AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE PORT SHELDON TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS:
Road and Highway Setbacks. Section 4.27 of the Port Sheldon Township Zoning Ordinance (the “Zoning Ordinance”) is deleted in its entirety and marked “Reserved” as follows:
Section 4.27 Reserved
Yard Encroachments. Section 4.28.6 of the Zoning Ordinance shall be revised to state in its entirety as follows:
Uncovered walks, patios and driveways, and Parking Areas; landscaping; Fences; retaining walls; uncovered stairs providing direct access to the Lake Michigan shoreline; and similar customary and incidental Yard uses and Structures may be located in any required Yard.
Fences. Section 4.37.1 of the Zoning Ordinance shall be revised to state in its entirety as follows.:
No Fence shall be Erected or constructed prior to the issuance of a Zoning Compliance permit. In order to obtain such a permit, evidence of a survey, and evidence of Existing property stakes must be furnished to the Zoning Administrator. If deemed appropriate by the Zoning Administrator, survey stakes placed by a registered land surveyor may be required when the property line cannot be visually determined using Existing property stakes. This may be required to avoid future conflicts on the location of the proposed Fence.
