Luxury condominiums proposed for Canton Township farmland

    Members of the Canton Township Planning Commission unanimously recommended a request to rezone an 11-acre farm near the intersection of Cherry Hill and Beck Road to accommodate construction of luxury condominiums.
    Pulte Homes plans a 68-unit detached single family condominium development on 34.68 acres of property, which is among the last property zoned as farmland in the township. The planning commissioners found that the rezoning request presented last week by Mike Noles, a spokesman for the The Umlor Group, met the 10 requirements for rezoning.
    The proposed condominiums will range in price from $400,000 to upwards of $500,000, Noles said. He suggested that members of the homeowner’s association in the new condominiums would pay about $1,800 for snow removal and landscaping maintenance.
    The project will now go to the Canton Board of Trustees for consideration. If approved by the board, the developer will prepare a site plan for the project which includes another two parcels of land abutting the farmland already zoned for residential use. As presented, exit and entry would be from both Beck and Cherry Hill roads, a concern of some commission members aware of traffic on Beck Road.
    Noles said if the site plan process was approved, construction at the site could begin in approximately one year.
