Rose Township Hall, 204 Franklin Street, Holly, Michigan 48442 ROSE TOWNSHIP PROJECT PROPOSAL NOVEMBER 10, 1999 OAKLAND COUNTY'S ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND PROGRAM Project Introduction: As part of the recent development of the Rose Township Master Plan the #1 Community Land Use Concern was "protect ground water and surface water" (attachment #1). The natural resource conservation policy which was adopted as part of the Master Land Use Plan (attachment #2) includes a wetland protection policy which identifies preservation of wetlands in their natural state. Four drainage policies were adopted as part of the Master Plan including "Protection of slopes, woodlands, and wetlands within the watershed and proper management of land use and development are essential to maintaining the quantity and quality of storm drainage (see attachment #3). Three groundwater protection and recharge policies were also adopted as part of the Natural Resource Conservation Policy contained within the Township Master Land Use Plan. Furthermore, Rose Township's participation in the Shiawassee and Huron Headwaters Resource Preservation Project and Rattalee Lake Wetland Complex Preservation Project have (through site ecological summaries) provided valuable information on the nature of Rose Township's rich environmental heritage. Each of these projects contain recommendations which merit serious consideration for application in Rose Township. Since one of the environmental objectives of the Rose Township Master Plan is to "Implement the findings of the Huron-Shiawassee Headwaters Project where practical." the following proposal will be instrumental in the implementation of Rose Township's adopted Master Land Use Plan. Project Description: The proposed project will establish the background information, inventory, mapping and delineation as well as regulatory techniques and procedures to minimize undesirable effects of drainage within the Rose Township and provide for proposed drainageway alterations and implementation of best management techniques to meet identified Township concerns. Minimization of necessary public infrastructure expenses to address cumulative unplanned consequences of altered drainageways will be a further objective. The project seeks to provide for environmental remediation or improvements relating to drainage systems and /or water pollution control/groundwater protection measures. Project Duration: January 1, 2000 -September 30, 2004 Budget: Source: - Oakland County Infrastructure Fund (estimate not to exceed $21,000 per year) Project Details: Project will be managed by Township Planner in cooperation with the Rose Township Planning Commission. Tasks to include - 1. research and review applicable techniques 2. develop property base/'topography/drainage inventory and mapping 3. develop drainage ordinance draft 4. develop site plan review procedures 5. establish development ordinance provisions 6. identify resource overlay zoning district boundaries 7. review and establish best management practices 8. identification of funding mechanism for field review of required measures 9. develop ordinance implementation procedures 10. creation of environmental (drainage/water quality/groundwater protection) quality parameters 11. undertake watershed planning to minimize degradation of drainage system and groundwater/surface water systems 12. develop a measurement system using imperviousness as an indicator of i impacts of land development/alteration on aquatic systems Summary: The Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure Fund Program represents a unique no-cost opportunity for a limited time to plan for the minimization of costly public infrastructure installation, maintenance and rehabilitation in Rose Township by anticipating the cumulative impact of land development patterns. Furthermore, the opportuntiy to implement the objectives and policies of the adopted Rose Township Master Plan is substantial due to this source of funding. Consequently, and based upon the endorsement of the Rose Township Planning Commission the Township Board is requested to adopt the sample resolution as recommended by the Oakland County Fiscal Services Division and attached hereto (attachment #4) Respectfully submitted, - Rand Bowman, Township Planner TOP TWENTY-FIVE PRIORITIZED LAND USE CONCERNS OF ROSE TOWNSHIP 1. protect ground water and surface water 2. keep the township rural 3. preservation of open space 4. keep commercial uses on main thoroughfares 5. cluster housing if we can guarantee the balance stays open 6. over regulation of agricultural land 7. interpretation of ordinances needs to be clarified and coordinated with zoning and master plan with a consistency of enforcement 8. loss of agricultural land 9. require larger lot sizes around lakes 10. protect wildlife habitat 11. keep lots as large as possible 12. rewrite ordinances (e.g. road ordinances) 13. loss of wood lots 14. keep natural areas 15. keep larger agricultural lots -- don't break parcels too small 16. don't allow lots smaller than 2.5 acres 17. minimize zoning conflicts (e.g. areas surrounded by R-1 zoning should also be zoned R-1) 18. don't split zone single parcels 19. discourage the splitting of large parcels into smaller ones 20. need for more zoning district designations 21. reduce amount of residential zoning 22. keep larger lot sizes -- 10 acre minimum 23. keep roads gravel 24. minimize commercial and industrial development 25. keep land use consistent with bordering townships NOTE: Rankings are determined based upon frequency and intensity of responses. Number 1 is the greatest concern on the list. 52 VII. POLICIES Policy A: Natural Resource Conservation Policy 1. Wetlands The protection of wetlands is essential in order to preserve water quality, stabilize stormwater runoff, recharge groundwater and provide fish and wildlife habitat. The highest priority is for the preservation of wetlands in their natural state. While the actual boundaries and the significance of specific wetland areas must be determined at the time of development review, all aspects of wetland protection should be considered in reviewing proposed development within and in the vicinity of wetland areas including a. the wetland area itself, b. the adjacent fringe or buffer area, c. and the remainder of the watersheds which drain into and out of the wetland area beyond the fringe or buffer area. 2. Woodlands a. The conservation of woodlands is necessary to protect water and soil quality, increase air quality, buffer noise pollution, moderate local climate and storm hazards, preserve wildlife habitats, and preserve aesthetic values and community beauty. b. Development which occurs in and around wooded areas should be planned, constructed, and maintained so that existing healthy trees and native vegetation are preserved to the extent possible. The objective should be to preserve native trees rather than rely on removal and subsequent replanting. The diversity of woodland areas should be protected to ensure long-term stability, and the variety of species preserved. 3. Slopes a. The existing land form should be made a part of land use planning and design. The primary objective should be preservation of the natural contours rather than alteration through mass grading. Careful planning of slopes is necessary in order to reduce erosion, maintain stability, and 2 61 control amounts and velocities of runoff. Master plan and zoning district designations along with special land use conditions and site plan review should be used to minimize potential impact on natural contours. 4. Groundwater Protection and Recharge a. Groundwater recharge areas restore water levels in underground storage areas and supply water to lakes, rivers and streams. Due to the reliance on individual wells, retention and protection of groundwater resources is important to both Rose Township and surrounding areas. Since recharge areas extend beyond Rose Township boundaries, County and regional cooperation will be needed to effectively manage a resource. b. Recharge areas are best kept as open space, or low density uses, to retain as much of the permeable surface as possible. Land grading should be controlled to retain the water holding characteristics of the land. Vegetation essential to the water holding characteristics should be preserved, or where necessary enhanced as part of a development program. c. Recharge areas should be protected from pollution by controlling all uses which discharge wastes into the hydrogeologic cycle. Especially critical for monitoring are uses which handle hazardous materials which might leak or spill. 5. Drainage a. Protection of slopes, woodlands, and wetlands within the watershed and proper management of land use and development are essential to maintaining the quantity and quality of storm drainage. b. Natural vegetation and topographical features along stream corridors and waterways should be preserved. Uses should be restricted to those which offer no danger of topographical disturbance to the corridor, degradation of water quality, increased runoff, sedimentation, or stream channel alteration. c. Surface water runoff should not exceed the rate which occurs under existing, undeveloped conditions. Control of 3 62 SUPERVISOR C.-nester W. Koop (810) 750-5232 CLERK Alison K.
