On June 4, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted an administrative review and site plan review of a proposal to create a Site Condominium Subdivision to be called Hemlock Park, which is proposed to have 26 units located at 3100 Highway M-553.

The Land Development Code specifies a two-step review process - the Planning Commission first reviews the site condominium proposal and provides a recommendation to the City Commission.  The Planning Commission made the following motion after consideration of the proposal as documented in application materials, a staff report, site plans, and other related materials, and dialogue with the applicant:

It was moved by C. Gottlieb, seconded by K. Clegg  and carried 9-0, that after review of the site plan and the supplemental documentation dated 04-26-24, and the Staff Report for 10-SPR-06-24 & 01-CSD-06-24, the Planning Commission finds substantial compliance with the City of Marquette Land Development Code Section 54.1405 and Section 54.503 and hereby recommends that the City Commission approve 10-SPR-06-24 & 01-CSD-06-24 with the following condition - that an amended plan is submitted to meet staff comments.

Approval of the condominium and site condominium by the City Commission or City staff, shall confer upon the developer the right to proceed with preparation of a condominium master deed.  Copies of the draft master deed and/or restrictive covenants shall be provided to the Zoning Administrator for review by the City to determine compliance with City ordinances and standards prior to final approval of the condominium or site condominium or as a condition of final approval.  Within one year of the completion of development project the developer shall furnish the Zoning Administrator with two (2) copies of an “as built survey”. The “as built survey” shall be reviewed by the City Engineer and/or the Zoning Administrator to verify compliance with City ordinances and standards.
