Board approves amended conditional rezoning for Big Lakes Lawn Care with new fencing condition
Summary
Trustees approved the first amendment to a conditional rezoning for Big Lakes Lawn Care, adding a condition that temporary tarps and posts be removed by May 1 and permitting installation of new fencing under permit and land‑development approval. The vote was unanimous.
Macomb Township trustees on March 26 approved a first amendment to the conditional rezoning for Big Lakes Lawn Care, adding a timeline and a new condition about existing tarps and temporary fencing.
Planning staff said the original conditional rezoning had been approved previously but lapsed because key requirements were not met. The amended agreement includes deadlines intended to require step‑by‑step compliance; failure to meet deadlines would render the rezoning null and void.
Planning consultant Roger Box read a newly proposed condition into the record: “The current tarp and temporary posts will be removed on or before 05/01/2025. Big Lakes also has the right to remove the existing fence. After removal of the tarp and temporary posts, but before site plan and engineering plan approvals, Big Lakes will have the right to install new fencing in strict conformance with an issued fencing permit, the amended CRA, and the concept plan, and as approved by the Macomb Township Land Development Director.”
The mover included the newly read condition as part of the motion; the seconder agreed. The board voted unanimously to approve the amendment. Staff said the signed version of the new condition was provided during the meeting.
Planning staff cautioned that if deadlines are not met the conditional rezoning could lapse, and the property could revert to its prior zoning status.
