SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE

Mary Ann Nugent, Supervisor

Sauble Township's Planning & Zoning Commission has been working diligently the past 2 years on the township Master Plan, Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance that replaces the original 2001 Zoning Ordinance.   The Sauble Township Board voted to approve and adopt the Zoning Ordinance at the November 14, 2022 Regular Meeting.  You will find the adopted Zoning Ordinance under the ZONING tab.

Sauble Township has completed many projects and new ones are under consideration:
​
2022 PROJECTS

• Security Camera System will be installed, funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds (ARPA).  Election sites are required to have security cameras when an Absentee Voter Ballot Box is on the premises.  In addition, the township has had a few areas/incidents where cameras are needed.  COMPLETED by Brooks Security and Electronics LLC
• A New Separate Water Tank will be installed for the Township Hall.  Currently the Sauble-Elk-Eden Fire Station #1 houses the water tank for both buildings.  Once the SEEFD moves to its new Central Fire Station on 8 Mile RD, Station # 1 building reverts back to the Township.  We do not want to incur extra costs in heating the old fire station for the water tank.  This work is funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds (ARPA).  COMPLETED by Peterson Well Drilling
• Township Hall Insulation/Siding  There is little to no insulation in the building and the old vinyl siding is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.  Insulation of the building will help to reduce heating (propane) costs. COMPLETED by Fresh Coast Foam (Local contractor, John Bennett) who donated all labor and materials, at no cost to township.  THANK YOU!
