Warren Planning Commission approves lot splits, site-plan conditions and bond releases; postpones one item
Summary
The Warren City Planning Commission approved multiple lot-split requests and site plans with standard conditions, released surety bonds for completed projects, granted a one-year extension for a landscaping site plan, and postponed a parking-lot revision to 12/15/2025.
At its meeting, the Warren City Planning Commission approved several items on the agenda and handled procedural motions including a postponement and bond releases.
The commission approved item 6b, a site plan for open storage of fencing materials at 22586 Ryan Road (PSP250041), subject to multiple staff conditions and required variances to be pursued through the Zoning Board of Appeals. Planning staff detailed conditions including concrete driveway construction to City of Warren engineering standards, revised site plans, adjustment of an 8-foot wall to 6 feet on the east property line, deed of 60 feet on the west for Bridal Road right-of-way, and variances to retain gravel open-storage areas. No public speakers opposed the revised plan in person; a neighbor letter (Pamela Crown, dated 11/13/2025) was read asking for setbacks and written restrictions to be enforced, and planning staff said the petitioner had agreed to specific visual and buffering measures.
The commission also approved two subdivision requests: item 6d (split/combination on Blackmar Avenue; PSL S250003), where petitioners Michael and Wade Kempton requested a 30.2-foot parcel moved from Lot 39 to Lot 40 to benefit family members, and item 6e (split of Lot 31, Supervisors Plat 5; PSL S250004), a city-sponsored split for two single-family homes intended for low- to moderate-income buyers. Both were approved conditionally pending standard survey revisions, grading and drainage inspections, any required utility easements and subsequent city council approval.
Old business included a one-year extension for an approved landscaping facility with open storage through 11/06/2026; the commission voted to grant the extension. Under bond items, the commission released a posted bond of $23,250 for security-guard booths and parking expansion (PSP220027) and released an original $4,000 surety bond tied to a General Motors industrial project after staff reported the project complete.
Earlier in the evening the commission took a procedural action on item 6a, a revised parking-lot site plan at 3930 East 10 Mile Road (PSP250038); the petitioner requested and the commission approved a postponement to the December 15, 2025 meeting. The meeting closed with planning director remarks about upcoming Van Dyke Corridor Plan council discussion and routine staff updates.
