Planners approve Culver's site at 3741 W Carleton Rd after infrastructure questions
Summary
The Hillsdale Planning Commission approved a site plan for a proposed Culver's at 3741 W Carleton Rd after the project team told commissioners outstanding staff review items are being addressed and the zoning administrator indicated no known MDOT objection.
The Hillsdale City Planning Commission on April 15 approved a commercial site plan for a proposed Culver's at 3741 W Carleton Rd.
Tyler Smith of Kimley Horn took the podium to answer commissioners' questions about the plan and said the items raised in the preliminary site plan review are being addressed. Commissioner Coykendall pressed whether surrounding infrastructure along the 99 corridor would be sufficient as the corridor continues to attract businesses; Zoning Administrator Smith addressed those concerns but did not specify further mitigation measures in the transcript. Commissioner Laycock asked whether a conditional approval would be necessary given remaining items; Zoning Administrator Smith cautioned that a conditional approval could slow the process. Commissioner Winter asked whether the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) was likely to approve the portions requiring its review; Zoning Administrator Smith said there was no indication MDOT would disapprove.
After discussion Commissioner Winter moved to approve the commercial site plan and Commissioner Kniffin seconded; the motion passed and the clerk recorded "All in favor." The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes. Staff noted outstanding review items remain and will be addressed before final administrative sign-off.
