Proposed New or Revised General Ordinances
Watercraft Restrictions, Proposal to Amend Section 40-23
The Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees approved an amendment to this existing ordinance that regulates boating on certain lakes in the Township. These ordinances were recommended by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (“DNR”) following public hearings in our community. The intent of Ordinances 679 – 689 is to protect the safety and enjoyment of select lakes within the Township through the implementation of enforceable local watercraft controls. Said controls will require watercraft to operate at slow no-wake speeds. At the Board’s regular meeting on April 24, 2024, the Township decided to adopt the DNR’s recommended ordinances and appeal the DNR’s decision for the larger waterbodies of Wing Lake, Gilbert Lake, Forest Lake, Lower Long Lake, and Island Lake. Efforts will be made to pursue establishing a “no motorboat” ordinance for these larger lakes through the DNR.
This is a summary of the ordinances, the project, and upcoming steps.
