NEW BUSINESS: 

 

Item 1.  Dixie Development, Site Plan Review for proposed retail development on Vienna Road

              between Simms Chevrolet and Genesys Diagnostics building.

        

         A.  John Kosta, Grainger Associates, Inc, was present requesting site plan approval for

               a rental unit with possibility of 4 tenants.  The building will have brick on the front

               and concrete block on the back that will be painted the same color as the front.

        

         B.  Bob Palmer recommended approval because the land use is good, the plan

               complies pretty well with the design guidelines setup by the BDA, it has more than

               enough parking, and it complies with our ordinance.

 

         C. There was considerable discussion on the detention basin.  It was suggested that Mr.

              Kosta actively explore the possibility of hooking into the Genesys detention basin. 

 

         D. Moved by Ranger, seconded by Garner to grant approval of the site plan as

              presented, pending approval of the Genesee County Drain Commission and

              Michigan Department of Transportation.

              Saginaw Road.

 

         A.  Mr. Vuillemot stated that he will knock off the portions of the building

              that are encroaching on the right-of-way, put the garage doors on the front and

              completely close the back of the building with siding.   He intends to use the building

              for inside storage only.
