Amendment to the Town of Pinckney Zoning Law
Seasonal Use Classification
Use, Seasonal: A use which will not have access to a snow-plowed or winter maintained public road or be
provided with vehicular public services such as, but not limited to, emergency services, school busing or
postal delivery during the winter snow season.
1. Purpose: The purpose of this regulation is to provide for the reasonable use of recreational,
agricultural and forestry properties which are accessed solely by minimum maintenance roads.
This regulation allows for the reasonable use of such lands for seasonal uses without the
prohibitively expensive public cost of providing for wheeled vehicular access through the snowplowing
and the winter maintenance of minimum maintenance roads.
2. Seasonal use classification is a use classification in addition to the use classifications of Section
410 of this law. Application for seasonal use classification may be made for any use which
intends to have its principal access to a minimum maintenance road.
3. For a use to be established with its principal access to a minimum maintenance road, it must, in
addition to the allowed use requirement of Section 410 of this law, also be classified as a seasonal
use.
4. Where a use has access to both a minimum maintenance road and to a non-minimum
maintenance road, such use shall have its principal access to the non-minimum maintenance road
unless classified as a seasonal use.
