Planning commission approves Golden Wheat/Brown Crunch parking and storage expansion with conditions
Summary
The commission approved a site plan allowing expansion of an on-site parking lot, relocation of containers, and new landscaping for Golden Wheat/Brown Crunch, subject to standard planning conditions including ADA-compliant parking, lot consolidation, and a $3,000 performance bond tied to an estimated $100,000 cost.
The Planning Commission approved a site plan for Brown Crunch/Golden Wheat to expand an existing parking lot, consolidate parcels and formalize outdoor storage with conditions from planning staff and utilities.
Petitioner Matt Neo said the project will demolish two former residential structures and convert the area to a paved, hard-surfaced parking lot with new trees, fencing and labeled access points. Planning staff relayed utility reviews (water division, AT&T, Comcast, Macomb County Public Works Office) and recommended approval with standard conditions including five copies of revised site plans, ADA-compliant accessible parking (including a van-sized accessible stall), curb and gutter, labeled overhead/access doors, and identification of open-storage heights.
Staff also asked that three parcels be combined into one parent parcel and noted a performance bond of $3,000 be posted based on an estimated project cost of $100,000. The petitioner said an alley-vacation process is already in progress with counsel.
Commissioner Holloway moved to approve the site plan with conditions; Commissioner Hawke supported the motion. The commission recorded affirmative roll-call votes from the commissioners present and approved the project.
Next steps: petitioner to submit revised plans to planning staff addressing the listed conditions and to complete the parcel-combination and alley-vacation processes as required.
