Summary

The July issue reports that both Beaver Island townships elected to issue zoning-use permits under the newly adopted Michigan Sand Dune Law while they prepared local ordinances for critical dune areas.

Evidence limits

This is the Beacon’s account of the permit process; it does not establish each permit, the final local ordinances, or a complete critical-dune map.
