Height restriction

I had mentioned the 35' height restriction in class. Here's where I got the 35' restriction: http://www.windsortwp.com/wp-content/uploads/Ordinances/WindsorTownshipZoningOrdinance2012.pdf The 40' is documented here: https://library.municode.com/mi/windsor_charter_township,_(eaton_co.)/codes/zoning?nodeId=PT110_110.000ZOORORNO25_ARTX_110.1000DE_110.1002DE If any of your buildings are to be greater than 40' in height, the owner will need to apply for a variance.  This document provides general information but hopefully this helps to explain the process: https://www.acgov.org/cda/planning/ordinance/documents/Variance.pdf . From what I've seen by serving on the Meridian Township Environmental Commission, this is accurate.  The code document I gave you should also help: see section 110.402, 110.404.  You can also try to see if there are other 2+ story buildings in Windsor Township.  From my experience, if the township has...

Water supply and demand  May need a    Right of Way permit for connection  Water main pipe sizing Regulatory codes for pipe sizing – BWL or Eaton County may have required sizes o    Plumbing code / local zoning ordinances o    Make sure to use Hazen-Williams equation (not Manning’s equation) o    Make sure that there are no obstructions between the buildings and fire hydrants. Make sure fire trucks can easily access the hydrants.  Sanitary sewer size: to be larger than water main connection size (gravity fed) o    Typically 8-in sewer service line for maintenance purposes Stormwater treatment  Soil types and composition for infiltration o     Infiltration – BMP in Michigan and becoming more common in Michigan: See this document for details o     Other common BMPs: forebay, rain garden, bioretention system (Use the LID Manual for Michigan as a guide o     ...

Update: Feb 12, 2024

Greetings, I thought I would do another update since we do not have class this Tuesday. I heard through the grapevine that there were some concerns/frustration/thoughts among the ENE students. I thought I would try to address them.  I think much of the challenge is that the ENE roles depend greatly on the other specialty areas.  Here's an example - I believe the transportation specialists are planning to put the truck entrance on N. Canal Road just south of the "restricted construction" area in the north west corner of the site.  However, this puts the entrance much closer to the area zoned as residential and thus has the potential to compromise the health, safety, and well-being of the public.  I would argue that the transportation specialists should be working with the ENEs to find a location that is suitable and protective of the public. Jack Cooper Transport is located across the street from the CS site on Billwood Highway and the county has already agre...
