A new battle begins

HELP PROTECT FORKS FARMLAND PRESERVATION DISTRICT

On Monday August 7th and 21st the Forks Township Zoning hearing Board will be meeting to solicit resident feedback on the challenge to the Farmland Preservation District. Zawarski and Sons Development Corp. is suing the residents and taxpayers of Forks Township so they can jam over 3,000 new homes in the Farmland Preservation District that was supposed to be kept as open space.

Please attend two important meetings August 7th and 21st and tell the developer that Forks residents will not be bullied.

  • This proposal will develop 1/3 of the ALL open space we have in Forks.
  • The plan will result in more traffic on our roads, and place a larger burden on our schools and township services.
  • The Farmland Preservation District is intended to protect the rural landscape of Forks. We can’t let developers destroy our quality of life.
“Zoning is one of the tools communities have to try to control their own destinies. Forks must stand its ground and demand compliance with its zoning. There's too much at stake to knuckle under to developers who don't have to live with the problems their mega-projects create.”
-Express Times Editorial July 3, 2006

Attend the Zoning Hearing Board and tell our leaders that they need to fight to keep the zoning!
