Barry County board adopts resolution for partial termination of farmland development rights under PA 116
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted Resolution #25‑28 to partially terminate a PA 116 farmland development rights agreement for a parcel in Barry County, following a Planning Commission recommendation and public comment urging favorable consideration.
The Barry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Oct. 14 to adopt Resolution #25‑28 authorizing a partial termination of a Farmland Development Rights Agreement (PA 116) for parcel PP #08‑09‑033‑002‑00.
Jeff Keesler presented the Planning Commission’s recommendation, and Bruce Campbell moved adoption of the resolution with support from David Hatfield. The Board approved the resolution by an 8–0 vote.
During the public comment period prior to the agenda item, Greg Moore of Consumers Energy asked the Board for favorable consideration of agenda item 12h and provided an update on the Solar Farm Project; Moore also distributed a community fundraiser invitation. The minutes record Moore’s request but do not indicate that Consumers Energy is a party to the PA 116 petition.
The resolution implements the Planning Commission’s recommendation to permit a partial termination of the farmland development rights agreement identified as #08‑43627‑123125. The minutes do not specify the terminating party’s subsequent intended use for the parcel or any conditions attached to the termination; those details were not in the record and are therefore not reported here.
The Board’s action was recorded as "moved by Campbell and supported by Hatfield" and carried unanimously. The Planning Commission recommended the change, and County staff presented the item for Board action. The Board will receive other land‑use and facility updates in future meetings.
