Re: Beaver Island's Master Plan
Thank you Pam for posting the Master Plan I had asked about on a previous post. The "unknowns" are important to understand. You are so correct! That is why asking direct questions should be welcomed by both sides. I had an opportunity to look it over and it is beautiful! What a wonderful j...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Since Richie chose to take down some of the post where Kirk attacked yet again...I have had to again edit for the good old boys.

Wow...Kraig says I opened a can of ..... on the other thread Bob Tidmores also replied on the other thread... Bob's reply: The current zoning ordinances are fairly similar and I don't see a lot of work to consolidate them The current land uses are established by ordinances and are on each townships ...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Richie, I have a question, if the consolidation happens what happens to current zoning laws? Each township has their own guidelines and zoning rules. From what I researched prior to buying on the island the zoning laws are very unique to each township. Some concerns for property owners may be: Would...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
, Thank you for your response. My point is Joe...you do not pay 1000% more over a 20 year period than me as you stated. I do not want voters and taxpayers to be misguided. If I have to pay 9% more on joint services I have no issue with that. Hopefully the township leaders will discuss this and recti...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
In regards to the Carols above post: Here are some things to consider: Take a look at the ACTUAL YEAR ends for 2017. Compare them side by side. Each township is unique and runs thier books based on thier spending habits and needs. The needs of each township vary. Year end is March 2017, so the towns...

Re: Thanks Bill
Ken, Ken, Ken... You created this page for others to insult you, per your words!! Not for you to keep coming after Tracey. Tracey is a beautiful person as well, and does not deserve this ongoing attack. You take the insults to a level that is beyond okay. Come on Ken... As far as your person needing...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Joe I understand you are putting consolidation aside. But to raise my tax base 9% and lower yours on the whole pot is not equal. I am just struggling to understand the math. So you are saying for every 1000 I spend ( before my non-homestead is added) on JOINT projects in my tax base you spend $1,250...

Podcast
Richie,
Is there a way to listen to the podcast after? I can not see a link at the radio station. Also do you know if Saturday's meeting is going to be taped or broadcasted for people off the island?
Thanks
Kathe

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Joe Are you saying you paid 1,000 more for the 17 year period? The equates to 58.82 more per year. Why only till 2011? What happened from 2011 to 2018? If my taxes go up 9% a year my taxes will go up approximately $432.00 per year or estimate of $7300 in the same 17 yr period. Unless I am doing the ...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Mike I agree 100%. I have moved on and Carol keeps personally addressing me. I have limited my responses to her questions and comments directed at me. I posted my opinion in the correct thread and was attacked by her in this one. So am I to understand only the few chosen ones are allowed to voice op...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Carol No humor intended. I stand by my belief. It is irresponsible to bring this to the voters with such poor planning and lack of facts. Your comment, " Lets start with what we have and go from there because it is all there is. It will be a vote and that cannot be changed now" speaks volu...
