Summary

This held collection preserves 50 public planning documents associated with Beaver Island master planning, recreation planning, and the 2022–23 update process. It includes adopted-plan candidates, drafts, agendas, minutes, presentations, public comments, agreements, and recreation-plan materials from four public source pages.

The collection is a provenance and discovery layer. It lets researchers follow the planning process over time and locate the particular source needed for a claim, without treating all documents as equally authoritative.

Record classes and limits

  • The 2017 and 2023 plan PDFs are planning documents; their individual status requires the relevant adoption evidence.
  • Drafts, public comments, presentations, agendas, and minutes document stages of deliberation or public process, not final policy unless a source explicitly records adoption.
  • Recreation plans have their own scope and periods; they are not automatic amendments to the Master Plan.
  • Collection membership does not establish current law, zoning, appropriation, implementation, title, or a parcel-specific result.

Open questions

  • Which 2017 plan provisions were superseded, retained, or altered by the 2023 update?
  • Are there public township-board adoption records for the final 2023 plan in addition to the held Planning Commission records?
  • Which planning documents after 2024 should be added through the same provenance-preserving collector?
