Planning panel recommends reclassifying 7.5 acres near Wilderness Drive to Sylvan Commercial
Summary
The commission voted to recommend reclassification of 7.5 acres at 2485 Wilderness Drive SW from Shoreland Residential to Sylvan Commercial, subject to findings; vote was 6–1 with Commissioner LaPorte dissenting.
At its April 13 meeting, the Cass County Planning Commission recommended approval of a reclassification application affecting a 7.5‑acre parcel at or near 2485 Wilderness Drive SW in Sylvan Township. The change would move the parcel from Shoreland Residential to Sylvan Commercial. The minutes record that 52 notices were mailed and four comments received, including one from the township. The recommendation passed by a 6–1 vote, with Commissioner Ken LaPorte recorded as the dissenting vote.
The commission’s written findings enumerate surrounding parcel classifications, that no farmland would be converted, and that Sylvan Township supports the reclassification. The motion to recommend approval was recorded as MS/P Freeman/Hendrickson; the minutes list several ordinance considerations (Section 707 reclassification procedure) that informed the recommendation.
