TO: GROW TOWNSffIP BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: GROW TOWNSHIP ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION
SUBJECT: PROPOSED SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING ORDINANCE
GENTLEMEN:
THE POPULATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF GROW HAS TRIPLED
FROM 1400 TO 4500 PERSONS IN THE PERIOD 1960 TO 1971 WITH A
TOTAL OF 298 BUILDING PERMITS ISSU~D IN 1971 ALONE, INDICATING
AN ACCELERATING RATE OF DEVELOPMENT AND URBANIZATION. CìR01/1
TOWNSHIP IS ON THE THRESHOLD OF A ~ULL SCALE SANITARY S~ÑER
PROGRAM AND ONCE THE PROGRAM BECOMES A REALITY DEVELOPMENT
WILL CONTINUE AT A MORE RAPID PACE THAN BEFORE CREATING
ADDITIONAL DEMANDS FOR SANITARY SEWER, STREET IMPROVE~~NTS,
PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS, FIRE AND POLICE PROTECTION AND OTHER
MUNICIPAL SERVICES.
AT THE PRESENT TIME, THE TOWNSHIP DOES NOT HAVE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL, SUCH AS A SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, TO GUIDE
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. THE TOWNSHIP HAS HAD TO RELY
ON A LIMITED PLATTING SECTION CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE NUI:?t:R 8,
ZONING REGULATIONS, A SECTION WHICH WAS NOT DESIGNED TO ADMINISTER
THE SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING OF LAND.
THEREFORE, THE ZONING AND PLANNING CO~WISSION HEREBY
RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THAT THE PROPOSED
SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS PRESENTED AT
'THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON, FEBRUARY 1, 1972.
