Bath Township Comprehensive Plan Revision Update

To gather additional public comments on the draft plan document, Bath encourages you to complete its online survey. The link to this survey is below. Please feel free to share the survey link and public forum information with the community. Due to its design, the survey requires precise comments, including citations of the pages within the plan referenced in your comments.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2025BathTwpCompPlanDocument

Questions to consider when reviewing the draft plan: Does this plan reflect input I and others gave at the public meeting(s)? Will it allow rezoning of residential to non-residential use? Do the overlays allow more intense building than the zoning map indicates? Will existing JEDDs be enlarged or new JEDDs created? In ten to twenty years, will Bath have retained its rural residential character throughout the township?

The survey will be open from January 17th through February 17th, 2025

Mailbox Theft Alert:

Due to the rash of thefts from the Bath Post Office’s blue drop box, the Embassy Parkway drop boxes, and individual residential mailboxes, the USPS and Bath Police are discouraging use of these locations for your outgoing mail. Send your correspondence, especially envelopes containing bank checks, from inside any post office, including Bath (Ira Road), Copley (Ridge Road), and Fairlawn (West Market Street) locations. Acme #55 (Medina Rd. in Montrose) also features inside postal services at their customer service desk.

Please note: the frequency of theft of parcels left outside homes is also increasing within the township. While cameras record a thief’s appearance, they do not supply the thief’s identity, nor will you be able to reclaim your property using just a photo. A secure delivery location or pickup option is the safest alternative.
