About the Master Plan
Peaine Township's extensive effort to take the pulse of its residents
is starting to pay off. Last year its Planning Commission conducted
study groups in which it solicited input about the kind of future
they desired for the Island, and now that information has been
collated and analyzed. Some of the interesting ideas:
Most of Peaine’s residents want it to remain rural and wooded;
Of the nine issues, protecting the environment ranked first;
Junk, trash, and debris should be removed, and green belts planted
around businesses;
No lots should be created that are less than ten acres;
Most groups favored dirt roads over blacktop–but with dust
control;
Access to state land should be improved, and labeled with signs;
Many wanted to hurry the Peaine Fire Station, with space for
the EMS;
Groups were split on the value of developing the Township Airport;
And at each step, make sure the public continues to have a voice.
