Purchase of Development Rights

​RESIDENTS OF PENINSULA TOWNSHIP: The township has taken steps to make its website interactive and ADA compliant. In the process, documents such as minutes, agendas, board packets, forms, ordinances, and the like were eliminated due to the extraordinary cost of converting the information to ADA standards. At the request of residents, these non-compliant ADA documents may now be accessed on this page. Residents who need extra assistance acquiring copies of these documents may contact the Director of Planning and Zoning’s office at 231.223.7314 or planner@peninsulatownship.com.

Which application should I fill out?
If you are a new applicant, whose parcel is not currently encumbered by an existing conservation easement fill out PDR DOC #1- NEW
An addition to the updated ordinance was the ability to purchase retained development rights from landowners who had sold their development rights in previous rounds.
