Board approves 471-unit Everbrook active-adult community with conditions
Loading...
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2026-28 for Everbrook (Del Webb/Pulte), a proposed 471-unit, 55+ detached condominium community on about 224.51 acres, subject to conditions including a reviewed Fowler Creek maintenance agreement, fire department deed language and prior zoning/lighting/dumpster corrections.
The Canton Township Board of Trustees voted to adopt Resolution 2026-28 approving a special land use, preliminary site plan, and condominium ordinance variances for Everbrook, a proposed 471-unit active-adult community by Pulte Homes to be built on roughly 224.51 acres north of Gettys Road and west of Denton Road.
Patrick Stone, community planner, summarized the file history: the planning commission recommended approval on 02/02/2026 subject to conditions. The conditions include corrections to a dumpster enclosure design, approval of variances previously granted by the zoning board of appeals for wetland and creek setbacks, correction of minor lighting issues, inclusion of a fire-department requirement in the master deed, and satisfactory review of a Fowler Creek maintenance agreement by Canton Township legal counsel and administration before final action.
Pulte representatives said the developer will operate the homeowners association during build-out and eventually transition maintenance obligations to the HOA; the maintenance agreement is drafted to include enforcement mechanisms allowing the township to notify the HOA of deficiencies and, if needed, enter the property to perform maintenance and bill the HOA. Township staff said the draft agreement is near completion but that some boundary and enforcement language remains under negotiation.
Board members pressed on stormwater and creek maintenance; staff described short-term drainage work already taken by Pulte and Wayne County (ditch work and spot grading) and ongoing creek maintenance (removal of beaver dams). The board noted the maintenance agreement is a condition of final approval and that final site plan review will return to the planning commission and township board only after all conditions are satisfied.
The motion to approve passed with no board opposition recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
