A small section of Dennison Road over the Saline River has been closed to replace the bridge.
During the project’s design phase, road commission officials completed a review of the site with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy that noted the potential presence of northern long-eared and Indiana bats, species that are protected in Michigan, living under the bridge.
Zoning to allow a large windmill farm atop the Broad Mountain in Packer Twp. was denied Tuesday afternoon by the township zoning board.
The board voted 3-0 to deny a special exception to the township zoning ordinance to operate the wind farm, and to deny three zoning variances associated with such an operation.
Barbara Genetti, board vice chairwoman, said the denial centered around questions about the effects of sound from the wind turbines and their effect on property values.
âBased on what they (the applicants) were saying, and based on what the opposition was saying, we couldnât decide who was giving us the accurate information,â Genetti said. âI do not find the applicantâs witnesses testimony credible, especially concerning sound.â
