PREFACE

This volume contains the Zoning Ordinance of the Township of Yankee Springs, Barry County, Michigan, originally effective November 29, 1979.

The zoning ordinance, as amended through April 14, 2005, has been printed as submitted by the Township except the sections and subsections have been renumbered and/or relettered as directed by the Township. Amendatory ordinances subsequent to April 14, 2005, have been included. Obvious misspellings and punctuation errors have been corrected without notation. Words or phrases added by the editor for purposes of clarification are enclosed in brackets.

Amendatory Legislation

A feature of this publication that is particularly useful is the Table of Amendments located at the back of this volume. Any amendatory legislation may be located therein by number and date of enactment, and the sections or subsections amended will be listed. In addition, the sources of any amendments to a section are listed in a parenthetical history note following the amended section. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is derived unamended from the zoning ordinance as originally submitted for publication.

Index

As part of the publication project, a comprehensive index was prepared. Each particular subject has been placed under several headings, some couched in lay phraseology and others in legal terminology. There are numerous cross references within the index which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

Another special feature of this volume is the supplemental service, by which the publication will be periodically kept up to date. Upon the final passage of amendments, they will be properly edited and the page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication with instructions for the manner of inserting the pages and deleting the obsolete pages. The instruction sheet for the most current supplement should be placed in the front of the volume, and it is recommended that deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference.
