Land Bank authorizes agreements for Tiny Homes duplex at 1001 Kosciusko Street
Summary
The Manistee County Land Bank Authority authorized Chair Rachel Nelson to draft purchase and development agreements with Tiny Homes for 1001 Kosciusko Street, not to exceed $6,000, to enable construction of a residential duplex. The motion passed unanimously on June 16, 2026.
The Manistee County Land Bank Authority on June 16 authorized Chair Rachel Nelson to draft a purchase agreement and a development agreement with Tiny Homes for the land bank-owned parcel at 1001 Kosciusko Street, with an authorization cap of $6,000 for the agreements.
George Butler, representing Tiny Homes, presented the concept plan for a residential duplex, describing site constraints that previously limited development and noting recent zoning changes that now allow the proposed use. The motion to authorize drafting the agreements was made by Commissioner Mitch Deisch, supported by Commissioner Duane Jones, and carried by unanimous vote.
The authorization does not itself transfer title; it directs staff to prepare agreements for future member review. The record shows members also discussed projected timelines, estimated construction costs, and an anticipated sale structure for the finished units. Staff will return drafts for the Authority's consideration in a subsequent meeting.
