Board rezones 5178 Burton Street into High Ridge PUD to keep parcel with condominium association
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to amend the zoning ordinance and rezone a 0.33-acre landlocked parcel at 5178 Burton Street from R-1 to High Ridge planned unit development (PUD 27), allowing the parcel to be managed with the adjacent condominium common elements.
Cascade Charter Township trustees voted to introduce and approve a rezoning resolution to add a small, landlocked parcel to the High Ridge planned unit development (PUD 27).
Planning staff explained the 0.33-acre parcel east of I-96 is landlocked by utility easements and a parking lot and is effectively usable only by the adjacent High Ridge condominium. The planning director described the request as procedural and recommended approval to clean up a long-standing oversight in the development record.
Jonathan Durell, attorney for the High Ridge Condominium Owners Association, told the board the parcel came to their attention after a tax-foreclosure sale and that the association negotiated a purchase rather than pursue a quiet-title action, in part because utility mechanicals and the well pump are functionally connected to condominium common elements. "We negotiated a purchase price with that buyer so that we could maintain control of it," Durell said.
Trustee Shipley moved to approve the resolution to rezone 5178 Burton Street from R-1 to High Ridge PUD (PUD 27); Trustees Nordyke and Nord Hook supported the motion. Clerk Slater called the roll; each present member voted yes and the motion carried.
