The Silver Creek Township Board of Planning and Zoning on May 20, 2025 approved a rezoning request by Skies Limit LLC for PID 216-000-114100, changing the parcel from Agricultural to Agricultural Residential with a shoreland district overlay. Chairman Chris Klein moved the rezone and an amendment to the concept plan to disallow a planned PUD and to prohibit back-lot lake access; Mark Egge seconded. The rezone motion carried 9-0, with Sandy Forsman recorded as abstaining.
The board also approved construction of a township road beginning at Lot 1 and built to township road specifications. Chairman Klein moved the road approval; Egge seconded and the motion carried 9-0 with Forsman abstaining. The minutes note attached letters and petitions from residents expressing concerns about the project; the minutes do not summarize the content of those letters.
Both decisions were recorded in the meeting minutes as carried by recorded motions and tallies. No ordinance or state statute citations were recorded in the minutes and the board did not record additional conditions beyond the stated amendments to the concept plan and the shoreland overlay requirement. The meeting was later adjourned on a motion by Brandon Geyen, seconded by Jesse Dickinson.
