No permit for Leland project

A new mixed-use building proposed for Leland is not in keeping with the “character” of the village.

Leland Township Planning Commission members voted during its Dec. 6 meeting to deny a special use permit for an 11,590 square-foot commercial and residential structure located on Main Street. The property is across from the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Building.

Over the past several months, the planners have reviewed plans submitted by Joel Peterson, ultimately finding that the structure is not in keeping with the “character” of the unincorporated village.
