Farmington Hills council said no thanks to a proposed neighborhood near its western border geared toward seniors.
Council members voted 5-2 to deny a 26-home proposal, called Chasewood Villas, at 38500 Nine Mile, at a meeting Monday. The property was formerly Piemontese Social Club.
The majority felt building 26 homes on a property just under 10 acres would be too dense. The developer, Pulte Homes, had originally proposed 30 homes. Unfortunately, I m still not pleased with the density, Councilwoman Valerie Knol said.
Pulte Homes wanted to target the ranch-style homes toward older residents looking to downsize and have a smaller yard. However, council wasn t convinced downsizing should look quite that small.

A three-year quest by Farmington and Farmington Hills to develop a government broadband network is at a critical juncture. A recent study estimated its cost at $107.5 million and offered mixed views on its viability.
The study was released in November and presented to the city councils of both communities in January. It found a relatively high level of dissatisfaction among residential customers with their current Internet services.
But it also cast doubt on whether enough residents would switch to a municipal network to make it work.
Farmington Hills Mayor Vicki Barnett said in an interview that the need for higher internet speeds and capacities is demonstrable.

Vicki said: Although I was excited by the news of being a bridesmaid, I was 24-26 in dress size and just felt this would scupper my best friend s day.
Many Americans pay attention to the big elections like the 2020 Presidential Election.
But it s the small elections, like the ones for council and mayor many communities will face this year, that determine things like how much people see on their water bills or whether the school district gets to levy a millage.
Farmington and Farmington Hills both have elections in 2021 that will determine who runs things at the local level.
Here s some things voters will see on ballots this year:
