The Eagle Harbor Township Planning Commission is in the process of preparing a Master Plan for the Township. The Master Plan is a guiding document that will define a broad vision for the community and specific policies, goals, and strategies for how to achieve that vision. 

A draft of the Township Master Plan is available for review and comment by the public. 

Comments can be emailed to office@eagleharbortwp.org, or mailed to 321 Center St., Eagle Harbor, MI 49950.

Part of the process was a survey conducted to provide the Planning Commission and Township Board with an understanding of what the community sees as important opportunities and challenges facing Eagle Harbor Township. Here are the results of the survey.

Zoning Administrator

Susan Hockings, Zoning Administrator

The Zoning Administrator role is to follow what the Planning Commission enacts and is reflected in the Zoning Ordinance. They will work with property owners to ensure that setbacks, heights, uses and accessory uses are correct for their zoning and get property owners off on the right foot to get their building permits from Keweenaw County.  Eagle Harbor Township has had zoning laws in place since 1975 when the County adopted its ordinance.  In 2006, the Township Board voted to separate from County-wide zoning, and started to enforce our own zoning ordinance, which was modeled after the County Zoning Ordinance.  Currently, the Eagle Harbor Township Zoning Ordinance is very similar to the County Ordinance and we issue only zoning permits ourselves.  The County still issues building, electrical, mechanical, culvert, soil and erosion, and 911 permits.
