Oppose Rezoning Parcel 08-300-01 in Atlas Township
The citizens of ATLAS TOWNSHIP, Genesee County, Goodrich, Michigan, who have signed this petition oppose the rezoning of Parcel 08-300-01 in Atlas Township. R5 Farms and Zip Lines has purchased 80-acres of property in rural Atlas Township (8164 Perry Rd, Grand Blanc, MI) and has applied for rezoning of the property to become the new home of cricket fields, electric go-karts, and lengthy zip lines. This property is currently zoned as residential suburban agricultural. Those signing this petition are opposed to rezoning this property into an outdoor recreation area and the plans to turn the property into a park for cricket fields, electric go-karts, and lengthy zip lines.
Why is this important?
Atlas Township is a community of "Farms and Family," and this pending outdoor recreation area is not in alignment with this type of setting for our community. In addition, a country-like subdivision of 30 homes is directly across from the identified property along with several surrounding homes whose property will be adjacent to or in close proximity to this proposed park. This will create traffic congestion in an area that is already becoming a danger, noise pollution, and additional wear and tear on the roads. An outdoor recreation park of this nature will detract from the serene, country-living for area residents.
