Board meetings and strategic plans from Ada Township
The commission held two public hearings regarding land use proposals. The first hearing concerned a PUD amendment for a residential property on Hidden Cove Drive, where the applicant proposed splitting a parcel into two lots; the commission discussed site density and recommended approval to the Township Board. The second hearing focused on a Planned Village Mixed-Use development plan for a site on Ada Drive and Bradfield Street, featuring single-family homes and townhouses. Discussion centered on site layout adjustments due to topographical challenges, the request for zoning departures regarding lot sizes, and significant revisions to the project's pedestrian connectivity and landscaping plans, including enhanced sidewalk networks connecting to the nearby elementary school.
The board discussed and approved the purchase of seven in-road pedestrian sign assemblies to maintain crosswalk safety during the winter season. The board also reviewed and approved a design and engineering proposal for the Ada Drive streetscape project, which aims to address failing irrigation systems, damaged paver walkways, and invasive, aging trees by incorporating a new tree grate system and improving pedestrian infrastructure.
The board meeting addressed several key business items, including the approval of township warrants and the consideration of multiple change orders and pay applications for infrastructure projects. Specifically, the board reviewed and approved change orders for the Thornapple River pedestrian bridge and the Grand River Drive trail project, including a project decrease and a subsequent increase to accommodate trail repairs. Additionally, the board approved final change order items and a pay application for the Covered Bridge Park project, which involved restroom repairs, light installations, and sidewalk construction, with retainage adjusted to 5%.
