The Peninsula Township Board has scheduled a public hearing on “The 81” Development, the old Boursaw farm which borders Boursaw Road and Smokey Hollow Road, for the regular meeting of the Township Board on May 10, 2016. Read the official notice below.
In August of 2015, the Peninsula Township Board approved the development (read more here) with several conditions. This resulted in the organization of the nonprofit “Save the Outstanding Peninsula,” which serves to oppose non-conforming development and preserve the natural beauty of the Old Mission Peninsula.

The August decision by the Peninsula Township Board was challenged in court by the nonprofit, and on Dec. 21, 2015, the two parties went before Judge Philip Rogers of the 13th Circuit Court in Grand Traverse County.
In January, Judge Rogers ruled against the developer on proper soil erosion studies and emergency fire road. Another public hearing was held on March 15, where discussion took place and more information was requested. Here’s the official notice of the upcoming public hearing.
