Michigan Condo Loses Battle to Block New Fire Station
Follow @curtvarone
The Michigan Supreme Court has denied an attempt by a condo association to block the construction of a new fire station. The Autumn Park Condominium Association was seeking to prevent the Meridian Charter Township from building a new 10,700-square-foot fire station near their condo complex. The association was apparently concerned that the fire station would adversely affect their quality of life and diminish the value of their property.
Last October, the Michigan Court of Appeals declined to hear the association’s appeal concluding their case lacked “merit in the grounds presented.” On Friday, the Michigan Supreme Court agreed issuing a terse one sentence ruling stating: “On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 14, 2014 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.”
According to Township Manager Frank Walsh, construction of the new station will proceed as planned.
