The town of Harbor Springs voters repealed Ordinance #439 and these decisions will give our town back the right to Decide for ourselves as a community our future within the city.
It’s time now to organize the building a new zoning code that reflects the Master Plan, the Community Surveys and to build new legitimate surveys that will ask the tough questions of the community to provide answers in deciding the towns future.
Ask yourself the question – how do you imagine the City for your children and grandchildren?
Now with the November vote, the repeal of a zoning code behind us and to disengage from certification by the Redevelopment Ready Community (RRC)/Michigan Economic Development Corporation. (MEDC)- the Planning Commission Chairman and commission members need to explain to the community members the premise of each of the zoning changes that will be brought forward at the upcoming meetings. Please go to the City of Harbor Springs website to find the calendars, agenda’s and zoning schedules.
Are the reasons for zoning changes to build better living conditions, weather resiliency, infrastructure protections, visitors opinions, tourist attractions, downtown businesses expansions for more money into pockets or for reasons the property owners are asking the zoning administer to attend to? Are these ideas for envisioning the future? Are they products of the people ? Changing dynamics or ?
A sensible discussion might lead with ” the zoning reforms were based on our findings…”.

You should share a power outage map of all customers served by HS Electric. That will better show scope of problem and progress.
Let’s always keep the lights on!
Petoskey News covered the request from the City Manager to the City Council for moving ahead a ten million dollar bond but City Hall did not provide very much education for the community prior to the 45 day countdown. The “Letter” was published in the Harbor Light last Wednesday.
“After sharing the letter ( in the newspaper) , anyone opposed to the idea of bonding has 45 days to petition. A total of 10% of voter signatures need to be collected to allow the issue to go to a vote.” Petoskey News Review

Do you have a better idea to fund the necessary upgrade?
Hi Jody - that’s a great question and I think we should ask that question when City Hall educates - there are only two weeks left to do so - seems important !
