Resident Urges Inclusion of Low-Frequency Noise Standards in Data Center Ordinance
A resident, Bob Kadonado, raised concerns about the data center ordinance, specifically the measurement of noise pollution. He suggested that the ordinance should include measurements for both DBA and DBC (or DBZ) scales to account for low-frequency effects, arguing that the current DBA scale is insufficient and that data center operators may not disclose low-frequency impacts unless required. The board acknowledged the suggestion as a good one, noting that data center ordinances are evolving and the township may amend its own in the future.
Antrim Township Considers Zoning Changes to Address Development Growth and Infrastructure
The board discussed proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance, focusing on increasing lot sizes and adjusting setbacks in residential districts (A, R1, R2) to better align with the township's rural character and manage development growth. These changes aim to address infrastructure strain and maintain the community's roots, with specific proposals including increased minimum lot sizes, wider lot widths, and altered front, side, and rear setbacks. The height limit for townhouses would also be reduced. Additionally, discussions covered increasing minimum road widths, limiting townhomes in a row, and applying density factors to multi-family units. The board motioned to authorize staff to prepare an ordinance for advertisement and review.
Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments Discussed to Preserve Rural Character
The board discussed proposed ordinance changes, including modifications to zoning regulations for A, R1, R2, and townhouse districts. These changes, recommended by the planning commission, focus on increasing lot sizes, adjusting setbacks, and potentially reducing building heights to better reflect the rural character of the area and manage infrastructure strain. The board voted to authorize staff to prepare the ordinance for advertisement and review.
Township to Move Excess General Fund Investments from RBC to F&M Trust
The board motioned to instruct the treasurer to move excess funds from the general fund (account 01-108-11), totaling approximately $6 million as of May, from RBC investments to F&M Trust. This move is to explore F&M Trust's wealth management services, as recommended by the finance committee, while acknowledging RBC's previous service. The rationale includes exploring local financial partnerships and F&M's attractive fee structure.
Public Works Updates on Road Improvements, Park Developments, and Utility Operations
The Public Works department provided an update on various projects, including double chipping on several roads, roadside mowing, pavilion roof repair at Eno Brown Memorial Park, and cleaning of culvert and storm water pipes. They also noted the assistance of a vac truck and praised Eric Maynard's role as road liaison. The water department is working on well capacity optimization and dealing with delays for a new booster pump PLC. Sewer operations are ongoing with fencing installation at pump station 14 and manhole repair. The park department reported Congressman Joyce's visit to Eno Brown Park, the completion of phase one, and the submission of an application to place the park on the National Historic Registry. Youth from Jessica's Kids are assisting with park work.
