Preliminary Sycamore Point plat proposes about 130 homes; council flags TIF, floodplain and access questions
Summary
Administrator Joe Allen told council a developer submitted a preliminary plat for roughly 30 acres proposing about 130 homes and a planned TIF on Clearwater Drive; council and residents raised floodplain, home-size and access-timing concerns.
Village Administrator Joe Allen reported receipt of a preliminary plat for roughly 30 acres at the rear of Bloomfield Hills that the developer said could yield about 130 homes. The developer intends to seek a tax-increment financing (TIF) district on its portion of Clearwater Drive, the minutes say.
Residents and council asked specific questions about floodplain impacts, the anticipated size of homes, and when a second entrance to Bloomfield Hills would be completed. Administrator Allen did not provide detailed engineering or timeline answers in the minutes; council indicated these issues will be considered during future plat review and permitting.
Council did not vote on the plat at the Nov. 3 meeting. The minutes note ongoing concern about access and environmental constraints; council review and possible conditions or requests for additional studies were signaled but not recorded as formal directives in the meeting excerpt.
