Commissioners Cindy Carpenter and T.C. Rogers said the plan doesn’t comport with the township’s land use plan and would have a negative impact on neighbors.
“The high density commercial, recreational uses proposed in the preliminary development plan are likely to adversely impact the existing land uses and have detrimental effects on the surrounding rural and residential developments,” Rogers said. “Particularly with respect to the development’s density and intensity.”
Carpenter said she felt compelled to follow the township’s land use plan.
“I’ve asked several times to have the township trustees address the board to give us their advise and opinion on this matter, they have not done so,” Carpenter said. “At this time that is the only adopted plan that we have for Madison Twp.”
Oakley could not immediately be reached for comment.
