The More You Know: Volunteers

Hi there Harbor Springs! It is day two of our “The More You Know” series and we are tackling the second reason the letter we got this weekend said we should vote yes. They say “The current zoning plan was not developed by Harbor Springs residents . . .”

The nine volunteer members of our planning commission who discussed and refined the new zoning code at more than 30 public meetings over the last two years would likely disagree that they didn’t develop it.

Looking at recordings of past meetings, there was a ton of public input and very spirited discussion over months. Both the planning commission and city council adjusted the plan during its development and approval stages.

Let’s give our neighbors a bit more credit for the time, effort and expertise they brought to the work of the committee. Gotta say, no need to repeal the new zoning code for this one.

Special thanks to our friends and neighbors on the planning commission who put in hours of their own time to help us all!
