2/20/13 - After more than a year of review, an updated master plan was adopted by the Tyrone Township Board last night. The master plan gives the board a general framework for the development and zoning of the township, and by law it must be reviewed for possible revisions every five years. Township staff conducted visioning sessions as required by state statute, collaborated with township officials, and looked at updated information from the 2010 census and the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments to make the new master plan. Planning Commission Chair Mark Meisel tells WHMI that despite the extensive review, very few changes were made to the master plan. They included the incorporation of new SEMCOG and census data as well as a revision to the townshipâs commercial and industrial area. The new plan also takes better account of the neighboring communities of Fenton and Hartland, which Meisel says influence who comes into Tyrone Township, where they live, and what roads they use. Tyrone Township will perform is next review and possible revision of its master plan in 2018. (TD)
