I have a couple Cleaspan truss arch buildings, one for hay and the other for equipment. I keep my camper in the equipment building and truck in the winter. No boats here. All my friends have boats so I get invited out all the time. Don't need the expense. Do have numerous motorcycles and a couple quads though.
Not sure if you are aware of it but, depending on how you are zoned, your township has no control over a clearspan type building because in the State of Michigan, any building without a ratwall (even anchored to the ground like mine are (screw anchors every 8 feet), sitting on 2 x 12 x 20 foot long .40 retenton planks is considered a portable building and is exempt from property tax too.
It would depend on how you are zoned. A1-A2 and reserve ag are all okay. Residential and multi-family housing isn't.
For me, no building permits, no township approval and no RE taxes is a big plus. I have 2, 45 feet wide, 16 to the high point and 90 feet long with 14 foot roll up metal doors on one end. I put both on an engineered backfilled sand base because both are on a grade. Mine are big enough that I can get a semi inside if need be.
My truck is a 1997, bought it new in '97 and no rust because it don't get driven on salted Michigan roads, it snoozes all winter. Living on an unpaved road and using the truck as a fuel hauler during planting and harvest time probably attributed to the 'sandblasted. rear brake line. No issue now with Ni-Cop though.
I know the rules thanks to my wife, she's on the township board.
