Commission discusses curb-and-gutter requirements for new developments
Summary
Commissioners discussed whether to require curb and gutter or valley gutter in new developments, including which zoning districts it might apply to and whether a storm sewer obviates the need; the commission asked PCI to survey ordinances in other townships.
The Dorr Township Planning Commission took up a continuation of prior discussion on whether to require curb and gutter (or valley gutter) for new developments and, if so, in which districts such a requirement should apply. Commissioners asked whether a curb requirement should remain when storm sewer is included in a development and debated whether the township should pursue adopting standards or leave the issue unchanged.
A consensus emerged to ask PCI to research other townships and report back on existing ordinances that address curb and gutter. During public comment, resident Pat Champion urged the commission to prefer curb or valley gutter to avoid exposed ditches and unkempt entrances, noting an unfinished final paperwork situation in the Pine Hills development that contributed to the problem.
