COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Special Land Use permit request by the American Moslem Society to construct a Religious Assembly and building at 129 Perkins Street was approved Thursday night during a special meeting of the Coldwater Planning Commission.
Coldwater City Planner Dean Walrack says the American Moslem Society is negotiating the purchase of additional land from land owners directly to the east on Perkins Street and to the northeast on East Washington and will legally conform to all setback requirements as written. No variances will be necessary.
Walrack also said in his report to the Planning Commission for Thursday’s meeting that the City’s engineering consultant has reviewed the original plans and found that only minor corrections to the calculations were necessary, however no capacity issues were anticipated.
A final review of the updated Site Plan will be required but with the short timeframe and the favorable earlier review, Walrack said City Staff was recommending that the Site Plans be approved contingent upon final approval by the City’s engineering consultant prior to the issuance of any Soil Erosion and Sediment Control permits.
The site plan was approved with six contingencies which included having the applicant submit a Boundary Adjustment Application to the City Assessor along with deeds for the purchase of the additional lands necessary from the properties on Perkins and East Washington.
