The Pittsfield Township Board will have the second reading of zoning ordinance change to allow a four-story, 121-unit apartment building on Carpenter road, just south of I-94.
The board meets Aug. 10.
The Walden apartment complex will feature 12 studio apartments (500-525 square feet), 54 one-bedroom apartments (750-850 square feet) and 55 two-bedroom/two-bathroom apartments (1,025-1,075 square feet).
The applicant sees to rezone two parcels and a portion of a third to "planned unit development." The zoning designation would allow the applicant to achieve higher density development while maintaining woodlands and wetlands. The current zoning would allow 87 single-family units - although the density would be much lower due to infrastructure and woodland/wetland protection rules.
The PUD plan would preserve 17 acres of open space, according to planning memo from Carlisle Wortman, consultant for the township.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 88 and low of 61 degrees. Mist for the morning, sunny during the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
