The Family Entertainment Farm portion of Plank Road Farms was originally proposed on the West side of US-131 in Hopkins Township. After suggesting that owner of the property NOT put forth a Commercial P.U.D. proposal, the Township suggested that the owner wait for an ordinance (Highway Frontage Overlay) be applied to the property along 12th Street. A dynamic, yet well controlled overlay district and document was developed by the Hopkins Township's Planner at the time, only to have the planning commission vote down even the creation of the overlay ordinance, let alone the development of this project itself. It would appear that these uses would be approved in Wayland Township on the East side of US-131, in conjunction with the Race Track, and other development. In fact, the outdoor amphitheatre and event facility would probably be included in Phase I of Plank Road Farms as their is a huge demand for large outdoor concert venues during 6 - 8 months of the year.
