Kuttshill Property Referendum

The Concerned Citizens of Plainfield Township Coalition files a lawsuit in Circuit Court asking for the township to place on the ballot the re-zoning of the Kuttshill property, the ravines at Inwood.  Please see attachments for more details.

The purpose for this referendum was to:

·         Limit the number of homes that can be built, not crammed in Condos.

·         Minimize the traffic issues.

·         Lessen the strain on our schools that have already full classrooms.

We would like to make the following points:

·         We are mystified why the township audited the signatures (we had 125% of what was needed) and Ruth Ann Karnes ran right to the township lawyer to see if they could invalidate the signatures, ignoring the “will of the people.”

·         While collecting signatures every street was canvased in the township.  The signatures came from the entire Plainfield Township.

·         We filed our appeal on June 30 in Circuit court after exhausting all of our possible avenues with the township.

·         We are just asking the court to put the referendum on the ballet and let the people decide if the re-zoning should happen.

·         Since the township has left us no alternative but to go to court, we now need your help.  This is going to be expensive so we set up a Go-Fund-Me site to collect money.  Please contribute what you can.  All money not used will be refunded proportionally.
