the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority to consider locating a metropolitan park in
Oakland County; and

Townships, just south of the intersection of 1-75 and M-275; and
WHEREAS the Authority appeared at a public hearing hosted by the Oakland County
Planning Commission on February 14, 1973 and presented their proposal to some 150 local
residents and interested people; and

on February 28, 1973 endorsing the proposed park;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Planning and Zoning
Committee concurs in and recommends to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners that the
