to add the following Section 30.05 as follows:
Section 30.05 ? Conditional Rezoning
A. Intent.
It is the intent of this section to provide a process consistent with the provisions of Section 405 of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3405) by which an owner seeking a rezoning may voluntarily propose conditions regarding the use and/or development of land as part of the rezoning request.
B. Application and Offer of Conditions.
1. An owner of land may voluntarily offer in writing conditions relating to the use and/or development of land for which a rezoning is requested. The offer shall be contained in a proposed Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as described in this section, below. This offer may be made either at the time the application for rezoning is filed or may be made at a later time during the rezoning process; however, the offer shall in all events be considered by the Planning Commission prior to being acted upon by the Township Board.
2. The required application and process for considering a rezoning request with conditions shall be the same as that for considering rezoning requests made without any offer of conditions, except as modified by the requirements of this section. Prior to submission of a formal application, applicants are encouraged to request and attend pre-application meetings with the Township staff.
3. The owner’s offer of conditions may not authorize uses or development not permitted in the requested new zoning district.
4. The owner’s offer of conditions may include deviations from the schedule of regulations under this ordinance or any overlay district and the Township Board may approve such deviations as part of the offer of conditions, including, but not limited to, deviations in location, size and height of buildings, setbacks, and architectural features.
5. Any use or development proposed as part of an offer of condition that would require site plan approval under the terms of this ordinance may only be commenced if a site plan is made part of the offer of conditions and approval for such use or development is ultimately granted in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, if necessary.
6. The offer of conditions may be amended during the process of rezoning consideration provided that any amended or additional conditions are entered voluntarily by the owner. An owner may withdraw all or part of its offer of conditions any time prior to final rezoning action of the Township Board provided that if such withdrawal occurs subsequent to the Planning Commission’s public hearing on the original rezoning request, then the rezoning application may be referred to the Planning Commission for a new public hearing with appropriate notice and a new recommendation.
7. If the Township is in the process of proceeding with a conditional rezoning under this section, and the applicant has not voluntarily offered one or more of the conditions being considered, the applicant shall inform the Township Clerk in writing of such fact prior to any action being taken by the Township Board granting the conditional rezoning.
C. Planning Commission Review. The Planning Commission, after public hearing and consideration of the factors for rezoning set forth in Section 30.06 of this ordinance, may recommend approval or denial of the rezoning.
D. Township Board Review. After receipt of the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Township Board shall deliberate upon the requested rezoning and may approve or deny the conditional rezoning request. The Township Board’s deliberations shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Compatibility with the policies and uses designated for the land and area in the Township’s Master Plan, or deviation from the Master Plan if the proposed development is compatible with the overall development, goals, character and/or needs of the Township.
2. Compatibility, or reasonable assimilation through offered conditions, with other uses in the surrounding areas considering the area as a whole and the overall development, goals, character and/or needs of the Township.
3. Availability and adequacy of public services and facilities, and whether there is likely to be any adverse impact from a development or use allowed under the rezoning with Conditional Rezoning Agreement; and
4. Whether the development that would be approved shall advance the public interest, weighing the reasonably expected burdens likely to result from allowing the development against the reasonably expected benefits to be achieved by the development.
The Township Board may consider amendments to the proposed conditional rezoning application as offered by the applicant, and may deny or approve the conditional rezoning with or without offered amendments.
E. Approval.
1. If the Township Board finds a rezoning request and offer of conditions acceptable, the offered conditions shall be incorporated into a Conditional Rezoning Agreement. The Agreement shall be incorporated by attachment or otherwise as an inseparable part of the ordinance adopted by the Township Board to accomplish the requested rezoning.
2. The Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as initially submitted, or as may be modified during the course of the rezoning process, shall:
a. Be in a form recordable with the Register of Deeds for Oakland County or, in the alternative, be accompanied by a recordable affidavit or memorandum prepared and signed by the owner of the property giving notice of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement in a manner acceptable to the Township Board.
b. Contain a legal description of the land to which it pertains.
c. Contain a statement and acknowledgement that the terms and conditions of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall run with the land and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the property owner and the Township, and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and transferees;
d. A specification of all conditions proposed by the land owner to be applicable to the use and development of the land, including the following to the extent relevant:
1. The location, size, height or other measure for and/or of buildings, structures, improvements, set backs, landscaping, buffers, design, architecture and other features.
2. Permissible uses of the property, and a specification of maximum density or intensity of development and/or use, expressed in terms fashioned for the particular development and/or use, for example, and in no respect by way of limitation, units per acre, maximum usable floor area, hours of operation, and the like.
3. Preservation of natural resources and/or features.
4. Facilities to address any relevant traffic, storm water and water quality issues.
5. Provisions for maintenance of areas on the land, as relevant.
e. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, or an Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice thereof, may be recorded by the Township with the Register of Deeds of Oakland County.
f. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Township is not required to issue a certificate of occupancy until all conditions in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement have been met.
g. Contain the notarized signatures of all of the owners of the subject land preceded by a statement attesting to the fact that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, as the same may have been modified during the rezoning process (if applicable) has been freely, voluntarily and knowledgeably offered by such owners, and agreed upon in its entirety. If the land owner is unable to sign this due to a lack of one or more conditions that are not voluntary, the land owner shall provide a notice to this effect with the Township Clerk before final action of the Township Board.
3. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the zoning map shall be amended to reflect the new zoning classification, along with a designation that the land was rezoned with a Conditional Rezoning Agreement. The Township Clerk shall maintain a listing of all lands rezoned with a Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
4. The approved Conditional Rezoning Agreement, or Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice thereof, shall be filed by the Township with the Register of Deeds of Oakland County. The Township Board shall have the authority to waive this requirement if it determines that, given the nature of the conditions and/or the timeframe in which the conditions are to be satisfied, the recording of such document would be of no material benefit to the Township or to subsequent owners of land.
5. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the use of the land so rezoned shall conform thereafter to all of the requirements regulating use and development within the new zoning district as modified by any more restrictive provisions contained in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
F. Compliance with Conditions.
1. Any person who establishes a development or commences a use upon land that has been rezoned with conditions shall continuously operate and maintain the development or use in compliance with all of the conditions set forth in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement. Any failure to comply with a condition contained within the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Ordinance and shall be punishable accordingly. Additionally, any such violations shall be deemed a nuisance per se and be subject to judicial abatement as provided by law.
2. No permit or approval shall be granted under the ordinance for any use or development that is contrary to an applicable Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
G. Time Period for Establishing Development or Use. Unless another time period is specified in the ordinance rezoning the subject land, the approved development and/or use of the land pursuant to building and other required permits must be commenced upon the land within six (6) months after the rezoning took effect, and thereafter proceed diligently to completion. This time limitation may, upon written request, be extended by the Township Board if:
1. It is determined to the Township Board’s reasonable satisfaction that there is a strong likelihood that the development and/or use will commence within the period of extension and proceed diligently thereafter to completion, and
2. The Township Board finds that there has not been a change in circumstance that would render the current zoning with Conditional Rezoning Agreement incompatible with other zones and uses in the surrounding area or otherwise inconsistent with sound zoning policy.
H. Termination. If approved development and/or use of the rezoned land does not occur within the timeframe specified under Subsection G above, or if the property owner makes a request in writing for termination of the Conditional Rezoning Agreement prior to making any improvements pursuant to the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, then the rezoning and the Conditional Rezoning Agreement shall be deemed to be immediately terminated except in the Township’s discretion as to that part of the land, if any, that has been developed. In the event of such termination, no new development or use of the land shall be permitted until a new zoning classification is approved by a rezoning of the land. Upon such termination, the Planning Commission shall immediately initiate the process to rezone the land in whole or in part to its prior or other appropriate zoning classification. The procedure for considering and adopting this rezoning shall be the same as applied to all other rezoning requests. Once the rezoning has occurred, the Township shall, upon request of the land owner, record with the Register of Deeds for Oakland County a notice that the Conditional Rezoning Agreement, except in the Township’s discretion as to that part of the land, if any, that has been developed, is no loner in effect.
I. Amendment of Conditions.
1. During the time period for commencement of an approved development or use specified pursuant to Subsection G or any extension granted by the Township Board, the Township shall not add to or alter the conditions in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
2. The Conditional Rezoning Agreement may be amended in the same manner as was prescribed for the original rezoning and Conditional Rezoning Agreement.
J. Township’s Right to Rezone. Nothing in the Conditional Rezoning Agreement or in the provisions of this section shall be deemed to prohibit the Township from rezoning all or any portion of land that is subject to a Conditional Rezoning Agreement to another zoning classification. Any rezoning shall be conducted in compliance with this ordinance and the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, MCL 125.3101, et seq.
L. Failure to Offer Conditions. The Township shall not require an owner to offer conditions as a requirement for rezoning. The lack of an offer of conditions shall not affect an owner’s right under this ordinance.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
All other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This ordinance and the various parts, sections, subsections, provisions, sentences and clauses are severable. If any part of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is declared that the remainder of the Ordinance shall not be affected.
SECTION 5 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in full in a newspaper of general circulation in the Charter Township of Orion, qualified under State law to publish legal notices, and shall become effective as provided by law.
SECTION 6 of Ordinance
This Ordinance is hereby declared to have been adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Charter Township of Orion at a meeting thereof duly called and held on the 6th day of July, 2009, and ordered to be given publication in the manner prescribed law.

If a defendant defaults in the payment of a civil fine, costs, or other damages or expenses, or installment as ordered by the district court, upon motion of the Township of Orion or upon its own motion, the court may require the defendant to show cause why the defendant should not be held in civil contempt and may issue a summons, order to show cause, or bench warrant of arrest for the defendant’s appearance.
2. If a corporation or an association is ordered to pay a civil fine, costs, or damages or expenses, the individuals authorized to make disbursements shall pay the fine, costs, or damages or expenses, and their failure to do so shall be civil contempt unless they make the showing required in this subsection.
3. Unless the defendant shows that the default was not attributable to an intentional refusal to obey the order of the court or to a failure on his or her part to make a good faith effort to obtain the funds required for payment, the court shall find that the default constitutes a civil contempt and may order the defendant committed until all or a specified part of the amount due is paid.
4. If it appears that the default in the payment of a fine, costs, or damages or expenses does not constitute civil contempt, the court may enter an order allowing the defendant additional time for payment, reducing the amount of payment or of each installment or revoking the fine, costs, or damages or expenses.
5. The term of imprisonment on civil contempt for nonpayment of a civil fine, costs, or damages or expenses shall be specified in the order of commitment and shall not exceed one (1) day for each Thirty Dollars ($30) due. A person committed for nonpayment of a civil fine, costs, or damages or expenses shall be given credit toward payment for each day of imprisonment and each day of detention in default of recognizance before judgment at the rate of Thirty Dollars ($30) per day.
6. A defendant committed to imprisonment for civil contempt for nonpayment of a civil fine, costs, or damages or expenses shall not be discharged from custody until one of the following occurs:
a. Defendant is credited with an amount due pursuant to Subsection G(5).
b. The amount due is collected through execution of process or otherwise.
c. The amount due is satisfied pursuant to a combination of Subdivisions G(6)(a) and (b).

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE 68, SECTION 18, TO ADD A PROVISION REQUIRING A WRITTEN AGREEMENT APPROVED BY THE TOWNSHIP BOARD IN ORDER TO PAY LATERAL BENEFIT AND CAPITAL CHARGES FOR CONNECTION TO THE WATER AND/OR SEWER SYSTEMS OVER TIME, AND TO ADD A PROVISION REQUIRING THE CONSENT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER BY THE DEBTOR IF AN ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN THE OWNER.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 18 ? Payment of Charges over Time
A. When lateral benefit and capital charges are required to be paid by the provisions of this Ordinance, and when the structures to which the water and sewer services are being provided were constructed prior to those utilities being constructed to serve that structure, an owner may elect to pay said charges in cash or pay them over a period of years determined by the Township Board based upon the circumstances. Such payment shall be made in equal annual installments, billed as part of the water and sewer bills rendered to the premises. If the time payment method is elected, a reasonable administrative fee may be charged, and interest at a rate established by the Township Board shall apply. When the time payment method is elected, the charges may be pre-paid at any time, with interest paid to the date of payment. All indebtedness represented by unpaid installments and accrued interest shall constitute a lien on the respective property. For all non-residential users, the terms contained in this subsection, along with any other terms agreed to between the Township Board and the user desiring connection to the water and/or sewer utility shall be contained in a written agreement. If the proposed user is not the owner of the structure to which water and/or sewer connection is sought, then the owner shall be required to be a party to such agreement. In the case that connection is required under emergency circumstances, meaning an immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of the proposed user, such connection may be approved administratively by the Director of the Department of Public Works, and the required written agreement shall be submitted to the Township Board for consideration at the earliest available meeting thereafter.
B. In cases where capital and lateral charges exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), these charges may be paid as agreed by the Board under a separate contract with the user at such terms and rate of interest as shall be agreeable to it. In the event the user and the Board cannot agree upon a separate contract for payment, then the provisions of Subsection A shall apply.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
That all other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
This Ordinance and the various parts, sections, subsections, provisions, sentences and clauses are severable. If any part of this Ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid, it is declared the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected hereby.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in full in a newspaper of general circulation in the Charter Township of Orion qualified under State Law to publish legal notices and shall become effective upon publication, as provided by law.
Copies of the proposed Ordinance are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, and may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE 68, SECTION 18, TO ADD A PROVISION REQUIRING A WRITTEN AGREEMENT APPROVED BY THE TOWNSHIP BOARD IN ORDER TO PAY LATERAL BENEFIT AND CAPITAL CHARGES FOR CONNECTION TO THE WATER AND/OR SEWER SYSTEMS OVER TIME, AND TO ADD A PROVISION REQUIRING THE CONSENT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER BY THE DEBTOR IF AN ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN THE OWNER.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 18 ? Payment of Charges over Time
A. When lateral benefit and capital charges are required to be paid by the provisions of this Ordinance, and when the structures to which the water and sewer services are being provided were constructed prior to those utilities being constructed to serve that structure, an owner may elect to pay said charges in cash or pay them over a period of years determined by the Township Board based upon the circumstances. Such payment shall be made in equal annual installments, billed as part of the water and sewer bills rendered to the premises. If the time payment method is elected, a reasonable administrative fee may be charged, and interest at a rate established by the Township Board shall apply. When the time payment method is elected, the charges may be pre-paid at any time, with interest paid to the date of payment. All indebtedness represented by unpaid installments and accrued interest shall constitute a lien on the respective property. For all non-residential users, the terms contained in this subsection, along with any other terms agreed to between the Township Board and the user desiring connection to the water and/or sewer utility shall be contained in a written agreement. If the proposed user is not the owner of the structure to which water and/or sewer connection is sought, then the owner shall be required to be a party to such agreement. In the case that connection is required under emergency circumstances, meaning an immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of the proposed user, such connection may be approved administratively by the Director of the Department of Public Works, and the required written agreement shall be submitted to the Township Board for consideration at the earliest available meeting thereafter.
B.In cases where capital and lateral charges exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), these charges may be paid as agreed by the Board under a separate contract with the user at such terms and rate of interest as shall be agreeable to it. In the event the user and the Board cannot agree upon a separate contract for payment, then the provisions of Subsection A shall apply.
SECTION 2 of Ordinance
That all other ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent or in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
SECTION 3 of Ordinance
This Ordinance and the various parts, sections, subsections, provisions, sentences and clauses are severable. If any part of this Ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid, it is declared the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected hereby.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in full in a newspaper of general circulation in the Charter Township of Orion qualified under State Law to publish legal notices and shall become effective upon publication, as provided by law.
Copies of the proposed Ordinance are on file in the office of the Township Clerk, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, and may be examined during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of ten (10) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, August 1, 2005 at 8:00 p.m., to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of ten (10) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, June 6, 2005 at 8:00 p.m., to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Township Planning and Zoning Act as amended, pursuant to all applicable provisions of law, Article XXXIII Gingellville Village Center Overlay District, is created by placing the hereinafter described language in the Ordinance as follows:
(A summary of the provisions of the ordinance follows.)
Section 33.00 ? Preamble
The Gingellville Village Center Overlay District encompasses the area as illustrated on the Charter Township of Orion Zoning Map. The purpose of the Gingellville Village Center Overlay District shall be to promote the development of the area in accordance with the Gingellville Village Planning and Design Guidelines in such a manner that will: maintain, preserve and enhance historic resources; allow for a mixed use concept of new development that advances the creation of a ‘Village?; arrive at a residential pattern which addresses both style and architecture appropriate for the area; and, develop a vehicular and pedestrian circulation pattern appropriate for a ‘Village? while recognizing current community and lifestyle issues.
Section 33.01 ? Principal Uses Permitted
All uses within the Gingellville Village Center Overlay District shall be restricted to those listed as either permitted principal uses and/or special uses in the underlying zoning district or those uses listed as approved as a separate Planned Unit Development.
A. Unless otherwise zoned, commercial uses shall be limited to low intensity retail, office or professional uses similar to the Restricted Business zoning districts (RB-1, RB-2, RB-3).
B. Unless otherwise zoned, ‘Big Box? or intensive commercial uses shall be restricted. Maximum floor area for commercial use shall be limited and shall be consistent with the Village character (generally not greater than five thousand (5,000) square feet per tenant).
C. Unless otherwise zoned, commercial or office uses shall not extend more than three hundred (300) feet beyond the future right-of-way of Baldwin Road. Parcel areas deeper than three hundred (300) feet shall be reserved for residential uses.

G. Commercial buildings shall not contain a continuous building frontage of more than two hundred fifty (250) feet without a break or separation of building.
H. For large scale mixed use projects over forty (40) acres in size, at least sixty percent (60%) of the development acreage shall be reserved for single family detached residential uses. Housing for senior citizens shall be excluded from this restriction.
I. Mixed use developments including residential and commercial uses are encouraged as part of a PUD. Single family residences are favored as the predominate land use in the mixed use developments and may be interspersed with a mixture of multi-family/attached housing or local business uses.
Section 33.02 ? Design Standards
In addition to complying with the design standards set forth in this section, all proposed development and construction within the Village Center shall comply with the ‘Gingellville Village Design Plan and Guidelines? that has been adopted by the Charter Township of Orion Planning Commission and Township Board.

LAND DIVISION & PRIVATE ROADS
COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DIVISION ACT
The Charter Township of Orion Board of Trustees, at the regular meeting of Monday, March 7, 2005, held at 7:00 p.m., at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Rd., Lake Orion, Michigan 48360, adopted an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 60, Land Division and Private Roads, as previously amended, for the Charter Township of Orion, Michigan; by adding new Section 1, amending existing Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, and re-numbering Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and portions thereof; and providing an effective date.
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF ORION ORDAINS:
(A summary of the provisions of the ordinance follows.)
SECTION 1 of Ordinance
Section 1- Purpose, Intent and Findings
A. It is the purpose of this Ordinance to carry out the provisions of the Land Division Act, Act 288 of the Public Acts of 1967, as amended, by providing regulations governing the division of land, and by providing regulations governing the use of parcels and tracts created by land division.
B. It is the further purpose of this Ordinance to provide regulations designed to minimize confusion among purchasers and potential purchasers of parcels and tracts of land created by the process of division, and to promote the orderly development of the Township.
C. It is the intent of this Ordinance to recognize that while the Township is required to comply with the Land Division Act, such compliance may result in the following:
1. Creation of parcels and tracts of record that may not be used as building sites or independent sites for residential use and/or other uses.
2. Creation of parcels and tracts which do not have adequate vehicular access as the Township has, as a matter of policy, consistently required in order to ensure access by police, fire and other emergency vehicles.
3. Providing incentives for the creation of new parcels intended to be building sites having driveways entering directly upon heavily traveled thoroughfares, rather than promoting new building sites which do not create new driveways onto thoroughfares, as implicitly found to be preferable under MCL 560.108(3)(a).
4. Requiring the Township to review and approve divisions based upon applications which do not require more than approximate dimensions of parcels, and thus precludes meaningful determinations on the compliance of proposed parcels with applicable law and ordinance.
D. Finally, it is found that the Land Division Act does not permit the following actions on the part of the Township:
1. To specify conditions applicable to a division of land which may be needed in order to protect the long and short term interest of the public health, safety and general welfare, including, without limitation, conditions designed for the: preservation of important natural resources; the avoidance of drainage, erosion, and other problems resulting therefrom; assurance that the establishment of divisions does not create other dangers or health and safety hazards due to steeply sloping topography; avoidance of parcels without adequate water and sanitary sewage disposal, and the like; assurance that there will be adequate distances between improvements on parcels and adjoining rights-of-way, adjoining buildings and other adjoining uses; and, the assurance that consumers in the market place are not financially harmed in connection with the purchase of parcels which may not be usable.
2. Requiring the preservation of open space and farmland, which the Land Division Act appears to promote; however, such appearance is illusory in actual practice, thus creating confusion and unfounded expectations.
E. Thus, it is found that there are provisions and authorizations in the Land Division Act with regard to the creation of divisions that may result in confusion and otherwise permit actions or results the Township Board believes should be minimized in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare.

Section 3 – Division and Partitioning of Land
Section 4 – Submittal Requirements
Section 5 – Approval Procedure
Section 6 – Private Road Requirements
Section 7 – Violation and Penalties

All proceedings pending and all rights and liabilities existing, acquired, or incurred at the time of this Ordinance takes effect, are saved and may be consummated according to the law when they were commenced.
SECTION 4 of Ordinance
This Ordinance and the various parts, sections, subsections, provisions, sentences and clauses are severable. If any part of this Ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid, it is declared the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected hereby.
SECTION 5 of Ordinance
This Ordinance shall be published in full in a newspaper of general circulation in the Charter Township of Orion qualified under State Law to publish legal notices and shall become effective upon publication, as provided by law.

AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF ELECTING DELEGATES TO COUNTY CONVENTION OF THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES
AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF VOTING ON THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS:
Oakland County Parks & Recreation Millage Renewal
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission was created in 1966 pursuant to Public Act 261 of 1965. Since 1967, there has been a separately dedicated parks and recreation millage. The current millage will expire on December 31, 2011.
Accordingly, shall the current millage of .2415 mills, for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving and acquiring parks and recreation areas and facilities in Oakland County, Michigan, be renewed for a period of ten (10) years from 2012 to 2021? The .2415 mills is equal to $0.2415 per $1,000.00 of taxable value. The millage, if renewed, will generate approximately $10,900,000 in 2012. Revenue from this millage will be disbursed only to the County of Oakland to be used solely for the purpose of funding the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission.
This renewal is a continuation of the previous increase of the constitutional tax limitation on the total amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed each year for all purposes upon taxable property in Oakland County, Michigan as set forth in Section 6, Article 9 of the Michigan Constitution.
Oakland Community College Millage Renewal Proposal
Shall Oakland Community College be authorized to levy taxes in an amount not to exceed $0.7811 per thousand dollars ($1,000) (0.7811 mills) of the taxable value of all taxable property in the College District for a period of ten (10) years, beginning with the July 1, 2012 tax levy, as a renewal of that portion of the millage authorization previously authorized by the electors to provide funds for all Community College purposes authorized by law? It is estimated the 0.7811 mills would raise approximately $38,502,796 when first levied in 2012.
COUNTY TREASURER’S STATEMENT AS REQUIRED
BY ACT NO. 62 OF THE PUBLIC ACTS OF 1933
AS AMENDED
I, Andrew A. Meisner, County Treasurer of the County of Oakland, State of Michigan, do hereby certify that according to the records in my office, as of July 2, 2010, the total of all voted increases in the tax rate limitation above the 18 mills established by Section 6 of Article IX of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 affecting taxable property in the Township of Orion, in said County, is as follows:

4. The Special Assessment District is proposed to be created for a period of fifteen (15) years or until a petition to discontinue the special assessment district is received with signatures that represent a majority of the properties in the district. Annual redeterminations of the cost of the improvement shall be necessary in the future, without a change in the boundaries in said Special Assessment District. The projected incremental increases are ten (10%) percent per year for the term of the improvement without additional public hearings.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on

The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at at[, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2525 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, 48360, on Monday, June 7, 2004, immediately following the 8:00 p.m. hearing on the Parkview Blvd. Chloride #1 SAD, to hear and consider any objections to the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.

The hearing for the purpose of confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to protest the special assessment, or may protest the special assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of whether or not you appear at the public hearing.

Appearance and protest in writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
