Two meetings are scheduled for the Planning Commission Committee on Master Plan Implementation and Zoning Rewrite. The meetings will take place at the Peninsula Township Hall and center on:
- Nov. 9, 2016, 6 p.m. – Non Agriculture Goals and Actions
- Nov. 17, 2016, 2 p.m. – Agriculture Goals and Actions
The first committee meeting was held on Oct. 3, 2016. The bulk of the round-table discussion was to begin the task of going through the Master Plan “Goals and Actions,” discussing the question of “What needs to be done and by whom to accomplish the Actions in the Master Plan.” We discussed the Actions under these Areas of Concern:

- Background Memo for these meetings (part of the packet for the first meeting)
- Report of Oct. 3, 2016 meeting (dated Oct. 10, 2016)
- Minutes of the Oct. 3, 2016 meeting

At the Oct. 3 committee meeting, which was well attended, we touched on about one-quarter of the Actions. The second meeting on Nov. 9 will continue with the Non-Ag Actions. Isaiah Wunsch (my Co-Chair) will be away for that meeting, but will help lead the third meeting on November 17 on Ag items.
Both meetings will continue the round-table format and have been scheduled at different times of the day to allow more to attend at least one of these meetings. We welcome all who might wish to attend.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
