Capital Improvements Plan 2013-2018
Overview
The 2013-2018 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will serve as a tool to guide and assist the Township’s Board of Trustees, management and staff in turning long-range planning into actual improvements. This six-year plan, updated annually, is a requirement of the Township under the Michigan Planning Enabling Act of 2008. The following report identifies the major capital improvements that are necessary for the community, the timeline for the implementation of these improvements, and the budget and revenue sources that will make these improvements a reality.
A CIP is a six-year schedule of public physical improvements which identify the need for major infrastructure improvements and the sources of funding for such improvements. It provides a schedule of expenditures for constructing, maintaining, upgrading and/or replacing a community’s physical inventory. The CIP, therefore, is a tool to assess the long-term capital project requirements for Watertown Charter Township. Since capital improvements are spread across many community needs (fire protection, sewer and water, parks and recreation, municipal administration, etc.) the CIP helps to prioritize these projects over time.
What makes a project a capital improvement?
Capital improvements are major, infrequent expenditures, such as construction of a new facility, a major rehabilitation or repair to an existing facility, or the purchase of major equipment. Capital improvements are non-recurring expenditures that tend to be both large in physical size and cost, and have a longer useful life. Examples of capital projects include:
Construction of a new township hall or fire station Major road construction, such as bridge replacement or repaving | Adopted October 3, 2012 Extension of a sewer and/or water line
Purchase of a new fire truck Major repairs and/or renovations to township hall or fire station Creation of a new township park
The following projects are examples of expenditures that would be categorized as operating expenses, and would not usually constitute a capital improvement project:
Capital Improvements Plan Purchase of new office furniture

Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB3
Purchase of new/used small equipment (lawn mowers, copiers, individual computers, etc.) Recurring maintenance of existing facilities Minor repairs to buildings or equipment Minor improvements to existing buildings (carpeting, painting, fixtures, etc.)
What is Watertown Charter Township’s Capital Improvement Policy?
The term “major expenditure” is relative – what is major to Watertown Township may be minor to another. The following section describes Watertown Charter Township’s policy for determining how a capital improvement is defined.
A capital improvement is a major, non-recurring expenditure that meets one or more of the following criteria:
Any acquisition of land for a public purpose which costs $15,000 or more. Any construction of a new facility (township building, water or sewer lines, parks), or any addition to an existing public facility, the cost of which equals $15,000 or more and has a useful life of five or more years. A non-recurring rehabilitation (not including annual/recurring maintenance) of a building, its grounds, a facility or equipment, the cost of said rehabilitation being $15,000 or more with a useful life of five or more years. Purchase of major equipment which, individually or in total, cost $15,000 or more with a useful life of five or more years. Planning, feasibility, engineering or design studies related to an individual capital
improvement project with a cost of $15,000 or more.
Why is Watertown Charter Township preparing a CIP now?
In 2007, a six-year CIP was developed and adopted by the Planning Commission. This plan expires in 2012 and a comprehensive update must be completed. The Michigan Planning Enabling Act of 2008 requires that a CIP be prepared and annually updated for any township which has a master plan, and for any township that owns and/or operates its own water supply | Adopted October 3, 2012 and/or sewer system. Because Watertown Charter Township has both an adopted master plan and is co-owner of a sanitary sewer system, adopting and annually updating a CIP is a requirement under state law. [MCL125.3865]

What are the benefits of preparing and adopting a CIP?
The CIP is more than just a state law requirement, it is an essential planning tool in addition to a statement of budgetary policy. It informs the taxpayers of Watertown Charter Township how the township plans to prioritize, schedule, and coordinate capital improvement projects over the next six years. The benefits of creating and annually updating the CIP include, but are not limited to:
Transparent and prudent use of taxpayer dollars; Focusing expenditures on the needs of the community; Prioritizing projects across the needs of the community; Generating support by seeking public input; Promoting economic development; Improving eligibility for state and federal grants; Providing an implementation tool for the goals and objectives of the township’s master plan and non-motorized transportation plan.
Who plays a role in the CIP process?
The Township Planning Commission is required by state law to take the lead role in the CIP planning process. This ensures that the goals and objectives of the master plan are fully recognized throughout the process. The Township Board of Trustees and Department Heads who have budgetary responsibilities play roles in the CIP process, by proposing projects which will affect their departments. As capital improvement projects are likely to use public funds, it is also important that the residents of the township play a role in developing the CIP. Local
agency representatives, such as the local sewer authority or road commission, may also play a role by proposing projects which may need to take place within the CIP’s timeframe.
How are CIP projects evaluated and prioritized?
CIP projects will be evaluated and prioritized at several levels prior to adoption of the plan. Those who propose projects will self-evaluate and prioritize their submission(s). Next, the CIP co-coordinators will review the proposed projects and make preliminary recommendations to | Adopted October 3, 2012
the Township’s Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will use the criteria outlined in Appendix A to evaluate each project. A public hearing will be advertised and held by the Planning Commission for the public to review the proposed CIP plan and projects. The Planning Commission’s final recommendations will be forwarded to the Board of Trustees for final review and adoption.

Approved Capital Improvement Projects
February 6, 2013 Reviewed January 8, 2014, Amended April 1, 2015, Reviewed March 2, 2016 Project No. 1. Sewer Infrastructure Improvements Project summary: Planning for a sewer line extension on Lowell Road from State Road south to Grand River Avenue, and west along Grand River Avenue with pump station and manhole improvements is currently underway. This project will also install a new pump station which is intended to alleviate pressure on pump station No. 402. A deteriorating manhole will also be repaired as part of this project. Within the next five years, it is expected that improvements will be necessary at pump station No. 401 as well. Facility improvements will be necessary due to the age of the pump station, and improvements in technology. Pump station No. 401 is located adjacent to the Fox Brothers property on the south side of Grand River Avenue, west of Airport Road. This facility was constructed in 1984, and although mechanical and electrical components have reached their useful life, the pumps and other equipment have been very dependable. Pump station No. 402 is located on Grand River Avenue in the northwest of Section 34. The location of this pump station is not favorable, and there is
currently no standby power. Overall, the station is in poor condition and its location is not ideal to serve prime development properties. The new proposed pump station will be located on Grand River Avenue further east of existing pump station No. 402, south of the Marathon facility. Evaluation criteria and priority level: Per the evaluation criteria schedule, this
| Adopted October 3, 2012 project addresses a risk to health, safety, and/or welfare. In addition, the
expected upgrades will likely result in improved efficiency, operational and maintenance costs. The pump station upgrades are recommended as part of the Township’s 2007 Sewer Master Plan. The upgrades to pump station No. 401 are important, and the upgrades to pump station No. 402 are urgent. The proposed project to establish a new pump station and thus alleviate pressure on pump station No. 402 and repair the manhole are urgent.
Capital Improvements Plan Cost: Up to $1,500,000.

Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB3
Funding: Funding for these projects will be covered by federal Community Development Block Grant funds, ($1,400,000) and the Township’s sewer fund (approximately $170,000). Project No. 2. Fire Equipment Needs Project summary: The Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority expects that within the next six years, their Tanker #1, KME Pumper/Tanker will need to be replaced. The Authority’s depreciation schedule shows that by 2018, a replacement will be necessary. The tanker dates to the time the Authority was established in 2002. Evaluation criteria and priority level: Per the evaluation criteria schedule, this project addresses a risk to health, safety, and/or welfare. Its priority level at this time is important, but it is expected that level will rise to urgent during the course of this plan. Cost: The total cost, as estimated by the Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority, is anticipated to be up to $275,000. Watertown Township’s share of this expenditure is expected to be up to $178,750. Funding: Funding for these projects would likely be covered by the Township’s general fund. Watertown Township would be responsible for 65% of the costs of capital outlay, as per our agreement with Eagle Township and Delta Charter Township. As a result of our multi-township contract, we may have higher eligibility for grants.
Project No. 3. Watertown Parkway Property Improvements Project summary: The Township has owned more than 100 acres of property south of I-69 along Watertown Parkway since 1990. The property consists of an existing residential structure and open space. To develop this property into a public park, with limited walking trails and passive | Adopted October 3, 2012 recreation opportunities, several projects would need to be completed:
• Create and adopt a plan for the development of the property • Demolish the residential structure • Improve entrance and establish parking facilities • Develop walking trails • Purchase property on Lowell Road for alternate access Capital Improvements Plan

Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB3
Evaluation criteria and priority level: Per the evaluation criteria schedule, this project addresses a master plan implementation item. The project is classified as desirable. Cost: Up to $300,000. Plan development would be the least expensive portion of this project, likely being conducted in house or with limited consulting services, for approximately $5,000. Demolition of the house, depending on the method of demolition, is likely to cost approximately $25,000. Improving the entrance and parking facilities will depend on the materials used. Gravel facilities would be substantially less than asphalt, but an overall cost is estimated to be $50,000. Trail development would be the costliest portion of this project, with an expected cost of up to $150,000. Property acquisition on Lowell Road would be based on market factors at the time of purchase and the size of the property. Funding: Funding for these projects would likely be covered by grant, and by the Township’s general fund. Adopting the Township’s 5-Year Parks and Recreation Plan would make the Township eligible for grant funding from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Project No. 4. Zoning Ordinance Update Project summary: Over the past several years, Watertown Charter Township has been working with a zoning ordinance that was codified during 2006-2010. Prior to the ordinance being codified, the zoning ordinance was last fully updated in 2001, with several amendments being adopted since that time. Many state law changes and court decisions have taken effect and need to be incorporated into the ordinance. In addition, various new uses and clarifications to existing uses would greatly improve the ordinance. Incorporating the zoning map within the document and linking it to uses and requirements would also be a substantial improvement. | Adopted October 3, 2012
Evaluation criteria and priority level: Per the evaluation criteria schedule, this project addresses a master plan implementation item, and will likely improve efficiency and operating and/or maintenance costs over time. The project is classified as important. Cost: Up to $30,000. Consulting services will need to be retained due to the technical requirements. Capital Improvements Plan

Funding: Funding for this project will be through the Township’s general fund. The Planning and Zoning Department has saved over the past several years to fund this project. Project No. 5. Paved Shoulders Project summary: The Township’s adopted Non-Motorized Transportation Plan encourages paved shoulders to be established on roadways in areas where pedestrians are likely to receive benefit, specifically in the Wacousta area, and on the east side of the Township in areas where the subdivisions may benefit from this type of pedestrian connection in lieu of, or in addition to, sidewalks. Evaluation criteria and priority level: Per the evaluation criteria schedule, this project addresses a master plan implementation item, and would be ideal for operational improvement. It can be postponed without detriment to present services. The project is classified as desirable. Cost: Up to $100,000. Costs are expected to vary based on the current roadway conditions, roadside topography and material costs. Funding: Funding for this project will be through the federal and state transportation dollars, including potential state and federal grants, as well as the Township’s general fund.

MEMORANDUM
TO: WATERTOWN TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: ANDREA Z. POLVERENTO, PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: AMEND FEE SCHEDULE – SITE PLAN REVIEW/SPECIAL LAND USE PERMIT FEES DATE: 3/3/2016
The Planning and Zoning fee schedule was last reviewed comprehensively in 2009. Since that time, postage fees have increased. Due to the cost of mailing large packets of site plan documents, which are often outside the weight and size limits of our office postage meter and require priority mail fees, I am recommending updates to the following P&Z fees:
Current Fee Recommended Fee Permit $850 $900 Site Plan Review w/SLU $425 $450 Amendment to Site Plan Review w/SLU $850 $900 Site Plan Review $425 $450 Amendment to SPR $850 $900 SLU (PUD – Commercial and Rural)
The range of fees for similar permitting among other local townships vary significantly. If the recommended fees are adopted, our rates would still fall near the middle of the range.
Suggested motion:
Motion to revise the Planning and Zoning fee schedule as described in the Planning Director’s staff report dated March 3, 2016, effective immediately, and to so amend the adopted township fee schedule.

introduction
he 2009 Watertown Charter Township Master Plan portrays a clear statement of community goals and objectives, establishes a vision of the future, and includes T strategies to achieve that vision over a 10-20 year period. The information and concepts presented in the Master Plan are used to guide local decisions regarding public and private uses of land and the provision of public facilities and services.
Why Prepare a Master Plan Update? The Michigan Planning Enabling Act of 2008 states that the Planning Commission “shall make and approve a master plan as a guide for development” within the Township. It requires that the Master Plan be reviewed every five years. It is good planning practice to consider the external and internal factors that impact or may impact existing land use policies and strategies found in the Master Plan. In addition, the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act of 2006 requires that the Township’s Zoning Ordinance be based upon a plan designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare.
The Planning Process Watertown Charter Township’s Master Plan update process began in June 2015. The Planning Commission reviewed the Township’s regional setting and its physical and demographic characteristics. Problems, opportunities, and community assets were identified. During the process, the Planning Commission reached out to its residents, property owners, community leaders, business owners, and neighboring townships to gain input and ideas.
Based on the Township’s existing conditions, public input received, and the experience of Township officials, the 2009 Master Plan’s goals and objectives were reviewed and updated where appropriate and necessary. The Future Land Use Plan and specific action items have been modified and refined as needed.
Upon completion of a final draft, the Planning Commission will held a public hearing to obtain additional public opinion prior to adoption of the Master Plan.

regional setting
atertown Charter Township is located northwest of the City of Lansing in southern Clinton County and at the heart of the Tri-County Region (Ingham, W Eaton, and Clinton Counties) (Refer to Figure 1). In Clinton County, the Township is bordered by Eagle Township to the west, Riley Township to the north, and DeWitt Charter Township to the east. To the south, the Township is bordered by Delta Charter Township in Eaton County. The City of Lansing and Lansing Charter Township are directly to the southeast in Ingham County. The Township is also located between the smaller cities of DeWitt and Grand Ledge. Its open spaces and natural features offera country atmosphere for those who prefer a rural or small town setting. However, given its proximity to Lansing, the Township is well positioned to accommodate future growth and development of the Lansing metropolitan area.
The Township is situated approximately half way between Grand Rapids and the Detroit Metropolitan area at the intersection of Interstate 69 and Interstate 96. Its location at the crossroads of these two major interstates affords the Township a ready connection to Grand Rapids, Detroit, Flint, and Battle Creek, as well as Indiana and Illinois. Watertown Township is conveniently located between the Capital Region International Airport to the east and Abrams Municipal Airport to the west.
Five school districts serve Watertown Township: Grand Ledge Public Schools, Waverly Community Schools, DeWitt Public Schools, Lansing Public School District, and St. Johns Public Schools. Township residents are within minutes of a number of opportunities for higher education in and around the Lansing area, including Michigan State University, Lansing Community College, Cooley Law School, and Olivet College, Davenport University—Lansing, Spring Arbor University—Lansing Campus, and Central Michigan University—Lansing Center. Convenient access to Interstates 69 and 96 provides residents the ability to easily commute to additional colleges and universities in the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo areas.

Planning Influences Factors outside of the Township’s borders are essential to consider in the planning process. The long-range goals and activities of neighboring communities and the County may impact the Township’s planning efforts, particularly near the Township’s borders.
Clinton County. The Clinton County Comprehensive Land Use Plan was amended in 2008 and consists of goals, objectives, and development policies for the 13 unincorporated townships in the County. Watertown Township’s neighbor to the north, Riley Township, and its neighbor to the west, Eagle Township, are both covered by the County plan. The southern edge of Riley Township, adjacent to Watertown Township, is planned for Prime Agriculture, Transitional, and Residential Center (refer to Figure 2). The Plan describes Prime Agriculture as intended for farming, low-density residential, and other agricultural businesses. Transitional is rural land with existing low-density residential development, providing a transition from agriculture to residential use. Residential center includes rural, low density residential uses forlow-to- medium development, and may offer smaller lot sizes while continuing to maintain a rural character. The eastern edge of Eagle Township, adjacent to Watertown Township, is planned primarily for Prime Agriculture, Transitional, and Residential Center uses (refer to Figure 2). A small area between I-96 and Grand River Avenue is planned for Mixed Use, which is described as a growth area that can accommodate retail services, offices, entertainment, mixed uses, and single-family and multiple-family residential uses. Commercial Use has also been designated along Grand River, and in the southeast corner of Eagle Township.

Watertown Township
DeWitt Charter Township. The DeWitt Charter Township Comprehensive Development Plan was adopted in August 2005. The western edge of DeWitt Township, adjacent to Watertown Township, is planned for a mix of uses (refer to Figure 3). The area north of the Looking Glass River is planned primarily for Single Family Residential uses with low and medium densities. A small Neighborhood Oriented Commercial node is planned for the southeast corner of Airport and Cutler Roads. The area south of the Looking Glass River and north of I- 69 is planned for Community Oriented Commercial and Office uses. South of I-69 is planned for Medium Density Single Family Residential uses. The southwestern portion of DeWitt Township, where the Capital Region International Airport is located, is planned for Institutional and Airport Commercial uses.
Delta Charter Township. The Delta Charter Township Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2013. The northern edge of Delta Township, adjacent to Watertown Township, is planned for Single Family Residential uses (refer to Figure 4). Hawk Meadow Park, located one half mile east of Ingersol Road, is planned for Parks and Recreation use.
Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) serves Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham County. The TCRPC prepared a Summary Report titled Regional Growth: Choices for Our Future in September 2005. This report promotes a “Wise Growth” scenario in which new development would be directed to existing urbanized areas. The adopted regional land use policy map illustrates strengthened city and village centers, focused and clustered growth areas, and minimal development in rural areas to preserve agriculture and open space (Figure 5).

Capital Region International Airport. The Capital City Airport Master Plan was developed in 2006 by the Capital Regional Airport Authority. The Plan establishes a preferred alternative for future facility improvement and expansion to meet forecasted aviation activity at the Airport. The Recommended Airport Development alternative (refer to Figure 6) illustrates “future” and “ultimate” improvements that include construction of a new passenger terminal complex and additional parking facilities, extension of existing runways, construction of a new runway, and expansion of cargo and general aviation areas and facilities. Future improvements include those planned for the short-term to meet current demand as well as those planned for the long-term to meet expected demand in the next 5 to 20 years. Ultimate improvements, such as a new runway, are those for which a demand is not foreseen within the planning period but that could materialize with increased demand or beyond the planning period.

efore the Township can decide what it wants for the future, it is helpful to understand what it has and where it is in the context of today. The Watertown B Charter Township 2009 Master Plan contains analysis of existing conditions of the Township, highlights natural features, socioeconomic characteristics, existing land use, community facilities and services. The following discussion is intended to identify factors and conditions that have changed since the 2009 Plan was adopted. All population and housing data is from the U.S. Census unless otherwise noted.
Figure 7. Watertown Township Population and Housing Population Growth The Township’s population has grown steadily over the last three decades (Figure 7). According to the U.S. Census, Watertown 6,000 Township had a population of 4,836 in 2010. 4,000 4,836 4,925 4,162 The Census Bureau estimated the Township’s 3,731 population to be 4,925 in 2013. This 2,000 estimated increase of 89 persons represents a - 1.8% growth in population since 2010. This 1990 2000 2010 2013 estimated growth rate is slightly lower than the 2.1% rate of growth that the Census has estimated for Clinton County over the same Source: U.S. Census 2010, 2013 Estimate time period.
If current development trends continue, the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) population forecast for Watertown Township indicates an increase to 5,535 by 2020 and 6,112 by 2030. Under the TCRPC’s recommended Wise Growth Scenario, however, the Township’s population is forecasted to be 4,888 by 2020 and 4,934 by 2030.
In the past, the largest age group in the Township has been the family formation group (ages 20-44 years). However, the Township’s population appears to be aging consistent with national trends (Figure 8). Census data indicates that between 2000 and 2010, the family
MASTER PLAN . existing conditions 13
Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB5
Watertown Charter Township
formation group experienced a decrease, while the empty nest group (ages 45-64 years) and seniors experienced an increase. It is important to note that while the Township’s population will likely continue to age, the pre-school/school-aged group (ages 0-19 years) and the family formation group together comprise a significant segment of the total population. This is an indicator that the Township continues to be an attractive location for families.
Figure 8. Watertown Township Population by Age. Source: U.S. Census 2010
40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 0 - 19 Years 20 - 44 Years 45 - 64 Years 65+ Years 2000 2010
Growth in the Township’s over 65 population during the past ten years is consistent with regional and national trends on aging, which is related to the aging of the Baby Boomer generation and declining marriage and birth rates.
The American Planning Association, in its 2014 Aging in Community Policy Guide, notes that older adults—65 and over—represent 13 percent of the population. By 2030, one in every five people living in the US will be over the age of 65. This aging of America is fueled by 72 million Baby Boomers aging through the life cycle in combination with a profound increase in life expectancy.
The APA supports the creation and integration of housing, land-use, transportation, economic, social service and health systems that support a high quality of life for people of all ages and abilities. A multigenerational planning approach ensures that the needs of all residents are met and that older members of our communities are not at risk of social isolation, poverty, declining health, and poor economic well- being.

Figure 9. Residential Building Permits Issued in Township. Source: Watertown Township
Watertown Township’s population is predominantly white (93.6%). Township residents are also black (1.3%), American Indian and Alaska Native (0.3%), Asian (1.3%), another race (1.1%), or two or more races (2.2%). Four percent of the population is of Hispanic or Latino origin, and one resident is reported to be of Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander.
There were a total of 1,993 housing units in Watertown Township in 2015. Beginning in 2005, the Township experienced a decline in residential and commercial construction coinciding with a national recession and overall decline in the housing market. While building activity has resumed (see Figure 9 that illustrates construction activity in the Township between 2010-2015), the Township estimates that there are over 600 approved home sites in the Township that remain undeveloped. If all 600 sites were built out, it would represent a 30% increase in the Township’s total housing units. Based on the average absorption rate from 2010-2015, this represents a 27-year supply of housing. Land Use Watertown Township is comprised of primarily agricultural lands, open spaces, and rural, large-lot single- family homes located along the main roads (Figure 10). The majority of the Township’s smaller-lot single -family neighborhoods are located along the west side of Airport Road. There are also several older neighborhoods along the Looking Glass River near Wacousta.

The majority of non-residential uses in the Township are located within the Grand River Avenue corridor, primarily east of Interstate-69. Development in this corridor includes auto-oriented commercial establishments and industrial uses. The Township’s light industrial district provides Watertown Township with a solid industrial tax base. Its proximity and access to interstate and rail transportation make this a prime location for additional industrial development.
The Granger Sanitary Landfill, located between I-96 and Grand River Avenue and between Wacousta and Forest Hill Roads, encompasses over 178 acres of the Township’s land area. Gateways Watertown Township is conveniently located at the intersection of I-69 and I-96, with interchanges located at Airport Road and Grand River Avenue. These two interchanges not only provide excellent access to the freeways, they also serve as important gateways into Watertown Township. Grand River Avenue is also an important gateway into the Township from the east and west.

goals and objectives
he Watertown Township Master Plan is a guide for future development. It establishes public policies regarding long-range land use. Public input is a key contributor to this T policy basis. The goals and objectives are intended to result in a specific quality and character for the community. This will be achieved by following strategies designed to permit measurable progress toward achieving the Township’s objectives. These strategies will have to balance the public purposes inherent in planning for the long-range future of the community with the rights of private property owners to develop an appropriate use of their land. In 2015, the Planning Commission affirmed the 2009 goals and objectives, but refined their presentation intofour broad goals to facilitate improved clarity: 1. Strengthen Community Identity. Strengthen the Township's rural character and community identity by preserving agricultural land and open space, ensuring the long-term stability of residential areas and neighborhoods, and preserving historic resources. Provide opportunities for residents to interact through cultural and recreational events and programs that highlight the Township's rural character. 2. Encourage Economic Development. Enhance the Township's economic climate by encouraging a diverse mix of agricultural, commercial and industrial uses in appropriate locations near Township resources, including existing utilities, the Capital Region International Airport, and Wacousta. 3. Improve Connectivity. Build a non-motorized transportation network that connects residents to meaningful destinations throughout the Township. Prioritize linkages that promote the public health and safety of Township residents as well as linkages that reinforce the Township's community identity. Encourage improvements to communications infrastructure, including broadband, to provide for enhanced opportunities for residents and business owners to connect to each other and tothe greater community. 4. Protect the Environment. Conserve the natural resources, open spaces, and environmental assets of the Township. Encourage development of land in a sustainable manner that protects the environment for current and future generations.

future land use plan
he Future Land Use Plan component of the Master Plan document identifies action strategies to pursue in order to achieve the long-range goals and objectives of the T Township. The Future Land Use Map is based upon the Township’s desire to encourage responsible and sustainable growth that is sensitive to the natural environment, creates a sense of place, and meets the needs of future residents. Specifically, the Plan is intended to: Maintain and enhance the Township’s rural character and historical resources. Preserve lands particularly well-suited for agricultural production. Encourage development of land in an environmentally and economically sound manner that optimizes development possibilities and natural resource protection for future generations. To achieve these goals, it is the Township’s policy to promote low impact development techniques, smart growth principles, energy conservation, and sustainable development.
The Master Plan and Future Land Use Map are tools to be used by the Planning Commission and Township Board during land use decision-making, capital improvement planning, development review, and ongoing reevaluation and refinement of the Township’s ordinances. Implementation of the general recommendations and specific action strategies will occur over time and will depend upon many factors, including the overall economic climate, changing development trends, availability of utilities, local budget constraints, and political priorities.
The Future Land Use Map on page 30 is a representation of the Township’s preferred long-range future land use arrangement. The map identifies general locations for various land uses envisioned by the Planning Commission. The Future Land Use Map, along with the entire Master Plan document, is a guide for local decisions regarding land use. The boundaries reflected on the map are not intended to indicate precise size, shape or dimension. In addition, the Future Land Use Map does not necessarily imply that rezoning is imminent; rather, the recommendations set a long- range planning goal. Following are descriptions of the future land use categories illustrated on the map.

Principles of Smart Growth (Included in 2009 Master Plan) Create Walkable Neighborhoods Walkable communities are desirable places to live, work, learn, worship and play, and therefore a key component of smart growth. Encourage Community and Stakeholder Collaboration Growth can create great places to live, work and play -- if it responds to a community’s own sense of how and where it wants to grow. Create Range of Housing Opportunities and Choices Providing quality housing for people of all income levels is an integral component in any smart growth strategy. Foster Distinctive, Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense of Place Smart growth encourages communities to craft a vision and set standards for development and construction which respond to community values of architectural beauty and distinctiveness, as well as expanded choices in housing and transportation. Make Development Decisions Predictable, Fair and Cost Effective For a community to be successful in implementing smart growth, it must be embraced by the private sector. Mix Land Uses Smart growth supports the integration of mixed land uses into communities as a critical component of achieving better places to live. Preserve Open Space, Farmland, Natural Beauty and Critical Environmental Areas Open space preservation supports smart growth goals by bolstering local economies, preserving critical environmental areas, improving our communities quality of life, and guiding new growth into existing communities. Provide a Variety of Transportation Choices Providing people with more choices in housing, shopping, communities, and transportation is a key aim of smart growth. Strengthen and Direct Development Towards Existing Communities Smart growth directs development towards existing communities already served by infrastructure, seeking to utilize the resources that existing neighborhoods offer, and conserve open space and irreplaceable natural resources on the urban fringe. Take Advantage of Compact Building Design Smart growth provides a means for communities to incorporate more compact building design as an alternative to conventional, land consumptive development.

The 2016 Master Plan Update retains the bulk of the land use categories, but adds in one new category: Flexible Development. This land use category is designed for specific locations within the Township that could accommodate a mixed-use or single-use development, including commercial, light industrial and office uses. This district is intended to provide for flexibility in allowing future development which is compatible with the existing uses, and could service the commercial demand generated by the workforce of current and future industrial uses. This district allows for strategic positioning of targeted uses, driven by industrial demand, to be harmonious with the overall area without adversely affecting surrounding properties. To reduce traffic concerns, the areas designated within the Township for this classification include properties with frontage on Grand River Avenue, generally between Bunker Hill Drive and Airport Road.
Agriculture and Rural Residential. Areas planned for Agriculture and Rural Residential are intended to accommodate primarily agricultural land uses, farm dwellings, and non-farm dwellings that are in keeping with the rural and agricultural character. Residential development in these areas should be limited to single-family homes at an overall density generally in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 dwelling units per acre. Agriculture and Rural Residential areas are not intended to be served by public water or sanitary sewer services.
Recognizing that some lands are particularly well-suited to agricultural uses, it is the Township’s intent to minimize the encroachment of non-farm uses into these prime agricultural areas. In order to discourage the consumption of prime agricultural land by large-lot residential development, the Township should zone these areas Agricultural Preservation, limit density, maintain the maximum lot size of two acres, and require the preservation of open space and/or farmland as a condition of development. Areas best suited for Agricultural Preservation are those enrolled in P.A. 116 and those designated as prime or unique farmland by the United States Department of Agriculture.
While Grand River Corridor is primarily planned for more intensive uses, it is the intent of the Master Plan to retain the existing agricultural area along Grand River Avenue west of Wacousta Road. This area offers travelers on Grand River a view of the Township’s agricultural land and rural character.
Low Density Residential. The area planned for Low Density Residential is intended to accommodate single-family and two-family homes up to a maximum density of 1.0 dwelling units per acre. Located outside of the Township’s agricultural lands with convenient access to the freeways and Grand River, this area is an ideal location for residential development. Future development within these areas, however, should be at a low density that does not require extension of public water and sanitary sewer service.
MASTER PLAN 23
Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB5
Watertown Charter Township
Medium Density Residential. Areas planned for Medium Density Residential are intended to accommodate residential uses up to a maximum density of 2.0 dwelling units per acre. Planned Medium Density Residential areas are primarily concentrated in two key areas: 1) along the Township’s eastern boundary where public water and sanitary sewer service is already available, and 2) within the Wacousta area and Village Gateway areas.
Along Airport Road, this designation provides a transition between the mix of nonresidential and residential land uses planned to the east in DeWitt Charter Township and the agricultural and rural residential land uses to the west in Watertown Township.
In and around Wacousta, medium density residential development serves to support extension of public utilities to the village area and will provide additional rooftops needed to support nonresidential uses in the Village Center. Development of this area should be designed in a manner that is sensitive to and provides for an appropriate transition to the outlying agricultural and rural residential areas.
High Density Residential. The area planned for High Density Residential is intended to accommodate a variety of attached and detached residential uses up to a maximum density of 8.0 dwelling units per acre. Development of this area should be designed in a manner that provides for an appropriate transition between the planned Local Business node at the freeway interchange and the surrounding Medium Density Residential neighborhoods.
Manufactured Housing Park. The area planned for Manufactured Housing Park is intended to accommodate expansion of the existing park and/or development of a new modern manufactured housing park at a density of approximately 5.0 dwelling units per acre.
Local Business. The area planned for Local Business is intended to accommodate small scale neighborhood-oriented commercial uses, such as financial institutions, personal service establishments, professional offices, and small restaurants and coffee shops. Located along Airport Road abutting the I-69 interchange, this area is intended to primarily meet the convenience service needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. This area could accommodate limited highway-oriented commercial uses; however, development of such uses should be of a character and scale that is consistent with a neighborhood commercial node. Local Business areas should be appropriately buffered from residential areas by landscaping and screening and/or lower intensity transitional land uses such as offices.

Principal Business. The areas planned for Principal Business are intended to accommodate larger scale retail and office developments and auto-oriented uses that meet the needs of the entire community. Located along Grand River Avenue with convenient access to Interstate 69 and Interstate 96, uses within the Principal Business area will serve Township residents, pass-by travelers, and surrounding communities. Principal Business areas should be appropriately buffered from residential areas by landscaping and screening and/or lower intensity transitional land uses such as offices.

Village Center. The area planned for Village Center is located at the heart of Wacousta. The Village Center is intended to accommodate a mix of land uses including small scale retail, office, high density residential, public and quasi-public, and parks and open spaces. Development within the Village Center should be designed to strengthen the sense of place and enhance the existing town or village form while reflecting the area’s rural character.
Industry and Technology. The areas planned for Industry and Technology are intended to accommodate a range of uses including warehousing, storage, light manufacturing, large office complexes and parks, and research and development. These areas are located in the southeastern portion of the Township in appropriate proximity to the railroad, freeways, Grand River Avenue, and Capital Region Airport. Industry and Technology areas should be appropriately buffered from residential areas by landscaping and screening and/or lower intensity transitional land uses such as offices.
Landfill. The area designated as Landfill encompasses the Granger Sanitary Landfill site.
Airport. The area designated as Airport encompasses the land owned by the Capital Region International Airport.
Open Space. The areas planned for Open Space are intended to accommodate open space and recreational uses including golf courses, parks, and cemeteries. (Note: Due to its location within the Village Center area, Heritage Park is not specifically designated as Open Space on the Future Land Use Map; however, it is the intent of the Master Plan that Heritage Park be maintained as a public park and open space.)
2016 Addition: Flexible Development. Flexible Development. This land use category is designed for specific locations within the Township that could accommodate a mixed-use or single-use development, including commercial, light industrial and office uses. This district is intended to provide for flexibility in allowing future development which is compatible with the existing uses, and could service the commercial demand generated by the workforce of current and future industrial uses. This district allows for strategic positioning of targeted uses, driven by industrial demand, to be harmonious with the overall area without adversely affecting surrounding properties.

Tubers enjoying the Looking Glass River as it runs through Watertown Township.
In addition to the underlying land use recommendations, the Future Land Use Map designates four focus areas with the following overlay classifications:
Looking Glass River Corridor. The Looking Glass River is a significant scenic and riparian resource that runs through the Township primarily between Clark and Herbison Roads. The Looking Glass River Overlay classification is intended to identify the River as an important community asset and encourage its protection, appropriate use, and ecological management.
Riparian corridors, such as the Looking Glass River, provide critical wildlife habitat and movement corridors; serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, stormwater storage, and flood control; offer opportunities for active and passive recreation; and tie communities together.
A number of best practices, tools, and techniques are available to assist in the protection and enhancement of the River corridor. A Riparian Corridor Plan can establish the policy framework for future regulatory measures and detail recommended strategies for leveraging the opportunities the River offers the Township and its residents. Such a plan should focus on how best to utilize the diverse ecological and cultural aspects of the River as it flows through the Township. It should identify the range of functions provided by and community values associated with the River, and how those benefits can best be managed and leveraged so the River corridor truly becomes a community asset. The Plan should include both land- based recommendations for protecting the functional values of the River and branding and identity-based recommendations for raising public awareness and engagement.

Wacousta. Wacousta is situated at the crossroads of Wacousta and Herbison Roads and is the Township’s historic settlement or hamlet. It is unincorporated but commonly referred to as Wacousta Village or, more generally, the Wacousta area. It has many key components of a place: government center (Township Hall), public gathering spaces (Township parks), elementary school, library, place of worship, significant natural feature (Looking Glass River), recreation opportunities (gymnasium, ball fields, canoe landings), residential neighborhoods, and businesses (including the Wacousta General Store). While the Township is challenged by multiple school district boundaries and zip codes resulting in a lack of common identity among its residents, Wacousta presents a unique opportunity for creating a true sense of place within Watertown Township. By developing, adopting, and implementing a Wacousta Area Plan, the Township can clearly articulate its future vision for the Wacousta area and identify specific action strategies to build upon the assets already present within the village area. Such an area plan can illustrate the preferred physical “town” form and neighborhood characteristics, detail streetscape improvements such as street lights, sidewalks and crosswalks, and establish concepts for gateway identification and enhancement. See Figure 11 for additional information.
Village Gateway. Slightly “off the beaten path,” the Wacousta area currently lacks visibility from Grand River Avenue — the Township’s most heavily traveled roadway. The Village Gateway overlay classification is intended to identify this area as an important gateway to Wacousta and encourage future development in a manner that provides for a noticeable transition — or gateway — into the Village. Future land uses within this overlay area are primarily planned for Medium Density Residential; however, a more detailed Wacousta Area Plan should provide recommendations for additional development characteristics such as front setbacks and right-of-way plantings unique to the Gateway overlay area.
Grand River Avenue Corridor. Grand River Avenue is an important thoroughfare through the southern portion of the Township that connects Watertown Township to the City of Lansing to the east and Portland to the West. The corridor encompasses the majority of the Township’s existing nonresidential uses, including industrial and highway-oriented commercial uses as well as the Granger Sanitary Landfill. The Grand River Avenue Corridor overlay classification is intended to recognize the significance of this corridor — its access to both freeways, visibility, volume of traffic, and concentration of existing and planned nonresidential land uses. Development in this area should be well designed to portray an attractive image of the Township and ensure a safe and efficient transportation corridor. Development and adoption of a detailed Grand River Corridor Plan can establish the policy framework for refinement of the Grand River Avenue Overlay District in the Zoning Ordinance. Future amendments to the Overlay District could specify additional regulations for development and redevelopment within the corridor, such as access management techniques, building placement and materials, signage, parking, screening, and landscaping standards. As indicated on the Future Land Use Map, existing agriculture and rural residential uses west of Wacousta Road should be retained in order to preserve views of the Township’s agricultural land and rural character from this important corridor.

he Township’s thoughtful preparation and adoption of the Master T Plan would be of diminished value without a program for and long- term commitment to its implementation.
There are a wide variety of tools and techniques available to help implement the Township’s Master Plan. The most effective tool is the Zoning Ordinance. Periodic review and amendment of the Zoning Ordinance is critical to ensure that the Township’s current use and development standards are consistent with its long-range goals. Consistent application of zoning standards through the site plan review process, as well as consistent, impartial code enforcement, are also vital to the success and implementation of the Master Plan.
The action items found throughout the Future Land Use Plan are designed to make implementation straightforward. For easy reference, the action items are collected into the Action Item Summary Table. There is no established timetable for implementation of these recommended actions and strategies. Rather, the Township Board, Planning Commission, and Planning Staff should review this table on a regular basis, as well as the Plan’s goals and objectives, to prioritize actions and ensure that decisions and policies are consistent with the vision of the Plan. The Township’s implementation priorities and schedule will likely change over time as conditions change, such as the state of the economy, development trends, demographic shifts, financial ability, etc. It is the responsibility of the Planning Commission and Township Board to implement the long-range policies and recommendations of the Master Plan, as appropriate, to achieve the future vision and goals of the Township.

The Zoning Plan is intended to guide short-term implementation of the long- term recommendations illustrated on the Future Land Use Map. The intent of the Zoning Plan is not to identify all areas that would require rezoning to be consistent with the Plan. Rather, the Zoning Plan highlights specific key or priority areas where existing zoning is significantly lacking appropriate standards or would inhibit development in accordance with the Master Plan.
Zoning is one of the Township’s most effective tools for implementing the recommendations of the Master Plan; however, there is not always a direct correlation between the Plan’s future land use designations and the

Township’s current zoning districts. The reason for this is that the Future Land Use Map represents the Township’s preferred long-range land use arrangement, while the Zoning Ordinance regulates specific use and development of property today. Many of the Plan’s recommendations are likely not feasible under current zoning; new districts may need to be created and existing districts may need amending. As an implementation tool, the Zoning Matrix illustrates how the future land use designations generally correspond to the existing zoning districts. It is important to remember that in many cases, zoning amendments would be necessary to be consistent with the intent and recommendations of the Master Plan.

Utility Service Extension Priorities In order to encourage growth and development consistent with the preferred Future Land Use Map, it is important to coordinate land use decisions with the extension of public water and sanitary sewer services. Currently these utilities serve the Airport Road residential neighborhoods and the Grand River Corridor east of Forest Hill Road. The land use pattern on the Future Land Use Plan is intended to encourage and support the extension of these utilities to the west along Grand River and ultimately north to Wacousta. When planning for extension of these utilities, the unserved portion of the Grand River Corridor and the Wacousta area should be given priority over other areas of the Township.

It is important to coordinate land use decisions with the extension of public water and sanitary sewer services.
MASTER PLAN . implementation 37
Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB5
Watertown Charter Township
Timing of utility extensions will depend upon the demand for utilities, capacity of the existing systems, and the Township’s ability to expand and extend the existing systems. Land use decisions, such as rezonings, should occur in a logical manner to coordinate with any necessary utility extensions.
For example, the Grand River Avenue Corridor is planned for Principal Business uses between Forest Hill and Wacousta Roads. However, it would be premature to rezone and develop this area for commercial uses prior to the extension of utilities to serve this area. Rather, the Master Plan envisions Principal Business uses gradually extending west from the existing business district near the freeway interchange in a logical manner that is coordinated with demand for such uses and the extension of utilities.
Implementation Tools and Techniques The Township has a wide variety of tools and techniques at its disposal to help implement its long-range planning. These tools include, but are certainly not limited to, the following: Zoning Ordinance Standards and Map Code Enforcement Subdivision and Condominium Regulations Special Design Plans and Study Area Plans Capital Improvement Program Public Utility Policy Public—Private Partnerships Site Plan, Special Land Use, and Rezoning Review Special Millages and Assessments Local Land Trusts and Conservancies Access Management Planning and Regulation Federal and State Grant Programs Re-evaluation and Adjustment of the Master Plan

TO: WATERTOWN TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: WAGE RATE STUDY COMMITTEE JANICE THELEN, MARIDEAN DELONG, GEORGE WEITZEL*, JENNIFER TUBBS, AND ANDREA POLVERENTO
SUBJECT: WAGE RATE STUDY AD-HOC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION DATE: 3/16/2016
The Wage Rate Study Ad-Hoc committee met on March 14, 2016, and is recommending the following process on how to proceed with a potential wage rate study:
Currently, the range of fees a study would cost is estimated but unknown. A range of potential costs should be determined for the Board of Trustees to consider prior to commencing many further tasks related to this study.
It is also unknown the type and quantity of information that the township would need to provide as part of a request for proposals to conduct a wage rate study. This information should be obtained prior to development of an RFP for a wage rate study.
The committee recommends that they be authorized to make contact with local firms who conduct wage rate studies to discuss the scope of a potential study, and report back to the Board of Trustees in April.
(*Trustee Weitzel was absent with notice from the committee meeting.)
Suggested motion:
Motion to concur with the recommendation of the Wage Rate Study Ad-Hoc Committee, and to authorize the committee to make contact with local firms who conduct wage rate studies to discuss the scope of a potential study.

Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority 7720 W Grand River Ave. Grand Ledge, MI 48837 March 10, 2016
Eagle & Watertown Township Board Members:
Dear Board Members :
The Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority requests your approval for the capital expenditure of $ 9768.94 for new Plymovent System components and equipment for the building exhaust system. While this cost was not planned as part of the 2015 budget there is a fund balance ($19057.44) which is enough to cover the cost. The Authority is seeking approval on this as the system is a necessary building system which keeps employees safe when trucks are running inside the building. The components and equipment purchased will allow for the needed improvements to the system and flexibility for the various vehicles which use it.
The Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority members urge each of the township boards to consider our request for approval for purchasing this capital equipment for the building.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority

RE: Group Life Insurance Policy
Attached are the full plan of the recommended Life Insurance Policy and the cost sheets of the other proposals received.
The Group Life Insurance Ad-hoc Committee met and reviewed the plans received by the township. The proposals offered comparable coverages in accordance with the approved policy. The most noticeable difference was the cost for coverage. It was clear that the Municipal Employee Retirement System of Michigan was the most cost effective plan for the township.
Recommended Action:
To approve the MERS proposal dated February 10, 2016 for the Group Life Insurance Policy for Watertown Charter Township

Re: Performance Review of Planning Director
Attached is the Performance Review for the Planning Director that was conducted by the Executive Committee of the Planning Commission. The Planning Director once again received an excellent review.
There are some areas where the Planning Commission would have no knowledge in regards to the day to day operations of the Planning Department and they have marked those sections with an N/A.
In addition to concurring with the Planning Commission’s review, I have several additional comments: Ms. Polverento insists on excellent customer service and runs her department efficiently. She consistently looks for ways to improve service.
Ms. Polverento is involved throughout the county in various boards and committees. She has handled the increasingly technical work delegated to her in an efficient and professional manner. It is time for Ms. Polverento to advance her personnel management skills with targeted education.
I continue to find Ms. Polverento to be an essential part of the Watertown Township management team and an asset to the township.
Recommended Actions:
To receive and place on file the performance appraisal for the Planning Director.

RE: Township Triathlon
Watertown Township has held an annual triathlon before the Memorial Day program. The three legs of the triathlon were biking, canoeing and running. The canoes for the event were provided by the Harlow family for years at no cost to the township. The township was able to run the event in heats of 8 teams (that was how many canoes were available) and the family allowed our staff to use their equipment to run the canoes back for the next heat.
The township has looked into the availability of canoes to cover the event and found it difficult to get information because the companies are closed until spring. The costs that we can estimate based on their websites make it prohibitive to have it as a leg of the event. The best rate was $20/hr per canoe, but until they open we have no way of knowing if they offer delivery and how much it would cost. Registration for the event has been $30 per team in the past and included a t-shirt.
A large draw to the triathlon was the canoe portion of the event. The advertisement for the triathlon would need to be done in the spring issue of the newsletter. Logistically, there are not a lot of options that work to replace that leg of the race.
A few options that come to mind are changing it to a biathlon and removing the river portion, or adding an additional element. We could look into the possibility of adding a low hurdle/obstacle section (with an option to go around) through the trails in Heritage Park that border the river or adding a rock climbing wall.
The issues are time and the difficulty of finding volunteers to work the event. In order for the event to be successful it needs to be advertised in the newsletter that needs to be to the printer by March 23rd in order for it to reach residents with Dump Your Junk information.
At this time it would be my recommendation to offer the triathlon as a biathlon and in the event the township can add something to the event to make it more interesting, staff be given the flexibility to do so.
Watertown Charter Township March 21, 2016 Board of Trustees Meeting NB12
Recommended Action: Move approval of a biathlon, removing the river portion of the event for 2016, due to the issues with securing canoes for the event, and authorizing staff to have the flexibility to add elements to the event if possible.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources Chronic Wasting Disease Report: The Watertown Township Parkway currently has had three deer taken from the property. At this time none have been positive for CWD. There was an additional positive result from a deer taken in section 16 of the township. The DNR would like to hold an informal meeting with residents in the area.
