Template Ordinances & Reports

The Lakes to Land website:   www.lakestoland.org   continues to be active and changing.

You will find new Reports and Sample Ordinances there.  Most of the Master Plans are complete and have been adopted, and the Initiative is moving into zoning directly, starting with zoning assessment and recommendation.

Have a fine day!

ALSO!  In the Board of Commissioner minutes, it was written that Frankfort Fire Dept. won't be "taking over Joyfield township".  It's been heard in another venue that Joyfield township is "too Far" to go.

If that's the case, watch for a proposal for a fire millage. It was understood the township board was going to switch fire contracts from Benzonia Twp to the City of Frankfort to save money.

They are looking for money to put toward zoning.  Zoning costs money to-  write, review, and implement.
