Saline City Council granted a six-month extension to the final site plan for Huntington Woods Phase III.
The plan for the planned unit development was set to expire July 9. Council voted 7-0 to extend the plan until Jan. 9, 2021.
Assistant City Manager Mike Greene recommended the extension.
In a letter to the city, Joe Skore, VP of Land Acquisition for Pulte Homes of Michigan, said Pulte has obtained all requisite permits and off-site easements required. The pre-construction meeting was held Jan. 29.
"However, in light of the scope and speed of the unprecedented circumstances we are now facing regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, Pulte is requesting an extension of the final site plan approval from July 9, 2020 to January 9, 2021," Skore wrote.
Councillor Kevin Camero-Sulak asked how long it would take for Pulte to start building once the state re-opens.
"When we decide to ramp up, it will take us no time at all. We move very quickly and I see no impediments," Skore told council.
Answering a question from Councillor Jack Ceo, Skore told council that spec building is a small fraction of their building. A large majority is associated with buyers signing a contract, Skore said.
He noted that Huntington Woods Phase II is 80-85 percent sold.
Phase III features 25 new homes. Phase II was for 41 units.

Would urge the city to NOT privatize the Rec Center or sell it.
Ali. There is a reason you don’t understand. You choose not to. Investing in our seniors health and wellbeing is much more important than investing in a recreation center that has continued to lose money and only serves a small portion of our city’s community.
We are seniors and fully familiar with both facilities. Perhaps what is not understood is the number of seniors who use the Recreation Center, in particular the aquatic center as arthritis for many of us means water is one of the few ways we can exercise. Many of course also use other areas of the facility.
EDIT: The Saline American Legion was a sponsor for this event, supplying the food for guests. SASC is grateful for their continued support.
Kudos to The Saline American Legion. They have been a consistent contributor to the SASC. Seniors in our community have earned and deserve the benefits that the senior center offers. Great work!
