The Planning Commission meets the second Wednesday of every month at the Township Hall, 1280 N. Irish Road, at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise noted.

 

The Planning Commission consists of not less than five, nor more than nine members, who must be qualified township electors.  One member of the township board must be a planning commission member.  Members are appointed by the township supervisor with township board approval and may be removed by the supervisor after a hearing, with the approval of the township board.

The basic function of the planning commission is to form and adopt a plan for the township's land use development.  The plan should include maps, plats, charts, and descriptive and explanatory material.  In addition to private land use, it should consider the general location of major streets, water and sewer systems and other public utilities and structures, rehabilitation of blighted areas, location of public buildings, flood prevention, public recreation and other similar matters pertinent to governmental service.  The planning commission is required to review any plats or subdivisions and make a recommendation to the township board for action.
