MU SI G · RA D CLEMENS GAR.DENS: A PUBLIC LEGACY Ann Marie Johnson This the is describes the history and e olution of the Munsinger and Clemens Gardens mun: ,;ipal gardens lo ated in outhcast t. Cloud along the east bank of the Mississippi River. During the early 1930 • Munsinger Garden v as established under the direction of the city's first park superintendent, Joseph Munsinger. Approximately half a century later, the Clemens Gardens were developed as a result of the inspiration of St. Cloud's present nursery supervisor, David Morreim, and the patronage of William lemen . a local entrepreneur. ince their inception, th e Mun inger and Clemens Gardens, two seemingly disparate gardens th at arc linked by site, design, and spirit have evolved to become one of the finest municipal garden in the nation. t. loud 's Munsinger and Clemen ardens have become an important part of the city's heritage. In the same way that p ram ids pro ide data on ancient gypt and gothic cathedrals disclo e information on the Middle Ages garden rev al insights about the cultures in which they were created and maintained. As gardens are considered one of the highest representations of civilization and culture, t. Cloud's gardens represent both the fine ans ofhorticulnire and garden de ign as well as th e community's interest in civic beautification and the dedication and horticultural kills of their creators. The hi tory of the Munsinger and ' lemens Gardens provides a cultural record of th e values and beliefs of its community and reflects the trPnd in American garden de ign during the twentieth century. ~ -~I Month ~roved b Resear h 'AJan t .

Fisher Mill prologue This book came about as a spin-off of Glen Arbor’s Bicentennial celebration. Gathering infor- mation about historical landmarks for county recognition, locating photos and relics for the mini- museum, tape recording the memories of senior citizens, we re-discovered a vivid past. Many younger members of the community were fasci- nated too. Glen Arbor Township never grew to the greatness of Ann Arbor, or to the fame of other “Glens” and “Harbors” in Michigan.

  • Chapter 5 Significant Issues and Trends
    CHAPTER 5 SIGNIFICANT ISSUES AND TRENDS This chapter discusses issues and trends that are important to the future of Glen Arbor Township. It looks at significant issues in four broad categories: 1. Community character; 2. Infrastructure improvement needs; 3. Affordable housing; 4. Intergovernmental relations. Within each category a variety of issues are addressed ranging from residential development and its relationship to commercial development, the limited amount of land available for new development, waste treatment, the protection of natural features and natural resources, and a suitable alternative location for the boat launch and the Glen Arbor village boat launch status among others. Alternative approaches to address these issues are discussed and recommended actions are suggested here and summarized in Chapter 9. Community Character Overview The most significant set of issues facing Glen Arbor Township relate to preservation of existing community character. The Township is a highly attractive tourist, recreation and second home destination, with private development concentrated on a limited area due to extensive public land holdings, and all of the lands and the natural resource attractions are sensitive to the impacts of development. This means that while there is pressure to intensify development in areas where, if development doesn’t tread lightly, the very resources that attract people to the area—the lakes, woods and dunes—will be degraded. Thus, there is growing concern over development that is too dense with too much lot coverage and mass to be safe for the environment (especially for groundwater and surface water runoff). There are also aesthetic dimensions to this character. When building mass becomes too great relative to the parcel size and out of scale with development on land around it, then the northwoods community character, so cherished by residents and visitors, suffers as well.

    Art Speaks Water: Love Letters to the Lakes Prepared for the International Joint Commission on Great Lakes Triennial Assessment and Public Participation on the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement Traverse City, Michigan July 24-25, 2019 Love letters sponsored by FLOW and written by concerned citizens, writers, poets, artists, children and a couple of spirited animals 2 What Did You Do? Who can own this blue-blessed blessing, this wide-as-night liquid body, this life-making water that comes in the shape of waves that sculpt our very souls? And how will we answer our children who will need it to answer their own thirsts, who will ask the question we all must carry: what did you do with our precious water? Anne-Marie Oomen 3 To the Commissioners of the International Joint Commission of the Great Lakes How the Love Letters to the Lakes came to be We heard the news. You, the commissioners, were coming. Your visit became catalyst and springboard for hope. But what could we who are not scientists, lawyers, politicians, lobbyists, or professional advocates, we who hold no titles—what could we ordinary citizens do to show that the lakes mean more to us than commodity, more than resource, more than means to money? How could we express that for us water is life and communal, that it is to be protected and kept clean for all, that we must defend its clarity, use is wisely, and reuse it with integrity. The words, write love letters, came from Liz Kirkwood, director of FLOW, our beloved organization that works for these waters.
