Board of Trustees approve Lombardo request

At their March 3, 2009 meeting, the Shelby Twp. Board of Trustees approved Lombardo Homes' revised site Plan modification request.

The details of the approved request were the same as those acted on by the Planning Commission at their Feb. 9, 2009 meeting.

Several residents including myself spoke at the March 3rd meeting regarding the discussion held at the Feb. 9th meeting about the exterior colors that will be made available on these new units. At that meeting it was stated that they will be drawn from a palette that will be compatible with the Manors existing color and finish scheme and determined in conjunction with the Planning Dept. At tonight's meeting we expressed the desire that the petitioner and Planning Dept. follow through on that plan and we even mentioned that the palette could also be drawn from the color and finish schemes used on the Kensington condos. Based on our comments, Trustee Paula Filar asked for and received permission to modify the motion and added an additional condition to that effect.
