7/16/13 - Genoa Townshipâs draft master plan will be going out for more review and input from surrounding communities. The board met Monday and discussed the plan, which shapes the future vision for the entire township but more specifically, a unified plan for the Latson Road interchange area and future development. Ultimately, board members agreed to distribute the draft to adjacent municipalities and the county for required review, so long as maps reflect the conceptual plan and that the interchange area will be reviewed further. Some were originally against moving ahead with the adoption process, knowing more changes would be made. Overall, a campus-style concept is being proposed with different types of uses, including some commercial in the immediate interchange area. It will include flexibility for the township and provide triggers so that depending on the use, the area could expand or other accessory/ancillary uses could develop along Latson-Nixon Road in the future. Another public hearing will be held with additional input from the Planning Commission and eventually, board approval. (JM)
