On Tuesday, June 20th at 7PM at Township Hall there is a hearing regarding a proposal to re-zone "Phase 3" of Wolverine Country Club from R-1 (Single-Family Homes) to R-2-L (Residential Multiple Family Low Density) and intend to build duplexes. THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING ZONING AND WILL CREATE A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE AND POSE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES.
Why the request should be denied:
1.) This is not consistent with the Master Plan and introduces a pattern and density of housing not consistent with the surrounding neighborhood zoning. This type of "spot-rezoning" will cause significant problems for the area in the future.
2.) It places the health, safety and welfare of the residents at sigificant risk because of poor traffic flows, lack of sidewalks, and a delayed ability for fire and safety vehicles to reach the area with narrow 2-lane roads and no shoulders or traffic lights.
3.) When multi-family comes in whether it’s R-1 or R-2 whatever the case is the township has no say in what the ownership of those units will be, the ownership can’t be regulated through the township, so we do need to be careful when handing out multi-family zoning in certain areas where apartments and condominiums are a concern.
4.) This is not a proposal for apartments or condominiums only for a rezoning to R-2-L for multiple family and the only debate is on the rezoning itself and the impact that any type of development of an R-2-L zoning could have on the surrounding area. THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T NEED TO SHARE PLANS, AND IF THEY DO IT IS NOT BINDING AND COULD BE CHANGED!!
5.) Once this rezoning is approved, it opens the door for other developments in the area. This includes the property at 25 Mile and Luchtman owned by Treasurer, Karen Goodhue, who also wants to build condos. It creates a requirement to approve because it would be consistent with the area if this initial request is granted.
Please sign and share this information with your neighbors!
If you can attend the meeting and share your concerns about the safety of our residents, that would be helpful too.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many neighbors have taken a stand on this issue. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined so many people would join me in protecting our community.

This will cost this community more than it will generate tax revenues based on road costs and decreased adjacent property values. Current residents will be footing the bill. What is the justification for this plan? Build at any cost?
Traffic is already congested and the issue at 22 mile and romeo Plank needs to be addresses before anything else is built north of 21 mile. The schools r already over crowded and having condominiums and or a GOD FORBID a trailer or modular home park would be devistating to the area
The constant building in our communities is so disappointing for those of us who have moved out to these northern areas. We purchased here because of the beautiful land we get to live near and see every day and appreciate the animals that can surround us. Then more and more buildings unnecessarily go up constantly. Can we not preserve anything? Please consider not allowing construction on this area.
The rezoning goes against the master plan and the congestion at 25 mile and Romeo Plank is already horrific. Please do not rezone.
This CANNOT happen. Our roads are already under serving the traffic flow, and this would make things considerably worse. It's not that this ONE development would be such an atrocity, but it would open the door for countless others. Look at Chesterfield!
Keep single housing.
Should not be re-zoned; keep the area consistent with what current homeowners expected when they purchased their $350,000+ single-family residences. Greedy builders do not need to ruin yet another area.

I feel this would change the area into a densely populated area, bringing all the problems inherent in this type of zoning. We purchased in Winding Creek because it was single family housing and a child friendly and safe neighborhood. The lack of high traffic and safety of the area was appealing, and important to us as senior citizens.
