                <text>David C. Bloye was born on September 2, 1940, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In September 1957 he enlisted in the Navy Reserve and began his active reserve duty while still in high school. After graduating from high school he received two weeks of basic training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois. In early 1959 he applied for his two years of active duty and on March 17, 1959, he reported for active duty. He served aboard the USS Norfolk (DL-1) and went on anti-submarine exercises on the Pacific Coast, the Caribbean Sea, and in the North Atlantic. His active duty ended on January 19, 1961, and his inactive reserve duty ended two years after that. In March 1974 he reenlisted in the Navy Reserve, and after applying for a direct commission became a lieutenant junior grade. He served at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan, for 20 years with a Navy Intelligence unit. In August 1994 he became the commanding officer of an intelligence unit and did that until his retirement on July 1, 1996.</text>

�December 15, 1988
Blue Lake Tovmship Board
Blue Lake Township, Kalkaska County
Kalkaska, r-1ichigan 49646

Dear Board Members:
It is with pleasure that we hereby submit to the Blue Lake
Township Board this updated "Easter Plan of Development for
Blue Lake Township, Kalkaska County.• It has been under prep:i;_tration since March ,1988 when the Blue Lake Township Planning

Commission began meeting in workshop sessions every two

weeks. It provides a basis on which sound development
decisions can be reached over the next twenty-five years.
The cooperation of the Township officials and other citizens
who have participated in the discussions and writine of the
plan is sincerely appreciated. It is regrettable that more
people did not participate.

The r-:.aster Plan of Development must be reviewed and revised
again periodically so it may rei'lect changing conditions
and public policies as this plan did to the original plan
drawn up in October,1975 .

Sincerely Submitted
Threasa Scott

THE MASTER PLAN"
BLUE LAKE TOWNSHIP
KALKASKA COUNTY
1988 -2013

�INTRODUCTION

THE MASTER PLAN
To gain the support for a Master Plan of Development, it is of
greatest importance that the general public understand what a Master
Plan really is.
It is the result of a careful examination of the physical, social
and economic coniditions of the community.
It is a guide, as seen at the present time, to the future growth and
development of Blue Lake Township.
The Master Plan attempts to express the ideal situation in terms of
existing condition, growth possibilities and accepted planning procedures. At the present time it is necessary for the plan to be flexible
enough to allow for changing future conditions so that new demands
f_pr services can be met by the community. It is not, therefore, a
rigid, unflexible, unalterable blue-print for the future development
to be follovred in spite of whatever may happen in the future. Its
£unction is to aid in furtherin g the general welfare of the people
of Blue Lake Township.

PREPARATION AUD CONT:\OLS
The basic resposibili ty for the development of' a r,:aster Plan of
Development is given to the Planning Commission of the township by
Act 168 of the Public Acts of the Michigan State Legislative, 1959.
The Planning Commission for Blue Lake Township has given much time and
effort in developing this plan without any thought of compensation,
but it is hoped that the people of the community will accept it as
a plan only and not as an accomplished fact.

�Community ~lanning is actually controlled by the voters of the
township through the election of township officers and their
power of recall. In puttine into effect the recommendation of
community planning, the tovmship board is the final authority.
The Planning Commission only recommends but does so ·.based on
the study of facts and t~eir analysis. It is of great importance
then, that property ovmers and especially resident registered
voters attend meetings -of the Tm,mship :Soard where they may
become informed of the plans as they develop and express their

Cor&lt;rNUNITY PLArTI:TIHG d:.si,t0riderned with the solving of existing,
foreseen and even unforeseen physical, social and economic conditions of the community. Its aim is to gain the most agreeable and
harmonious state of affairs possible among these factors. Early
planning can prevent duplication of effort and avoid competition
for land and funds, both:-of which in this township are in short
supply. Even more important, community planning can influence
the stabilization, conservation and improvemet~ of private property
in the township as well as it's natural resources.

To be most effective, the Master Plan must have the joint partic ...
ipation of property owners, the Township Board and its appointive
officials, and the Planning Commission.

�RESOURCE MATERIAL

Much time and effort have been spent by the Blue Lake Township
Planning Commission in preparing and collecting maps and other
information needed for developing a Master Plan for Blue Lake
Township. Listed below are some of those materials that are
presently available.

TOPOG~APIIICAL MAP ( S:SE PAGE 5-A )

This map drawn four inches to the mile, shows the distance above
sea level of the various lakes and high lands in the different parts
of the township, with their slopes shown in steps of 3 meters
(a.,ppr0x:Lma te~y 10 ft.) in elevation. Since so much of the use and
development of the land in the township is influenced by the topo:- .
graphical characteristics,this map was chosen as the basis map
for planning.

ZONHW MAP (PAG:2 5-B)

The last completely revised zoning ordinance was May 13, 1976.
Some revisions have been made since, but the zoning map indicates
fivemajor categories of zoning.(See legend code at bottom of map.)

4

�STATE FOREST MAP( SEE PAGE 5-C)
Approximately eighty-five(85) percent of the land in the township is
owned by the state and is shown as state forest lands. This only leaves
fifteen(15) percent over which the Planning Commission, through the ~ownship Board, can have any control. Also, a quick reference to the zoning
map and state forest map quickly impresses on anyone that the 15 percent
of the land we can control is fairly well developed, especially lakeshore
and residential. The majority of residential and lakeshore development
is ovmed by property ovmers from dm·m state who use these properties as
vacation residences •

.~WADS I-:AP ( S3E PAG3 5... D)
This map has been supplied by the Kalkaska County Road Commission. It
shows the trails as legal roads over \•rhich the county has control and on
which the commission does maintenance work. As we continue to eain more
full time residents, mostly throu~h retirement, demands for similar
service will be demanded on the many private roads servicints residential
and lakeshore districts.

SOILS i··IAP ( SK~ PAGE 5-E)
This map represents the latest updated nap by the U.S. Department of
Agri culture. There is one currently plan_ned to be released in a couple
of years. Since the beauty of the area is one of our greatest assets,
this map will be very valuable in the study of tt.e toVlnship.

I,a:-TERAL RESOU:'.lCES :r.L~P ( s2:r. PAG3 5-F)

With the many oil and gas wells in the township, and since there is so
much land in the tovmship under control of the state, the township should
be aware of what is being done. We received this map from DHrt. Geology
Division in Roscommon. There are lists produced out of Lansing which show
permits issued in the pre~iou~ six months. By updating the map the town- ,
ship can be aware of where oil and gas activity is taking place.

�GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Ak study of the demographics based on the analysis of voter regis:tatioti.·

shows that our population has grown from 99 voters in 1970 to 248 voters
in 1975 to 322 registered voters in 1988. Jv:uch of this t;rowth in permanent residents comes in the 51 and over age group made up of retirees.
Of course, most residences and Lakeshore residences are owned by downstate
or out of state property owners who use these residences as vacation
houses and second homes. There are well over 1000 properties in this
category. It is the consensus of the Planning Commission that both
categories of property owners were attracted to the area because of the
beauty of its lakes and solitude of state forest. l'ilany who are using
these homes as second h omes, may make them thei)r principil.e ;r:-esidence
upon retiring because of this Quality of life. This explains why there
has been no tremendous building boom to accompany the growth in permanent
residents as we had, e specially durinp; the :1970's. Viany part time
residents plan the same kind of evolution upon their retirement. The
main attraction az;ain being the quality of life offered by our beautiful,
forest,lakes and hills. It is therefore important that the Planning
Commission do all they can to prevent uncontrolled e;rowth in the i'uture
so we don't lose everything that attracted people to the area in the
first place. :-o grov,th to slow-growth may be the logical policy to
follow as people in California are discovering after their :period of
uncontrolled growth has ruined their environment. To increase the tax
base by exploiting jobs and other commercial develppment should not be
our main objective. Other development, such as resorts, condominiums
and other multi-housing development, like\'lise may not be the direction
we should go if the main objective is to preserve the environment we
have and enjoy now.
6

�People here today appear to prefer a more independent life,-. style and
until population increases substantially ~ill not justify the
development of new services such as public facilities, shopping and
service areas. Vith the above in mind the people of Blue Lake Township should take imaginative and constructive steps in building the
future form of the tm,mship.

SOCIAL GOALS

To provide for regulatory measures to safeguard the township from
the pollution of its lakes and streams. This will improve the township as a place to live by making a more healthful, safe, pleasant,
satisfyine; and attractive area in which to live.

3.E SID~:-~TIAL GOALS

To provide protection for housing in residential and lakeshore zoned
district and to prevent undesirable enterprises from moving into
these areas. To strictly enforce the zoning ordinance so new housing
will, at least, meet the minimum standards for size, space, health
and safety, population density and cleanliness. To protect zoned
residential and lakeshore district from unnecessary through traffic.
To take advantage of the hilly land, the many beautiful lakes, and
the _forests, in developing attractive homesites for present and
future resia.ents of the township.

CQ!:;J.'IB3.CIAL AED

nmu ST:3.L\.L

GOALS

To promote land :thich will support Goods and services at convenient
1

locations in the Tovmship, when and if needed.

7

�TRAl'TSPORTATION GOALS
To promote an overall network of roads which would make possible
a free and easy circulation of traffic and to set up a schedule
of priorities for thier improvement.

REC:::l..-SATIO:~AL GOALS
To preserve the hills, lakes, streams and forest for desirable
recreational activities.
To continue the effort of reducine the amount of pnosphorus and
nitrates in the lakes and thus extend their lives for recreational
purposes. To provide for a variety of recreation ,-ri thin· the
tm·mship. Some township owned land could be developed into park
or parks with tennis courts, shuffle board, walking or running
track and other recreational pursuits for people of all ages.
The park could become a meeting place for the community for
such activities as band concerts, firemen picnics,etc.

8

�L~rn USE PLA~·;

Th·e land use plan is a proposal for the future use of the
land in :Blue Lake Township and the buildings that have been
or· may be built opon it.
Since eighty-five(85) percent of the land in Blue Lake
Township is state controlled, it is all the more necessary
for the township to :plan use, in detail, so the :people of the
township vlill be in a position vrhere needed development can
be controlled by the township and not by outside interest.
The land resource .' i:1ve:ntory map should be a valuable aicl in
oakin8 decisions i~ • any areas.

9

�P0PULATI0H
Hm·, the land use is planned should first of all be determined by , study
of the people who will be affected. ~ho, then, are the people who own or
will m·m property in IUue Lake Township and what is their purpose in
holding title to land here? Using the voter registration list of the
tovmship, it is found that there \'Jere on June 30, 1988, 322 registered
voters compared to 248 in 1975, which represents a growth of 28.8~;.
It is interesting that the people 51 and over make up 60. 55~1/:of the total
in 1988 versus 61. 3~; in 1975. Also interesting, was the fact that within
the 51 and over re[:istrants, a la:£ge decrease of 43 .1 % was in the 71 a_n d
over ree;istrants, which v,as more than offset by the 51-60 registrants
with a 300% increase. Therefore, with 2/3 of our permanent residents
a ge 51 and over it can be seen that

\'le

are lare;ely a retirement commun-

ity. This still represents only about 20¼ of all structures in the
t01.·ms hip. The majority, ( 85;;) , of our properties a.re ovmed by part time
resid ents v1hich use properties as vacation :ar second homes, especially
on l ake f ront areas. hany of these plan to retire here.
Another fascinatin g aspect of the population study is shm•m in the
school census. As of June, 1988 only 45 children were registered on the
sc hool census from the S::mmship. This compares to 27 in 1975, a growth
rate 9f 67~~ . So, as youn ger people under 50 have maintained the same
growth rate as those over 50, they have more children per adult ( 35~b)
students to adults under 50 in 1988 versus (28;; ) students to adult ratio
in 1975. ? or whom then, shall the Land use Planntng be developed? There
is no question but that all the people living in the township and all
those ownin,~ property here but living elsewhere should be considered.
Recreation, housing, roads, public utilities and _public services wil1 , be
needed. But, it is also certain that special attention must be given to
the elderly, the retired Senior Citizens of the community.

�RECREATIO:i.'Y

Recreation is no dou~t one of the most valuable assets
of Blue Lake Township. The hunting and fishing, the
snowmobiling, the motorbiking,the berry picking, the
mushroom hunting and the color tours are all a part
of this recreation of the spirit within. It also induces just looking in admiration out over a lake to
tree covered slopes of hills beyond and the quiet
contemplation of life as one looks to the furture or
as it has been in the past. To satify both of these
concepts of recreation, a careful balance must be
maintained. This will not be easy as more and :,1ore
people come to the area .

12

�J.ESID3TTIAL

',·f e see a

11

no growth 11 to a

II

slow growth 11 philosophy

since many of the available lakeshore and residential
sites are already built on.
T!1.ere is adequate availability of housing sites if we
follow this philosophy and try to control future development. Since public utilities are not available,
zoning should continue to require that lots be larger.
This means lower density of population which also goes
a long way in maintaining the quality of life currently
being enjoyed by residents.

13

�S:1~.A::SPORTATIOE
At the present time there are 23.30 miles of Primary Roads a~d
··'··~·J

40.44 miles of Local ~oads in :Slue Lake Township. These figures
were obtained from the [alkaska County Road Commission. The
accompanying map and breakdown of our roads, both :frimary and
Local, also are courtesy of the Kalkaska County ~oad Commission.

Currently our roads, especially the Primary Roads, are all in
bad shape. :This is due to, basically, a lack of money both at
the County level and here in Blue Lake Township.

Anothe::r:- important factor is, and has been, the treDendous
irtcrease in heavy truck traffic from the oil industry and
allied companies. This heavy truck and equipment traffic has
traveled on our roads extensively.
Our roads were never intended for this type of use.

Our Coun ty .1.oad system is in trouble. l.oad 8ommission money
comes from c;as and Heie;ht taxes only. The :'."toad Commission
receives nothing from property taxes.

Gas and ~eight taxes have not kept pace with the cost of increased expenses. In addition to this, the gas and weight tax
fund is being raided by other state departments, which is,
completely out of control of all County Road Commissions.
The problem confronting us now is how to pay for repair and
replacement of our roadso A few years aeo these costs were
shared equally by Blue Lake Toi.-mship and Kalkaska County.

�Now because of shortaees in revenue Kalkaska County has mandated
that Blue Lake 'rownship pay 100% of the costs for new roads and
80% of the costs for re-construction of our roads. To alll of:us
who have recently travelled our roads, it is apparent that the bulk
of our surfaced roads need to be replaced~ I-Iost of them have been
patched to the point \·/here they are all

11

patches 11 • There are stretches

on :Blue Lake 3.oaiih,hS~arvation Lake ?..oad, T\•Jin Lake Road and yet on
Sunset Trail Road where it will be better to tear up the

11

patches 11

and let the reads be replaced with gravel. Better this than the
11

axl~-bustinc holes v1hich

\'le

currently have.

At this point, the future does not look BOod. DillaGe proposals have
been defeated soundly by the voters on a County-wide basis. With
construction costs as they are at t~e present time,(there are no
indications t~at they are 3oinc to be lower). It does not appear
t~at there is any immediate remedy.

Some have asked about the :plausibility of milla2:e at the tm,mship
level to fi:iance road construction. At this point, based on tax
do llars collected, an assessment of one mill will only net the township about thirty-one thousand c1ollars($31 ,OOO.OO). And, it is
doubtful that our already over-burdened taxpayers will support such
a proposition. f,lue Lake Tm·mship or any township does not control
the roads, th.eh' conditions, state of repair, as is now the case.
Ag.a.in they are the responsibility of the Kalkaska County Road
Commission.
As far as Township '?..oads as such are concerned, it is understood
that there are no:ie.
15

�In discussine roads, it should be emphasized that the right of
the Blue Lake Township Board to establish and determine the order
in which roads and trails will be developed and improved through
the use of Township funds, rriust in no way be infringed upon,
but there are certian steps which the Planning Commission believes
would be appropiate for the Township Board to follow.
1. All roads and trails should be classified as to their
developmental structure and a time table showing the
order in which improvements should be undertaken.
2. A plan should be devised to give taxpayers living
adjacent to a road a right of petition, asking for a
change in plans for a road, also provide for a hearing
to be held therein.

3. Township officials should discuss their concern with
County road officials to see that the Township gets
its fair share of any Federal, State and County funds,
if and when they are available.
With the accompanying chart of our roads there are figures in
parentheses which indicate your Planning Commission priorities
a s to which roads need to be repaired in the order of their
importance and physical condition and/or state of disrepair.

�COMMUNITY FACILITIES

In order for a local goverment to best meet the needs
of the community, the facilities and services which are
provided must be well planned and complet·ed: ·. well in
advance of a crisis so that . ~xpenditures may be at a
minimum and they can be spent efficiently. This part
of the study is an analysis of what has happened, what
is happening, and a forecast of what should happen in
Blue Lake Township up to the year 2013.

This should

make it easier to make decisions necessary for the
future development of the township's facilities.

20

�SCHOOLS
Qu ite some time ago the people who live in Blue Lake Township voted
to join Kalkaska Publ ic School District. They assumed their share of
the costs of operating the schools and bond issues voted by registered
electors of the entire school district. This was an irreversible
decision, and at present there is no law by ,-,hich separation .can -be
effected . At the close of the 1987-1988 school year the township was
sending 45 students to Kalkaska Public Schools at a total cost to the
taxpayers of Bl ue Lake Township of 8902,000 •or J2 0,000 per student.

As was written in our last i•Iaster Plan of 197 5, 11 surely there is a
more equitable ,-, ay to pay for schools than to depend so heavily upon
the property tax as a source of revenue. 11 :rot:--1inc has c hanged in these
1 3 years sine e . '.! e f incl our schools in financial crisis as their
costs have risen faster than t~ie property tax base . The total millac;e
rate ~per ') 1000 of assessed valuat ion was 828.67 in 1987. This included
J 3 .27 per -~ 1000 for T . B. A.

~e find our childre~ faced with over-growding and cut-back curriculums
in the 1988-1989 school year with several 0i lla ce requests recently
defeated by the voters in the county. The taxpayers abilities to pay
is enterin3 into the picture . The state is wrest ling with the situation
but has n ot mat~e an~, recommendat ions to the voters of the state as
this is a state- wide proble• (espec i a lly f orthern I:ichi san .) Year
round school is beinc; discussed as an alternative to any more millage
to.;..-f.linance bonds for construction of necessar:r classrooms to handle
overcrowding .
.l:he township , county and state \·fill have to f ind other sources of

1

tax revenue if 1.-re are to continue quality edu cation for our children in the future .
21

�POLICE P~OTECTION

As our population increases, not

only in the township but in

the county, the need for protection for the citizens and
their property increases.

Blue Lake Tovmship does not maintain a police department.
We do have a constable. :Iis only function by law is to
"serve papers." The Township 3 oard may give him other
duties to perform but not as a police officer. The tm·mship
relies on protection from the Kalkaska County Sheriff's
Department and the f1 ichigan State Police.

In the not-so-far distant future however, a part-time deputy
sheriff, workine under the direction of the sheriff, will
be needed in the township. While our crime rate is still
low, it has risen over the past years. This trend will
continue as population increases.

22

�FIRE PROT:3CTIOH
As we update our Comprehensive Plannine we find that fire protection
is now provided. Because of our rural location, recreation and retirement life style, the community is ,growing. A well equipped Fire
Department is very ne0essary. In the beginning, our fire fighting
personnel and equipment was very sparse, but they did their best .
Today with much dedication, training and practice, the township has
a squad of volunteers numbering (14), who are trained in advanced
First Aid assistance. ~lso, fou~(4), who are fully trained as
Fimergency I-iedical Techicians, (:SI',IT' s), each carry a Trauma Kit and
Oxygen in their personal vehicle, for quick response. The squad
consists of both • en and women at this time.

The Fire nepartmen t now :1.as a fire barn, located on :Slue Lake
~oad which houses a·3100 c;allon tanker, a pumper that pumps 1000
gallons a minute and. carries 750 gallons on board. 1:he second response
pumper carries 250 gallons on board and pumps 500 ::;allons a minute.
The snowmobile sled and trailer are used for off-ro2.d transport to
our emere;ency rescue vehicles, which is fully equipped..

Blue Lake Township Fire Department is called #4. One quick call
to Kalkaska County Sheriff Department,1-258-8686 for ALL ET&lt;IER.GEYCI:2S,
will put the fire squad into action through pagers, which each and
every fireman and Bl'I~'s have on their person at home.

23

�A second building 3O'x4O' has been added to the property of 51
acres, 01,,med by Blue Lake TO\·mship for future housine; of fire
apparatus as necessity warrants it. At present, it is used to
store items for the Annual Rummage Sale, promoted by the Fire
Department Auxiliary EI"Oup to generate monies for fire and rescue
equipment. The Township :Board requires a submitted ·b udget from the
Fire Department for operational funds. As fire fighting and rescue
requirements arise, our people train more and more. At present
time the Department needs a Brush Fire fighting truck. The EMT's
obtained from the 3lue Lake Township Civic Association a (CPR
Annie) for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

~ith the community

behind them and the coo:pera tion of the Township Board, our fire
department strives to be f orever ready to serve you and will
continue to do so•

24

�U~ILITI:CS

As population increases and land use beco• es intensified, so will
pollution, if the present practices for water and sewage continue.
This will directly affect the health, safety and welfare of the
entire commu_~ity. 3verythinG possible must be done to maintain
utilities in the best possible condition so the people pf the
townsl1ip will be protected frmn conmunicable diseases and other
health hazards. As conditions deteriorate the poi~t will eventually be reached \·there new and expandine sanitation service will
become a necessity. In the near future, septic system inspection
may be necessary to assure that rules and regulations of the
District =-=.: eal th :D epartment Ko.1 are co• plied with.

~~ o

exceptions

on vmter-front property should be nade. Hater sae1pling of each
lake in a number of :places should be done at least once a year
to determine if any change in content occurs.

~or e attention ne eds to be paid -·6f present supply of drinking
\vater. A campaic;n should be started. to have an annual sam::9ling
of water from every \'/ell in Blue Lake Tm·mship, analyzed to be
sure the \·rater is safe to use. Since many \·!ells are shallow and
th e continued pollution of land by septic tanks, a li • ited public
water system

may be necessary.

As a rule whenJ:;@. : septic tankr: is --l installed ::and .:p1:1t intn .;operation
people think that the sewac; e problem is taken care of for all
time, but this is not true. After from five to six years, depending upon the usae;e, the tank becomes filled

\ •t i

th solids and

the \'Jaste t h en flo\'Js directly into the drJ'·Tell or the drain field.
As a first step, septic system inspection should become mandatory.
Second mandatory pumpin 6 should be incorporated, the frequency dependin e; on what I s

happening to the quality 01· lake water.

�Third, holding tanks may have to be introduced which would not allow
any seepage into dry wells or drain fields. This would require
more frequent pumping but would stop the pollution of land,
especially on water front lots. All these steps are cl.esigned
to prolong the final step, the construction of one or more sewage
treatment plants designed to remove a minimum of 90~~ of the
suspended solids in sewage, tot;ether with the necessary connecting
sew.er and pumping stations. There is not as much money available
today in the way of ?ede:ral Grant s as there use to be. If Federal
BudGet deficits continue in the future, less 7ederal Grants will
be available, :1hich puts the full burden on the back of local

tovmship taxpayers.
'rhe cost of sewace -plants have escalated so much that the interim
steps should be strictly followed to put off such a traumatic cost
on the taxpayers as long as -possible. Population gro\'/th and land use
density are other factors that :1ill hasten the day of reckoning.

As far as solid waste disposal is concerned, Blue Lake Township
is wait ing to see what lCalkaslm County will do. At present the
township pays an independant contractor to haul refuse from the
townshi-p to the contractor's transfer station from \·/here it is
:1aulecl to one of

t\·10

approved land fill sites in l; orthern Michigan.

This will become a very serious 9roblem in the near future as these
land fillcsites are closed. The county must address and adopt a
solution to this probler:1. Any route they e;o v,ill be far more costly
in the future than now.

                  <text>Photographs, negatives, and lantern slides digitized from the papers of engineer and archaeologist Robert H. Merrill. A Grand Rapids native, Merrill held an accomplished career as a civil engineer. He founded the company Spooner &amp; Merrill, which held offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago. From 1919-1921, Merrill lived in China, working as Assistant Principal Engineer on a reconstruction of the Grand Canal - the oldest and longest canal system in the world. Merrill became fascinated by archaeology, and among other projects, he traveled to the Uxmal Pyramids in Yucatan, Mexico, with a research expedition from Tulane University. Merrill's photo collection includes images of his travels and projects, friends and family. </text>
