Growing pains surface in county

In the past year, Enterprise readers have come to know about controversial developments in at least two communities.

The proposed expansion of the Northgate Leelanau Pines campground, was turned down twice by Centerville Township planners. The company later went on to file suit against the township.

A few miles up the road in Leland, developer J. Peterson proposed to build a three-story mixed use building at the north end of the unincorporated village. However, the building permit was denied after a review from the township planning commission found that the size and scope of the project did not fit the “character” of the village.
