In My Opinion AuTrain Needs A Plan Now

Michigan Law dictates, ”The zoning ordinance shall be based on a PLAN.” You don’t need a degree in law to understand that statement. AuTrain Township has no plan. DUH! The Michigan Township Association advises that with no plan, the zoning commission should treat the zoning ordinance as the plan. Under the misguidance of chairman George Lucier, AuTrain’s Zoning Commission is ignoring the law, trying to radically change AuTrain’s Zoning Ordinance. The sad part is that the benefactor of this error is Tru$tee Dennis Gramm. In my opinion corruption has crept from Zoning Administrator Rogers not enforcing the laws that Gramm is breaking to the Zoning Commission Chairman Lucier trying to change the law to suit Gramm. It looks like there might be a plan all right, but it is an unwritten agreement between Gramm, Rogers and Lucier. We need a written plan that is for all of AuTrain. We need this plan now. We need a plan that addresses the development of commerce, public safety, family neighborhoods, and the preservation of our precious environment. We need to coordinate these facets of our community, so AuTrain Township can develop in an orderly fashion. Are you a resort owner, contractor, educator, landowner, retail business owner, maybe provide a service in the AuTrain community? Your input is essential. We need a plan created with a diversified perspective, not the hidden agenda of a few public officials. If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. AuTrain has no plan; lets change that right now.
