Grosse Ile Open Space &
Environmental Regulations

Grosse Ile Township has been aggressive in its attempts to preserve the island’s natural areas, wildlife habitat and open space. This has been done largely through efforts to purchase the land under the Township’s open space program.

This open space program is funded through a millage passed for the last several years by Township residents. This program has been very successful and is used as a model elsewhere in the state.

In addition, LSL has assisted with various development regulations that provide tools to help sustain both the quality built and natural environment, while protecting the features that create a sense of identity for Grosse Ile Township. These include:

• Zoning Ordinance
• Waterfront Regulations
• Subdivision and Condominium Ordinances
• Roads and Driveways Ordinance
• Wetlands & Waterways Protection Ordinance
• Stormwater Ordinance
