2 Four-Township Geographic Information System Introduction A geographic information system (GIS) is a sophisticated computer-based tool that allows users to access information from a variety of sources to create and analyze high-quality maps Years ago, maps were laboriously hand-drawn on paper with additional layers created on transparent plastic With GIS, those maps can be created in seconds and can greatly assist local officials and others in making land use decisions A GIS was developed for the Four-Township Water Resources Council to assist local government officials and area residents manage and protect local land and water resources GIS can be used to help manage growth by allowing a community to monitor development patterns and analyze their cumulative impact The GIS can also be extremely useful in identifying land with environmental attributes worthy of protection The project is funded with a nonpoint source pollution control grant awarded under Section 319 of the federal Clean Water Act This booklet provides a visual summary of some of the GIS data available for the four townships This GIS was developed by Michigan State University, WK Kellogg Biological Station, in conjunction with the Four-Township Water Resources Council and Progressive AE Additional data were provided by the ern Michigan University GIS Research Center and the Barry County nd Information Systems Department For more information about the GIS or to learn about other available information, contact Dean Solomon, Kellogg Biological Station nd & Water Program, 3700 E Gull Drive, Hickory Corners, MI, Phone The Four-Township Water Resources Council was established to assist with the development and implementation of land use strategies that retain the rural environment currently enjoyed by township residents, protecting las, streams, drinking water, agriculture, and open space For more information about Council activities, contact us at Four-Township Water Resources Council, PO Box 364, Richland, MI

4 s and Streams Map The four township s water resources are diverse and plentiful The four townships contain about 5,300 acres of open water and several highquality streams, including Prairieville Creek, ring Brook, and Augusta Creek Developing land use strategies to protect these valuable resources is one of the Council s top priorities ecial studies of, Crood, Gull, and are currently underway to evaluate their environmental and recreational carrying capacities A complete guide to water resources in the four townships is contained in the Council s Four-Township Water Atlas 3

6 s, Streams and Wetlands Map The wetlands in the four townships have been identified by combining information available from various federal and state agencies Currently, about 10% of the four townships are wetland In addition to fish and wildlife habitat, these wetlands provide many vital functions including groundwater recharge, flood and pollution control, and outdoor recreational opportunities Estimates provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service indicate that about 50% of Michigan s original wetlands have been lost By knowing the location of wetlands, future development can be better planned to avoid wetland impacts 5

8 Septic System Limitation Map While many of the area s larger las, including, Crood, Fair, and Gull, are served by a community sewer system, many of the remaining areas rely on septic systems The adjoining map indicates areas where limitations to placing septic systems exist due to a high water table or poor soil percolation Improperly located or maintained septic systems have the potential to contaminate both surface and groundwater 7

10 Urban nd Map Urbanization of the rural landscape is occurring at a rapid pace within the four townships Between 1960 and 1990, the population of Prairieville and Richland Townships nearly doubled The red areas on this map are places currently in residential, commercial or industrial use Only the areas actually in these uses are mard, not necessarily the whole parcel For instance, if a 10-acre parcel had a house and lawn occupying 2 acres, the remaining 8 acres would be classified as forest, agriculture, open area or some other use The location of the four townships between the urban centers of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Battle Creek and the desire of people to move to the country will undoubtedly stimulate additional development Accommodating future development while maintaining rural character and environmental quality in the four townships will require sound and proactive planning 9

12 Undeveloped Open ace and Forest nd Map The four-townships are fortunate to have substantial areas that are forest and relatively undeveloped open (not used for agriculture) land Open space zoning is a technique that many communities are implementing to preserve open space and protect water resources This approach calls for concentrating development where appropriate and permanently preserving open spaces and forested areas through conservation easements or deed restrictions If properly done, open space zoning can help limit urban sprawl and the impact of development on land and water resources 1

14 Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map One of the GIS system s most useful features is the computer s ability to create overlays In this example, three different maps from different sources of information were created, then combined to create a composite map showing all environmentally sensitive areas in the four-township area For this map, environmentally sensitive areas have been designated as wetlands, steeply sloped lands, and areas within 500 feet of las and streams Development in these areas must be planned to minimize impacts to adjacent water resources Environmentally sensitive areas may be afforded special protection through a zoning technique called an overlay district An overlay district is a zoning district that applies to a specific geographic area, such as a la shoreland or stream corridor In an overlay district, proposed developments must meet all the conditions of the underlying district, in addition to the provisions set forth in the overlay district 13

16 Richland Township Parcels Less Than or Equal to 20 Acres This map shows trends in land ownership in Richland Township Parcels equal to, or smaller than 20 acres are highlighted, because they are most lily residential and no longer used for agriculture Development trends are similar in Ross, Prairieville and Barry Townships Urban sprawl and the conversion of prime farmland are occurring statewide A recent study of land use trends noted that, at current growth rates, as much land will be urbanized between 1990 and 2020 as was occupied in 1990 The study pointed out that farmland losses would be most pronounced in the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Traverse City areas At the state level, several strategies are currently being discussed to curb sprawl and preserve farmland These include tax incentives and land use policies and programs that encourage development where infrastructure is most available 15
