The South Lyon Planning Commission is recommending approval of a new 59-unit residential development.
Planning commissioners were divided last week, as they debated a conditional rezoning request for 34-acre parcel on the east side of Dixboro Road, south of 10-Mile. The property is currently zoned Light Residential, but the owner claims theyâve not had a single inquiry on the property in the past 20 years that it has been on a market. They and developer Thomas Schroeder are asking for conditional rezoning to R-3 Single Family Residential using the Open Space Preservation Option.
Schroeder said the area has looked rough, calling it blight, at times, and he believes the proposed development will bring multiple benefits. He promised to put âpretty little housesâ in there, with sidewalks that connect to the downtown area.
