A lawsuit filed by a recycling company against the City of Howell has been withdrawn.
According to a release from the city, Padnos Howell Inc., a metal recycling company, has agreed to dismiss its appeal filed in Livingston County Circuit Court against the City of Howell regarding its recycling operation at 645 Lucy Road. The suit was filed after the cityâs Board of Zoning Appeals denied two variances, one of which would have allowed the company to operate an open-air metal shredder, as opposed to placing it inside an enclosure.
The Howell Planning Commission had previously approved the plans for the operation, including the shredder, subject to the approval of the variances by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
