The request is being petitioned by Vector Development and it was stated that representatives have been before the Commission several times and have indicated theyâll comply with all zoning requirements.

A new waterfront housing development is on track following approval from the Green Oak Township Planning Commission.
Applicant Tom Schroder and Project Engineer Michelle Spencer were before commissioners Thursday night seeking their blessing on a proposed development on Dove Lake. A planned unit development was being sought for the property which is approximately 108.5 acres and zoned as rural estates. Schroder is seeking to build 37 single family homes in a cluster on the west side of the lake. All of the homes would have lake frontage. The project had been before the planning commission before but lacked a parallel plan that satisfied commissioners. A parallel plan shows what could be built on a property using its current zoning.

The Parc would be located on 20 acres off of Maltby Road near the cemetery and existing garden center. Current plans call for 23 two-story buildings with 230 total units. Fingeroot had originally requested a planned unit development and then straight rezoning.
The property is currently zoned as Research Office. Fingeroot offered 8 conditions for conditional rezoning to Residential Multi-family (RM).
