Officials discuss the future of development, land use BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com
Planning about planning was the focus of discussion at a special meeting among Sterling Heights officials over the direction of how the city’s land will be used in the future. Members of the Sterling Heights City Council, administration, Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals shared ideas and discussed the city’s master plan, zoning and related issues during a special May 9 meeting. Mayor Michael Taylor said the meeting’s purpose was to get officials on the same page as the city progresses toward its next master planning process. City Manager Mark Vanderpool said the master land use plan is a “guiding light” for future city development. He said it’s important to stay focused on the city’s current master plan, which he said was formed in 2017, while “we’re getting to the next level.” See LAND on page 20A

We scurry off the ferries right into the heart of downtown Mackinac Island, rent a bicycle for the traditional loop around the island, and then spend a few hours searching for souvenirs and fudge. We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock. While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to
this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native American, European and American history. And while Mackinac evokes images of being lost somewhere in time, there’s always something new to check out. New this season, for example, are: Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub, named after a contractor of Irish descent who helped build a number of important buildings on the island; the See MACKINAC on page 6A
