ORDINANCE NO. 129-3
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF CLARKSTON ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 129 TO PROVIDE FOR LAKE ACCESS REGULATION OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE LIMITED USE OVERLAY DISTRICT
THE CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF CLARKSTON ORDAINS:
Section 1:01. Article XXV, Special Land Uses, Section 25.10.B.35.f is amended to substitute the following:
f. Uses and Activities for Property Abutting a Water Body.
Purpose: The water bodies situated in the City are small, with relatively low environmental and recreational carrying capacities, and may be adversely affected by the introduction of new and significant use. Accordingly, considering that the subject property is situated in a single family neighborhood, if the subject property abuts a water body such as a natural or artificial lake, pond, or stream, the exercise of riparian rights and any other access shall be compatible with use and activities similar to normal and customary single-family residential use. If the predominant use of the subject property is approved as non-residential, the standards set forth herein regarding water body access regulation are deemed to be important and necessary in order to balance the interests of the owner of the overlay approved property and people in the neighborhood and the waterfront residents on the water body.
In the application of these regulations, the following restrictions shall apply:
1) “Access” for purposes of this section shall mean access to the water body for swimming, fishing, boating, or any other recreational or non-recreational purpose.
2) Not more than one permanent or seasonal dock of not more than twenty-five (25) feet in length and eight (8) feet in width may be established. Not more than one (1) off-shore raft with dimensions not to exceed one hundred (100) square feet shall be permitted. For purposes of this section, “dock” means a platform structure extending from the area of the normal high water mark of the water body into the water, intended to provide access for swimming and fishing. A dock permitted under this section shall not be used for the mooring of more than two (2) watercrafts. No other watercraft may be stored on or launched from the property or moored off the shore of the property.
3) Residential Users. If an approved special land use authorizes Access for residential users, Access shall be limited to full time residents of the property; such residents’ family; and their occasional guests accompanied by a resident.
4) Non-Residential Users.
(a) It is the intent of this ordinance to permit non-residential Access which is no more intense than the customary usage of a single-family residence on the particular water body considering average seasonal use and customary holiday usage.
(b) Access for a non-residential use shall be restricted to a business that is the exclusive and single user of the property subject to the following restrictions:
(i) The use shall not create a nuisance to residences in the neighborhood or on the water body.
(ii) The following persons are authorized to have Access:
(A) If a business entity owns the business, the natural person who is the principal owner of the business entity with more than a 50% interest in the business entity (the “Principal Owner”);
(B) The Principal Owner’s family;
(C) Occasional guests of the Principal Owner, accompanied by the Principal Owner or a member of the Principal Owner’s family;
(D) Individuals who work at the business on the property; and
(E) Occasional business guests of individuals who work at the business on the property, who must be accompanied by either the Principal Owner or by an individual who works at the business on the property.
(iii) Access under subparagraphs (ii)(D) and (E) is limited to sunrise to sunset.
(iv) If, following approval for such a user, the building becomes occupied by more than a single non-residential user, the Access approval shall thereupon expire and be of no effect to all persons.
5) The permission in this section is subject to any other more restrictive ordinance and law.
Section 2:01. Savings Clause:
All pending proceedings and all existing rights and liabilities acquired or incurred at the time this ordinance takes effect are saved and may be consummated according to the law when they were commenced.
Section 3:01. Repealer Clause.
All ordinances or pails of ordinances and policies of the city in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are repealed to the extent necessary to give this ordinance full force.
Section 4:01. Severability Clause.
If a court declares any part of this ordinance to be invalid or unenforceable, that shall not effect the validity or enforceability of the balance of this ordinance.
Section 5:01. Effective Date.
This ordinance is effective 20 days after publication.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of the Village of Clarkston on 12-12-2011.

SUMMARY CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING March 5, 2007
Meeting called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor Catallo.
Roll. Present: Catallo, Brueck, Colombo, Gawronski, Johnston, Ottman, Rausch.
Absent: None.
Mayor Catallo noted that ‘Public Comments? was not on the Agenda. She asked that it be inserted.
Moved That the Public Comments be added to the Agenda and limited to three minutes each.
Moved That the Agenda be approved as amended.
Attorney Arnold Shifman objected to the Agenda presented as it did not provide for Public Comments. Mr. Shifman stated that Public Comments should be on the Agenda prior to the meeting. Mr. Shifman told Council that reducing Public Comments from five minutes to three minutes was in direct violation of the Open Meetings Act by amending the rules to decide how much time is given to Public Comments. Mr. Shifman also stated that Chief Combs was not an at-will employee but rather an administrative employee under the management of the City Manager who sets work hours, conditions, etc., for these individuals.
Mr. Shifman complained about the procedure the Council was taking in terminating Ernest Combs as Chief of Police. Mr. Shifman said the Chief of Police was entitled to a full hearing and a hearing should be set up.
Tom Stone commented that while putting up the City signs he had an opportunity to talk with residents about the Police Department and none of the comments from residents were complimentary. Stone stated that the chief complaint was that Police Department was not as visible as it should be. The Chief was asked for the Police Policies and Procedures manual, but the Police Committee was never provided this item. Stone felt that Chief Combs was more interested in criminalizing community behavior.
Officer Brian York stated that he had worked for the City in 2000 for ten and a half months for Chief Paul Ormiston when he first was introduced to Ernest Combs. Officer York stated that there was no reason to fire Chief Combs. Officer York came back to work for the City from the Pontiac Police Department in August of 2006.
Bill Kostich of Deer Hills Drive stated that he has lived in the area since 1974. He said that he had seen Clarkston Police vehicles outside the City. Mr. Kostich stated that the Chief and another Police officer were rude to him. Mr. Kostich contested the citation given to him, but it was upheld. Mr. Kostich stated that Chief Combs had no business being Chief of Police.
Gary Claudio, Reserve Officer for three years, stated that the number of officers present spoke volumes on how the officers felt about Chief Combs.
Don Engle spoke in favor of Chief Combs as his friend. Engle felt that Chief Combs made himself visible and worked on the ‘Toys for Tots? drive and he believes that the Chief has done a good job.
Mayor Catallo commented that the decision was made to use Council Department Liaisons to avoid individual Council members dealing with Department heads. Concerns about departments were to be funneled through the Department Liaisons. It was felt that this was a more direct approach and would minimize confusion. Mayor Catallo stated that former and present Police Liaisons? messages had been the same and had come from the Council.
Colombo stated that the Police Chief’s position was reduced to a page of statistics every two weeks. Colombo stated that he felt Chief combs was not visible to the residents.
Mayor Catallo noted that outsiders were present; however, there were no representatives from the City of Clarkston business district. Mayor Catallo stated that she felt that the police officers working for Chief combs were good; however, she felt the Chief did not understand what the Council wanted in community policing.
Mayor Catallo further added that she had discussed more police visibility with Chief Combs, especially with the business district, but she did not feel this request was carried out.
Ottman addressed Chief Combs to say, ‘We are a bedroom community that requires a different type of enforcement than what your 20 plus years required at the City of Ferndale. I feel that your prior experience precludes you from giving this community what we desire. Chief, you and I have had very frank discussions about the direction that the police department needs to take and that failed to happen.?
Johnston asked to clarify that Chief Combs was an at-will employee and he defined this as being an employee without a contract. Johnston stated that Public Comments were allowed even if this was not on the agenda, and no one was stopped from making public comments and they were not timed.
Johnston stated that everyone was given a chance to speak and everything was done with full public knowledge of everyone, no one was cut off.
Johnston stated that if the Council did not have the right to hire and fire, then it could not do its job; that is why the Council is elected. Johnston stated that if some procedures were not followed too closely it was not to malign anyone, the Council is trying to do what is best for the City.
Resolved In the best interests of the City of the Village of Clarkston, that the employment of Chief Ernest Combs be terminated at the end of his shift of Monday, March 5, 2007, at 7:30 p.m.
Resolved That the City Manager be directed to follow through the resolution of the Council.
Meeting adjourned at 7:03 p.m.

D.P.W. Supervisor Pursley reported that Spring cleaning had started with reconditioning the picnic tables in Depot Park. Tree trimming has been begun. Pursley reported that the D.P.W. has begun repair work on curbs; however, some of the maintenance and repairs require warmer weather for completion. Some of the sidewalk repairs have failed due to the materials used. Pursley reported that more reliable repair materials have been acquired.

Independence Township D.P.W. Supervisor Linda Richardson discussed the maintenance funds and the City would be responsible for funding any repairs due to a catastrophic sewer failure. After discussion it was determined that the sewer maintenance charges did not cover catastrophic sewer repairs and Ms. Richardson stated the maintenance fund did not cover relining of sewer lines.
