East Bay Charter Township · March 3, 2026

A conditional approval.
A clearer picture.

The Planning Commission unanimously approved SPR 1-26 and SLU 1-26, Gather Rehmann Farm, subject to five staff conditions and three additional conditions. The parcel remains described as Low Density Residential (LDR); the special land use concerns a small place of public assembly.

The minutes and staff report together describe these limits and requirements:

1. The approved application site plan, updated February 12, 2026, applies, subject to required revisions.
2. A maximum of 10 events per year, with events from 4–10 p.m. and lights out by 11 p.m.
3. A maximum of 100 attendees.
4. No amplified music.
5. All necessary township and Grand Traverse County Road Commission permits and approvals must be obtained.
6. A major buffer extends 60 feet past the parking area, with two rows of conifers at least eight feet high.
7. A private drive maintenance agreement must be drafted and recorded in perpetuity for the abutting owners.
8. Only one event may take place on any weekend, within the annual limit.

The staff report describes outdoor events under a temporary tent and explicitly states that the historic barn will not be used for events. The listing states that final land-use permitting remains to be completed.
