SECTION 1. ADDITION OF NEW SECTION 33

A new Section 33 entitled “Violations Enforcement Policy” shall be added to Ordinance #01/2020 which shall read, in its entirety, as follows:

SECTION 33: VIOLATIONS ENFORCEMENT POLICY

a) Purpose.

The purpose of this policy is to provide County Park Staff a process for addressing violations of the Newaygo County Parks Ordinance Rules and Regulations. This Violations Enforcement Policy will set forth the process and procedure for violations of all Park policies. Nothing in this policy will prevent Law Enforcement from lawfully enforcing the County Parks Ordinance.

b) Parks and Recreation Director/Designee’s Right to Suspend Privileges.

Pursuant to this Policy, upon determining that a Park policy has been violated, the Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s designee may restrict access to Park Property with immediate dismissal of the patron from the Park Property, by suspending the patron’s access to Park Property, or by denying access to specific services and/or programs. When appropriate, law enforcement may be called to intervene or assist Park Staff.

I. Incident Reports. Park staff shall record in writing in the form of an Incident Report any violation of this Policy that may result in a suspension of Park privileges. 

II. Violation of the Policy – Suspension of Privileges. Unless otherwise provided in this Ordinance, the Park shall handle violations as follows:

1. Initial Violation: Park patrons or groups observed violating this Policy will be asked to cease the violation with a verbal request and educated about the Policy. 

2. Subsequent Violations: If the park patron or group is observed violating Policy after the initial violation, the Park Manager, Operations Supervisor or Director will make contact to address the additional violation. At that time Park Staff may ask the patron or group to leave immediately or may elect to give a final warning. A final warning shall be made verbally or in writing and shall include an explanation of next steps including removal, and possible trespass proceeding. 

If the patron/group refuses to leave, law enforcement may be contacted.

The Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s authorized designee may further institute proceedings to trespass that patron from all parks and properties owned or operated by the Parks Commission. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter to the individual outlining why they are being considered for trespass and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider the trespass. The hearing shall be held promptly following mailing of the trespass warning letter, but not less than seven (7) days. 

If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written statement to be reviewed during the hearing 

The hearing will be held by the Park Board Vice-Chairman and two other Park Commissioners. The committee will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s statement at the scheduled hearing. 

III. Violations that Affect Safety and Security. Violations involving verbal abuse, violence, threatening behaviors, sexual harassment, vandalism, drug sale or use or attempted drug sale or use, intoxication, theft or attempted theft, physical harassment, sexual misconduct, or any behavior that threatens the safety and security of staff and/or patrons shall be handled as follows:

1. Violation: Law enforcement will be called immediately if the conduct constitutes a violation of local, state, or federal law; arrest or criminal prosecution may ensue. Violations of this nature will result in an immediate suspension of Park privileges and trespass from Park Property. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter within ten business (10) days to the individual outlining why they are being trespassed and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider extending the trespass. The hearing shall be held not less than seven (7) days, but not more than thirty (30) days following mailing of the trespass warning letter. The hearing shall be held in the same manner as set forth in section b(II)(2) above.

IV. Reinstatement. The patron whose privileges have been limited or suspended (and the patron’s parent or guardian if the patron is a minor) may elect to appeal the initial decision pursuant to the Appeal Procedure outlined in the Park Commission Bylaws and listed below. 

c) Right of Appeal.

Following proceedings under Section b(II)(2) or after a decision to extend or modify under Section b(III)(1), Patrons may appeal (1) a decision to limit or suspend privileges or (2) the conditions placed on reinstatement, by sending a written appeal to the Parks and Recreation Director within ten (10) business days of the date of the suspension or trespass. The Director will notify the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission of the appeal request. The decision of the Parks and Recreation Commission is final.

d) Appeal Procedure.

All appeals shall follow the Appeal Process as outlined in the current Park Commission Bylaws. Below is a copy of that Policy:

I. Appeal is requested by violator in writing to the Parks and Recreation Director. 

II. The Board Chair will set an appeal hearing date, time, and location and mail the violator a letter describing the location, date and time. The hearing may not be sooner than 7 days after the letter is sent to the violator. 

1. If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written appeal to be reviewed during the hearing 

2. If the violator fails to appear at the hearing or file an appeal within the ten (10) day appeal period, the original decision is final and may not be re-appealed.

III. The Appeals Committee hearing the appeal will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s appeal at the scheduled appeal hearing. The Appeals Committee shall consist of a group of three Park Commissioners including the Chair of the Park Board and two others. None of the three members of the Appeals Committee shall be the same as those who served at the trespass hearing set forth in section b above. 

IV. The Appeals Committee will make a recommendation to do the following to the Parks Board: overturn the original decision, modify the penalty, or affirm the original decision. 

V. The Appeals Committee will designate one member to serve as a representative. The Appeals Committee representative will present the recommendation to the Parks Board at the next scheduled meeting. The Parks Board will not hold another hearing on the appeal.

VI. The Parks Board will then vote to approve, deny or modify the Appeals Committee’s recommendation at the next available Parks Board meeting following the appeal hearing. The Parks Board may ask the appellant/violator questions regarding the appeal, but the appellant/violator is not entitled to make further presentation on the appeal other than during the general public comment portion of the Parks Board meeting.

VII. All decisions voted on by the Parks Board are final and may not be re-appealed. 

SECTION 2. VALIDITY AND SEVERABILITY

If any portion of this Ordinance is found invalid for any reason, such holding will not affect the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

ENSLEY TOWNSHIP NEWAYGO COUNTY, MICHIGAN (Short-Term Rentals) (Ordinance No. 2024-7) At a special meeting of the Township Board for Ensley Township held at the Township offices on July 23, 2024, beginning at 7:30 p.m., this Ordinance/ordinance amendment was offered for adoption by Township Board Member Harwood and was seconded by Township Board Member Hills: AN ORDINANCE/ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE ENSLEY TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED, REGARDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS. THE TOWNSHIP OF ENSLEY (the “TOWNSHIP”) ORDAINS: Article 1 – Intent and Legislative History. The current Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance (the “Zoning Ordinance”), and the past zoning ordinances for Ensley Township, have expressly allowed short-term rentals (“STR’s,” as defined below) only in the commercial zoning districts. Article 2 – Findings. The Township Board hereby finds that there are potentially many problems and negative consequences associated with STR’s that are not located within the commercial zoning districts. Such negative and adverse impacts can include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Article 3 – The following definitions of a “Short-Term Rental” and “STR Lot” are hereby added to Section 2.19 (Definitions - S) of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended: Short-Term Rental (“STR”): A dwelling unit, cabin, cottage or house that is available for rental, leasing, or use for habitation, accommodation or lodging of guests paying a fee, charge or other compensation or consideration, for a period of less than 30 consecutive days and nights at a time. STR Lot: Any lot or parcel with an STR dwelling or use present or occurring thereon. Article 4 – The following new and additional Section 3.__ is hereby added to the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended: Section 3. Short- Term Rentals. A. There shall be no more than 15 STR Lots in total within Ensley Township (except for those in the C-Commercial zoning district). The permissible STR Lots shall be allowed, allocated and located as follows: (1) Five (5) STR Lots with frontage on Baptist Lake or located within 1,200 feet of Baptist Lake. (5 STR Lots allowed in total) (2) Three (3) STR Lots with frontage on Englewright Lake or located within 1,200 feet of Englewright Lake. (3 STR Lots allowed in total) (3) All other areas of the Township. (7 STR Lots allowed in total) (1) Areas zoned as C-Commercial - For properties located in areas zoned as C Commercial, there is no limit on STR Lots and shall not be counted for purposes of the 15 STR Lots maximum. (2) There shall be no other STR Lots within Ensley Township except for the areas and numbers as expressly allowed above. B. For purposes of which STR Lots come within the allocated or allowed totals specified in Subsection A hereof above, priority shall be given to those STR Lots (and the STR activities and usage on such lots) which have been lawfully operating within the Township for the longest consecutive and continued period of time. Any STR Lot with an existing STR use, activity or structure which has had any of the following characteristics shall not be deemed lawfully in existence for purposes of the allowed or allocated total number of STR Lots: (1) The STR dwelling or living unit has been a shed or a trailer, boat, tent, yurt, mobile home or other non-stick built dwelling. (2) The STR dwelling has been rented to or used by more than one family at a time. (3) The dwelling or lot has been used as or for a commercial wedding venue, reunion, party or other gathering or activity which is commercial in nature or for profit. (4) The dwelling has not met applicable building codes, fire safety codes or the maintenance code. * * * After the effective date of the amendment that added this section to this Ordinance, if any STR Lot has not actually been rented or leased as an STR for three (3) consecutive years or longer, it shall lose its priority for purposes of Subsections A and B, above. C. None of the following shall be used as an STR Lot nor be rented or leased for use, habitation or lodging as an STR (or otherwise) unless it is part of an approved lawful campground (and such campground use was or is expressly approved pursuant to a Township zoning approval): (1) Any tent, bunkhouse, yurt, shed, barracks or similar item. (2) Any boat, pontoon, houseboat, barge or other water vessel or watercraft. (3) Any “tiny house” or any dwelling that does not meet the minimum dwelling size requirements of this Ordinance. (4) Any house, dwelling, cottage or cabin that was unlawfully built, expanded or modified. (5) Any camping trailer, recreation vehicle, popup trailer, bus, motorhome or similar item or vehicle. (6) Any lot or parcel with two (2) or more dwellings thereon. (7) Any lot or parcel accessed by or on a joint driveway, access easement or private road. (8) Any dwelling or structure that does not comply with all applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements, building codes, fire safety codes and the maintenance code. D. Every STR and STR Lot shall fully comply with every other Ensley Township ordinance that licenses or regulates STR’s and STR Lots. E. No STR Lot or dwelling shall be occupied or used by more than one (1) family at a time. Article 5 – The following new subsection is hereby added to Section 5.01 of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended, for the A-R Rural Residential zoning district: I. Short-Term Rentals (with limits as set forth elsewhere in this Ordinance).

If any section, clause, or provision of this Ordinance/ordinance amendment is declared to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that declaration shall not affect the remainder of the Ordinance/ordinance amendment. The Township Board hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance/ordinance amendment and each part, section, subsection, phrase, sentence and clause irrespective of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, phrases, sentences or clauses be declared invalid. Article 11 – The Balance of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance (as amended) Remains Unchanged and in Effect. Except as expressly amended by this Ordinance/ordinance amendment, the balance of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended, remains unchanged and in full force and effect. Article 12 – Effective Date. This Ordinance/ordinance amendment shall become effective upon the expiration of seven (7) days after this Ordinance/ordinance amendment (or a summary thereof) appears in the newspaper as provided by law.

Pursuant to this Policy, upon determining that a Park policy has been violated, the Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s designee may restrict access to Park Property with immediate dismissal of the patron from the Park Property, by suspending the patron’s access to Park Property, or by denying access to specific services and/or programs. When appropriate, law enforcement may be called to intervene or assist Park Staff.

I. Incident Reports. Park staff shall record in writing in the form of an Incident Report any violation of this Policy that may result in a suspension of Park privileges. 

II. Violation of the Policy – Suspension of Privileges. Unless otherwise provided in this Ordinance, the Park shall handle violations as follows:

1. Initial Violation: Park patrons or groups observed violating this Policy will be asked to cease the violation with a verbal request and educated about the Policy. 

2. Subsequent Violations: If the park patron or group is observed violating Policy after the initial violation, the Park Manager, Operations Supervisor or Director will make contact to address the additional violation. At that time Park Staff may ask the patron or group to leave immediately or may elect to give a final warning. A final warning shall be made verbally or in writing and shall include an explanation of next steps including removal, and possible trespass proceeding. 

If the patron/group refuses to leave, law enforcement may be contacted.

The Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s authorized designee may further institute proceedings to trespass that patron from all parks and properties owned or operated by the Parks Commission. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter to the individual outlining why they are being considered for trespass and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider the trespass. The hearing shall be held promptly following mailing of the trespass warning letter, but not less than seven (7) days. 

If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written statement to be reviewed during the hearing 

The hearing will be held by the Park Board Vice-Chairman and two other Park Commissioners. The committee will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s statement at the scheduled hearing. 

III. Violations that Affect Safety and Security. Violations involving verbal abuse, violence, threatening behaviors, sexual harassment, vandalism, drug sale or use or attempted drug sale or use, intoxication, theft or attempted theft, physical harassment, sexual misconduct, or any behavior that threatens the safety and security of staff and/or patrons shall be handled as follows:

1. Violation: Law enforcement will be called immediately if the conduct constitutes a violation of local, state, or federal law; arrest or criminal prosecution may ensue. Violations of this nature will result in an immediate suspension of Park privileges and trespass from Park Property. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter within ten business (10) days to the individual outlining why they are being trespassed and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider extending the trespass. The hearing shall be held not less than seven (7) days, but not more than thirty (30) days following mailing of the trespass warning letter. The hearing shall be held in the same manner as set forth in section b(II)(2) above.

IV. Reinstatement. The patron whose privileges have been limited or suspended (and the patron’s parent or guardian if the patron is a minor) may elect to appeal the initial decision pursuant to the Appeal Procedure outlined in the Park Commission Bylaws and listed below. 

c) Right of Appeal.

Following proceedings under Section b(II)(2) or after a decision to extend or modify under Section b(III)(1), Patrons may appeal (1) a decision to limit or suspend privileges or (2) the conditions placed on reinstatement, by sending a written appeal to the Parks and Recreation Director within ten (10) business days of the date of the suspension or trespass. The Director will notify the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission of the appeal request. The decision of the Parks and Recreation Commission is final.

d) Appeal Procedure.

All appeals shall follow the Appeal Process as outlined in the current Park Commission Bylaws. Below is a copy of that Policy:

I. Appeal is requested by violator in writing to the Parks and Recreation Director. 

II. The Board Chair will set an appeal hearing date, time, and location and mail the violator a letter describing the location, date and time. The hearing may not be sooner than 7 days after the letter is sent to the violator. 

1. If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written appeal to be reviewed during the hearing 

2. If the violator fails to appear at the hearing or file an appeal within the ten (10) day appeal period, the original decision is final and may not be re-appealed.

III. The Appeals Committee hearing the appeal will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s appeal at the scheduled appeal hearing. The Appeals Committee shall consist of a group of three Park Commissioners including the Chair of the Park Board and two others. None of the three members of the Appeals Committee shall be the same as those who served at the trespass hearing set forth in section b above. 

IV. The Appeals Committee will make a recommendation to do the following to the Parks Board: overturn the original decision, modify the penalty, or affirm the original decision. 

V. The Appeals Committee will designate one member to serve as a representative. The Appeals Committee representative will present the recommendation to the Parks Board at the next scheduled meeting. The Parks Board will not hold another hearing on the appeal.

VI. The Parks Board will then vote to approve, deny or modify the Appeals Committee’s recommendation at the next available Parks Board meeting following the appeal hearing. The Parks Board may ask the appellant/violator questions regarding the appeal, but the appellant/violator is not entitled to make further presentation on the appeal other than during the general public comment portion of the Parks Board meeting.

VII. All decisions voted on by the Parks Board are final and may not be re-appealed. 

SECTION 2. VALIDITY AND SEVERABILITY

If any portion of this Ordinance is found invalid for any reason, such holding will not affect the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
