Mich.'s Supreme Court to hear zoning dispute
The Michigan Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments today in an appeal filed by Putnam Township stemming from the rezoning of a 498-unit manufactured housing development. The township denied the request on the 144 acres of farmland at D-19 and Swarthout Road in 2003.
The Hendee family and the development company sued. They won in Livingston Circuit Court and the Michigan Court of Appeals, which claimed the township practiced "exclusionary zoning." and awarded attorney costs and witness fees to the Hendees and Village Point Development.
