According to an adage, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. But what happens when all the prospective home buyers see someone’s “treasure” as a blight on the neighborhood, reducing the overall property value?
The Bingham Township board grappled with this question at their March 18 meeting while reviewing a nuisance ordinance, but couldn’t quite come up with a consensus, informally agreeing to think about the night’s discussion and resuming next month.
“Well, I don’t think we’re going to get anyplace with this tonight. Let’s think about what’s been discussed tonight and put it back on the agenda for next month,” township Supervisor Midge Werner said. “I think that we’re all kind of recognizing we should probably be some kind of enforcement going here, it’s kind of what that would possibly be.”
