Planning commission supports Wilson Township rezoning for 10‑acre Day Road parcel
Summary
The Charlevoix County Planning Commission voted to support Wilson Township’s recommendation to rezone a 10‑acre parcel at 3225 Day Rd. from Resource Development Agricultural (RDA) to Rural Residential‑1 (RR‑1); staff said the change is consistent with the Township Master Plan and the health department will determine septic/perc suitability.
The Charlevoix County Planning Commission on Sept. 11 voted to support Wilson Township’s recommendation to rezone a 10‑acre parcel at 3225 Day Rd. (tax ID 15‑015‑004‑007‑30) from Resource Development Agricultural (RDA) to Rural Residential‑1 (RR‑1).
Kiersten Stark, Charlevoix County planning director, reviewed the staff report comparing allowed uses and dimensional requirements in the current and proposed districts, the parcel’s soils and surrounding land uses, and the Township Planning Commission’s recommendation. Stark said the proposed rezoning is consistent with the township’s future land use map.
Commissioner Marshal Bakker moved to support the township planning commission’s recommendation; Pam Grassmick seconded. Commissioners discussed whether the lot would “perc”; Sherm Chamberlain and Marshal Bakker noted that septic suitability is determined by the health department through a permitting process, not by the zoning decision. The motion passed by voice vote with all present in favor.
The parcel details in the record: 10 acres, 3225 Day Rd., tax parcel 15‑015‑004‑007‑30. Kiersten Stark noted no county-level objection to the rezoning; local health and permitting processes will address on‑site septic and other site‑specific conditions.
Next steps: the rezoning will proceed through Wilson Township and its permitting and health department reviews. The county’s action was a recommendation of support rather than a county‑level zoning change.
