INSTRUCTIONS

·         All items in this list must be included in the drawing unless exempted by ordinance or specifically noted as not included.  Incomplete submissions may not be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review.  All features of the plan must conform to the Union Township Zoning Ordinance 1991-5 and other state and local ordinances and laws as applicable.

·         To expedite this process you should make Storm Water Management and Road Permit Applications as soon as possible, and submit a copy of the site plan to the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department.  Site plans received prior to these outside approvals may be reviewed as Preliminary Site Plan Reviews and may require a Final Site Plan Review submission after receiving outside agency approvals.  You may elect to receive a Preliminary Review by the Planning Commission prior to other submittals.  Contact the appropriate agency for their submission requirements and any required forms.

·         Special Use Permits:  Uses requiring a Special Use Permit have both a special use permit approval process and a site plan review.  The fee* for a Special Use Permit is in addition to the site plan review fee*.  This form and a Special Use Permit Application must accompany application for a Special Use Permit.  The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the Charter Township of Union Board who has approval authority, thus requiring two meetings, one of the commission and one of the board.  If desired, the applicant may elect to have the Public hearing with a preliminary plan showing sufficient detail to determine the impact on the surrounding properties, and address other issues of concern, and then proceed to final Site Plan Review.  In this approach the commission will make its finding subject to final site plan approval at the first meeting, and the applicant will return with a detailed drawing meeting all the elements of site plan review, including submission to outside agencies.

·         SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Ten copies of the site plan and this completed check list must be submitted no less than 14 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting.  The Planning Commission meets at 7:00 PM on the third Wednesday of each month.  A  Site Plan Review fee* must accompany each submission.  You will not receive any notification prior to your scheduled meeting; it is your responsibility to show up at the meeting.  If your are uncertain, call the Zoning administrator at (989) 772 4600 ext 41

·         Applicants may submit a single copy of the plan and check list prior to the submission deadline to the zoning administrator for review and comment.

·         Land Owner (or his / her agent) is responsible to apply for all permits, including Building, Grading and Zoning permit, Sign Permit, Water and Sewer, and Land Divisions (if applicable) AFTER Planning Commission review and approval.  The proposed use shall be constructed per the submitted plan including any conditions of approval.  Minor revisions maybe approved by the zoning administrator.  Consult with the township before implementing any changes to the approved site plan.
