Evert Evertsen, Hartland Township Supervisor: Remarks to the 2030 Plan Commission

Why you should vote down the 2030 Plan you worked so hard at.

The 2030 Plan Commission lost its credibility when it permitted the open use of a Plat book in the planning discussion process. Who owns land should not influence how any government plans Land use but it clearly did time after time.

The 2030 Plan Commission lost its credibility when comments by commission members indicated they worked for clients in the county through the use of the term “my clients” during discussion.

The 2030 Plan Commission lost its credibility when the citizens adamantly requested the protection of our agriculture and our water supply but the commission like a locomotive without an engineer continued down the track of: --WE MUST ACCOMMODATE ANOTHER 222,000 PEOPLE -- WE MUST PLAN WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF THE COUNTY FOR INDUSTRY! Commission members stated they had no choice but to ignore constraints of water and or agriculture because they had to meet development requirements for 222,000 more people.

The 2030 Plan Commission lost its credibility when time after time the submitted plans of municipalities and townships were ignored if it did not meet the requirements of the previously described locomotive.

To resolve this I request you vote no on this plan.
