IN RE: SEMCOG SMALL AREA FORECAST RECOMMENDATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, since November 1975, the Southeast Michigan Council of Government's
has embarked upon a program to developa:new set of Small Area Forecasts for the
Seven County Southeast Michigan region; and
WHEREAS, the Southeast Michigan County of Governments in 1978 produced six
alternative forecasts based upon these public policies and regional forecasts; and
WHEREAS, zoning decisions made by local communities influence land use
development and limit the number of households that can reside in the community; and
WHEREAS, major public investments in facilities such as schools, sewers, water,
transportation networks and parks are required to service regional population; and
WHEREAS, the alternative that will be chosen will be used to review A-95
grant application which address sewer construction, transportation planning,
water quality management, recreation planning, housing programs, criminal justice
and other regional programs; and
WHEREAS, the six alternatives, in which Local Plans are modified by
various policy considerations, have been examined and analyzed to identify the
alternative and policy considerations which best reflect the needs of the
residents of Oakland County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
recommends that Alternative #6, Local Plans Modified by Adopted SEMCOG Policy
Recommendations, be selected for further study and modifications, and that
SEMCOG staff is directed to:
Correct the known base data errors, including M-275, to reflect
currently adopted Council Transportation policies, and other
base data errors which may be identified.
Use the small area forecast #6 as rerun, on an interim basis,
in all Council planning and grant review processes, and commence
work on drafting amendments to the Council's adopted policy
recommendations in accordance with the attached policy statements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board Commissioners recommends
that Alternative #6, Local Plans Modified by Adopted SEMCOG Policy Recommendations,
be selected for further pursuance of the policy directions, with the following
modifications and conditions;
1. As reasonable, incorporate a more extensive housing rehabilitation
element providing for rehabilitation and reoccupancy when potential
small area vacancy rates would exceed five percent (5%), working in
conjunction with technicians throughout the region this task should be
completed by January 1, 1980.
2. Modify and reduce the adopted Sewer Service Area Map to an area which
more appropriately serves the newly adopted regional population and
household control totals and remedy major pollution problem areas
requiring sewer solutions.
The amended sewer, water and storm drainage plan adopted by the
General Assembly in March 1975 states as an objective, "By 1990
no more than 10 percent excess household capacity should be provided
for by the regional sewerage system. The objective represents a more
efficient and economical use of sewerage facilities, both those presently
existing and proposed." Through these modifications, the sewer service
area map would be brought into closer conformance with the adopted
objective. In carrying out the work in conjunction with the technical
working group, the Council will strive to achieve the stated maximum
excess of 10%, including the removal of all additional sewers in areas
identified as fragile resource lands, except to correct pollution
problems. This activity should be completed by January of 1980.
3. Incorporate stronger agriculture/natural resource elements more
consistent with the Preservation/Conservation Alternative.
4. SEMCOG staff shall review the policy implication of policy alternative
#6 and report to CORD what actions need to be taken at the local, regional
and state level to implement the policy.
5. Final acceptance of proposed modifications to SEMCOG plans (such as the
sewer service map, land use plan, etc.) shall only occur after the normal
review and comment process by local units of governments.
6. It is also understood that when the results of the 1980 census become
available, the new data shall be incorporated into the process and the
population distribution equations shall be recalibrated to reflect the new
data. The model shall be run and tested with this new information and a new
set of forecasts shall be produced for the region. Concurrent with this work,
regional, economic and demographic trends shall be investigated and the
regional control total of population examined to determine whether it
should be modified from the presently adopted regional control total
of 5.2 million people.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
recommends that the rerun of Alternative #6 as modified by the first five
statements shall take place no later than June 30, 1980,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
encourages the use of these small area forecasts by others in their planning activities.
The Planning and Building Committee by Richard R. Wilcox, Chairperson,
moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
