JACKSON TWP. During the March 9 regular meeting, the Jackson Township Board of Trustees held a public hearing for a rezoning request made by A-List Land Development, 1425 Whipple Ave. NW.
The company requested a revision to the layout of a previous R-3 PUD Development plan, approved on June 11, 2007, by township trustees. The property is at the northeast corner of Portage and Lutz. The original plan had 51 lots and the rezoning request being made is to allow 57 lots.
Trustees continued the hearing to 5:30 p.m. March 23 because the developer sent the wrong plans to the Zoning Department, which only included 56 units. Trustees all said they wanted time to review the plan for the 57 units.
