Public hearings are planned this month on a proposed expansion to the Lakeshore Village apartment complex in Genoa Township. The board met Monday night and set a public hearing on a rezoning request from Lockwood Companies, which would expand the project onto some adjacent land. This would be a third phase of the existing project, which is on an aggressive timeline. Lakeshore Village is several years old now and the adjoining piece of property that became available to the developer totals roughly 27 acres on the east side of Chilson Road, south of Grand River. Supervisor Gary McCririe tells WHMI itâs the same developer that intends to expand the subsidized housing stock onto the new parcel and take some existing subsidized housing that is income dependent and turn it into market rate rentals, which are not subsidized by HUD credits. Lockwood Companies is seeking a rezoning from medium to high density residential. It was noted during the meeting that the area is already planned for high density per the updated master plan. Developers were successful in obtaining money from the Michigan State Housing and Development Authority. However, township officials noted the MSHDA funding comes with very strict and almost unreasonable deadlines for the developer to obtain local approval. A public hearing will be held by the planning commission next week and then the township board March 21st. The planning commission may make a recommendation to the township board on the rezoning and the site plan but McCririe says itâs a timing issue at this point. (JM)

Howell Man Arraigned On Larceny ChargesHowell Man Arraigned On Larceny Charges
A Howell man who allegedly scammed an elderly couple out of several thousand dollars has been arraigned. 35-year-old Timothy Paul Corneilius is charged with larceny by conversion of $1,000 or more but less than $20,000 and as a 4th time habitual offender. Corneilius was arraigned on Monday and his bond is set at $50,000 cash or surety. Two felony warrants were issued for Corneilius who allegedly scammed an elderly couple after taking money from them to build a deck, which he never followed through with. Ron Johnson says his in-laws - Julius and Janet Fauer â paid Cornelius $4,500 but all they ever got was the runaround. He says Cornelius claimed to be hurt at first and had to put the job on hold but then continually made up excuses, eventually promising the family a full refund. That has yet to happen, which Johnson says prompted them to go public, as well as learning about his past criminal record. Michigan Department of Corrections records show Corneilius is currently on probation in Livingston County and has multiple convictions stemming from incidents involving checks without an account or sufficient funds, as well as domestic violence and interfering with electronic communications. Corneilius is due back in court March 16th for a probable cause conference. (DK)

Brighton Fire Authority Dealing With Increased Demands In Growing CommunityBrighton Fire Authority Dealing With Increased Demands In Growing Community
As incidents increase and the community continues to grow, so too does the demand placed on the Brighton Area Fire Authority. Fire Chief Mike OâBrian paid the Genoa Township board a visit Monday night, one of the three municipalities that comprise the Authority, to update members on current activities and recap 2015. The annual report revealed that everywhere staff is involved; demands are increasing from inspections to incidents including fires, medical runs and accidents. Whether it can be attributed to changes in the economy, more people coming to the area or new construction, OâBrian says the department is seeing an increase in just about everything they do and 2016 is only getting busier. In order to keep up with increasing demands, sustain current staffing volumes and operations, the Authority will be seeking a quarter-mill increase to its current millage this August. OâBrian tells WHMI the increase is being sought to assure they can respond to community needs in the City of Brighton, Genoa and Brighton Townships over an upcoming five year period. He noted the Authority is debt-free, spending appropriately and seeing decreased response times. However, he says the millage rate has remained the same for the past ten years and there have been major declines in revenue over the years but theyâre still trying to operate a fire department that can meet community demands. Thereâs been a large emphasis on prevention efforts and community risk reduction to hopefully prevent incidents from occurring and keep run volumes low. The departmentâs smoke alarm installation program has received statewide acclaim and OâBrian commended staff, noting it is one of the best in the state but it takes a lot of effort whether checking alarms on runs or fielding questions and requests. Just last year, he said they had nearly 17 saves from smoke alarms that were installed and benefited the occupants. Staffing has been added over the past two years to keep up with demands and everyone is very well trained, which has translated to increased âsaveâ rates when firefighters have to perform CPR. Public education efforts on the millage request will be forthcoming. (JM)

Judge Drops Marijuana Charges Against South Lyon Man Judge Drops Marijuana Charges Against South Lyon Man
Charges have been dropped against one of three men tied to the alleged illegal growing of large quantities of marijuana. 50-year-old Jeffrey Mote of South Lyon, 42-year-old Anthony Portelli and 60-year-old Richard Lee Riley of Brighton were originally charged in the case with delivering or manufacturing between 5 and 45 kilograms of marijuana, as well as a generic charge of delivering or manufacturing marijuana. The case against Mote was recently dismissed due to insufficient evidence by Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hatty. Livingston County Prosecutor Bill Vailliencourt tells WHMI if police are able to identify or uncover additional evidence, they will review it to determine if the charges should be re-filed. Vailliencourt says while they thought the evidence was sufficient to support the charge, and the district judge agreed, Judge Hatty had a different view of the evidence. The charges followed a police raid in May of 2013 (pictured) on an alleged marijuana dispensary in Brighton Township and two other homes, which authorities say were being used to grow the substance. Police say Riley was in charge of growing the plants, Portelli managed the dispensary and the homes were reportedly owned by Mote. Moteâs defense attorney argued his client owns and operates a legitimate business, Grow Green MI, and there was no evidence connecting Mote to the marijuana grow operations. Mote was under surveillance for a three year period and an undercover officer previously testified he was never seen visiting or entering either home. The case against all three men has spanned years, with motions alleging various medical marijuana defenses being held in abeyance. Portelliâs case remains pending while Riley was sentenced to six months of probation after pleading guilty to maintaining a drug house in exchange for the original charges being dismissed. (JM)

Hamburg Twp. Reaffirms Verizon Cell Phone Tower DecisionHamburg Twp. Reaffirms Verizon Cell Phone Tower Decision
Some Putnam Township residents are not pleased with a cell phone tower that was erected without their notice but unfortunately for them, itâs not going anywhere. The Verizon Wireless communications tower was built several years ago on the Pinckney Navigator School site and a Hamburg Township ordinance requires residents that live within 300 ft of the structure be notified before it is constructed. The township did that, but did not notify a handful of Putnam Township residents who too fall into that jurisdiction and would require notification. Hamburg Township Attorney John Drury says that was an âoversightâ, but the Putnam residents that live on Scholar Drive are not satisfied with his reasoning. A lawsuit was filed against Hamburg Township last year and the township was court-ordered to hold a public hearing regarding the application for the wireless tower, which was entertained by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) on Wednesday. Residents in attendance had the chance to make their case against the already-constructed tower, as well as attorneys representing them, Verizon Wireless and Pinckney Community Schools. Resident Shawn Glaser shared concerns about the tower, including radiation, an unpleasant aesthetic and a decrease in his property value. The ZBA chose to reaffirm their original decision to allow the tower and a variance request that allows it to stand 85 ft from the west property line, as opposed to the required 195 ft. Several of the commissioners apologized to the residents who were not notified, however they noted even if that mistake had not been made, they likely still would have voted in support of the tower anyway. Many of the residents said they were not surprised by the boardâs decision, but arenât giving up. The lawsuit against Hamburg is still standing with the Livingston County Circuit Court and the residents are pursuing an appeal of the ZBAâs most recent decision. (DK)

LACASA Teen Council's Awareness Campaign Hits High Schools This MonthLACASA Teen Council's Awareness Campaign Hits High Schools This Month
A sexual assault and dating violence awareness campaign is launching this month across Livingston County high schools. LACASA Centerâs Teen Advisory Council has developed an original campaign to help educate their peers on the various forms of sexual assault, harassment, and rape. Community Education Director and Volunteer Coordinator Nicole Matthews-Creech came up with the idea for the council five years ago while talking with her boss. She said she saw an energy and passion in many of the teens that wanted to get involved. The program has been running for four years, rotating between a focus on dating violence once year, and sexual assault the next. LACASA Youth Prevention Educator Kayla Dillon told WHMI the theme for this yearâs program is called âThe Bystander Effect: How will you respond?â Dillon said it aims to educate teens on how their actions or inaction can positively or negatively affect the community. The team will visit and give a presentation in ten high schools across the county and provide informational resources and materials. Posters will be hung in counseling offices and bathrooms, with pull tabs for students who know someone who may need help. To learn more about the campaign, visit the link below. Matthews-Creech and Dillon will also be featured this week on WHMI's Viewpoint program, Sunday morning at 8:30. (MK)

Hartland Township Reviews Water And Sewer BudgetsHartland Township Reviews Water And Sewer Budgets
The Hartland Township Board of Trustees reviewed their water and sewer operational funds budgets and they are skewing upwards. Township Manager James Wickman led a presentation and discussion with board members at a special meeting Wednesday night. He said that water has been performing very well in the five-and-a-half months since the township took over operations in-house. This is allowing them to save money by not contracting out the maintenance work like the previously had. Some board members thought this might be an opportunity to pass some savings on to the consumer. Wickman said that there is a chance rates wonât need to rise, but he wouldnât advocate that because of inflation. The sewer system has been working at a deficit, but it slowly rising out of it. Wickman said money has been saved on some refunded bonds and the township recently had a large delinquent payment made to it. The boardâs goal is to chip away at the net operating loss and be working at a surplus in five years. If a significant development at M-59 and Fenton Road continues and goes through, it will secure the townshipâs ability to pay back existing sewer bonds and stabilize rates. The township is holding a budget hearing next Wednesday, at 6pm at the township hall. (MK)

Wixom Man Who Robbed Credit Union Gets Prison SentenceWixom Man Who Robbed Credit Union Gets Prison Sentence
Sentencing has been handed down to a Wixom man who says he robbed a credit union in order to pay for his childâs chemotherapy treatments. 23-year-old Brian Randolph has been sentenced to 45 months to 25 years in prison with a credit of 208 days served. Randolph was originally charged with armed robbery and bank robbery, but in January pleaded no contest to one count of bank robbery in exchange for the dismissal of armed robbery. The incident occurred last August, in which Randolph says he robbed the Vibe Credit Union in South Lyon in an act of desperation. The man claims his 1-year-old daughter is battling a form of eye cancer and the family couldnât afford her chemotherapy treatments after her insurance was unexpectedly cancelled. However, the South Lyon Police say Randolph purchased luxury items with the stolen money. Randolph will also be required to pay $4,996 in restitution. (DK)

Crash Forces Lengthy Closure of 8 Mile Overpass Over US-23 Crash Forces Lengthy Closure of 8 Mile Overpass Over US-23
UPDATE: Northbound US-23 at 8 Mile Road will remain closed due to an accident earlier this morning. 8 Mile Road over northbound US-23 was severely damaged and it was determined that the structure will need to be demolished before northbound US-23 can safely reopen. MDOT is currently in the process of implementing an emergency contract to have that bridge removed. It is unclear at this time when northbound US-23 will reopen.
A truck crash this morning that forced the closure of northbound US-23 just south of the Livingston County line will likely be a traffic problem for much longer than just todayâs commute. Northfield Township Police say a traffic crash earlier this morning involving a semi-truck on northbound US-23 that struck the Eight Mile Road overpass and caused significant bridge damage. Due to the severity of the damage, Michigan Department of Transportation engineers have determined that, in the interest of motorist safety, the bridge over US-23 at Eight Mile remain closed until repairs can be made. MDOT spokeswoman Kari Arend says the crash happened about 5am, when a semi hauling a "reach-all" extension ladder had it raised too high and hit the overpass causing extensive damage to the bridge beams. Arend says they hope to get the northbound lanes of US-23 open by mid-afternoon, but the overpass itself could be closed for up to three months. She notes that the bridge was slated for replacement next year as part of a previously planned project, but whether or not they can accelerate that plan or use a short-term fix is still being determined. Either way, the closure will require a detour of traffic for the next few months while repairs are being made. Officials advise motorists to plan accordingly and seek alternate routes until the bridge is back open.(JK)

Brighton Man Identified In Tree Trimming Death Brighton Man Identified In Tree Trimming Death
Authorities have released the name of a Brighton tree trimmer who died after falling about 40 feet onto a wooden deck at an Ann Arbor home. 28-year-old Scott Alan Redding Jr. was working last week at a private residence when part of his climbing harness broke, causing him to fall. He was taken to a hospital and passed away March 1st. Redding worked for Ann Arbor-based Urban Foresters for ten years and was ascending the tree to trim it when he fell to the deck below. The company said he was secured to the tree with a rope and harness when the piece that connects the two broke in half. Redding was laid to rest last week, with funeral services held at the Borek Jennings Funeral Home Hamburg Chapel. His obituary states he loved the outdoors, enjoyed hunting and was an avid fisherman but most importantly enjoyed spending time with his family. The death is under investigation by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration. (JM)

Eight Mile Road Bridge At Northbound US-23 Closed Eight Mile Road Bridge At Northbound US-23 Closed
UPDATE: Northbound US-23 traffic is being diverted at Eight Mile in Whitmore Lake. Eight Mile Road over US-23 between Whitmore Lake Road and Main Street will be closed indefinitely until repairs can be completed on the bridge.
The Eight Mile Road bridge over northbound US-23 in Northfield Township will be closed for several months in the interest of motorist safety. MDOT engineers have since determined that the Eight Mile Road bridge over northbound US-23 will need to be completely demolished but until that happens, both will remain closed. The bridge near the Washtenaw/Livingston County line was severely damaged in a morning crash involving a semi-truck with a high load. Due to the severity of damage to the bridge beams, the Michigan Department of Transportation has determined that it will remain closed and the structure will need to be completely demolished before northbound US-23 can safely reopen. There is no exact timeline. M-DOT Spokeswoman Kari Arend says she canât confirm or deny how long it will take to rebuild the bridge but that will ultimately determine when Eight Mile Road will re-open and motorists should probably plan on several months. Arend tells WHMI they understand the inconvenience but there is a process in place they need to follow and will try to get everything operational as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Michigan State Police are investigating the crash in which a white 2001 Peterbilt semi being driven by a 53-year-old Ohio man was towing a trailer with a large piece of equipment on it and struck the Eight Mile Road Bridge while traveling northbound on US-23. Police say a second semi, a red 2015 Volvo driven by a 45-year-old Chicago man, struck the first semi after the bridge crash. There were no injuries to either driver and police say the crash investigation is continuing. Due to the bridge location, the closures will result in various traffic detours for the next several months while the repairs are being made. Arend says they ask that motorists plan accordingly and seek alternate routes until the bridge is back open. (JM)

A local police chief had the opportunity to choose and honor the newly named Legislator of the Year. The Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police (MACP) named Senator Rick Jones, representative of the 24th district, Legislator of the Year at an annual conference in Grand Rapids. Howell Police Chief George Basar is the MACPâs legislative chair, having held the position for the last 15 years and is a former president of the group. The MACP chooses a legislator they work closely with each year on law enforcement and criminal justice bills to recognize them for their support and dedication to the system. Chief Basar, along with Former MACP president and Grand Ledge Police Chief Martin Underhill, and current MACP president and Northville Township Chief John Werth, presented the organizationâs award to Jones. Chief Basar tells WHMI Jones is a returning recipient of the award and the MACP had the opportunity to partner with him on a medical marijuana bill. Chief Basar says the bill provides a regulatory framework in relation to dispensaries, manufacturing and distribution of medical marijuana. Chief Basar says that bill and the MACPâs experience with Jones was one of the reasons why the senator was chosen. Jones, who is a former Eaton County sheriff and chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he will continue to work hard to make the state a safer place and is honored to be recognized. (DK)

Marion Twp Supports Ballot Proposal For Millage From Howell Parks And RecMarion Twp Supports Ballot Proposal For Millage From Howell Parks And Rec
A new millage for local taxpayers could appear on the ballot for the August primary election. The Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority (HAPRA) is looking into asking residents for a .75 millage to help stabilize their income. The HAPRA is compromised of the City of Howell, Oceola, Marion and Genoa Townships, each of which contribute to the authority to help fund it. Paul Rogers, Executive Director of Parks and Rec, says 30% of their budget is a fixed revenue source, but the other 70% is found through sponsorships, program fees and donations. Rogers tells WHMI if the .75 mills were approved by voters, the revenue would be split to address some needs. Rogers says .5 mills would be used for operating expenses and .25 would be used for capital or a potentially new facility. Rogers says there is an increasing demand in the community for an indoor facility and the HAPRA is looking for land or existing spaces to supply that. Rogers came before the Marion Township Board of Trustees on Thursday, seeking their support for the ballot proposal. While some board members did not personally think they would vote in favor of the millage, they decided to let taxpayers have their say and approved the proposal for the ballot. Trustee Dan Lowe was the only dissenting vote. If the millage were approved, it is expected to generate about $1.5 million dollars, which would come entirely from residents. The municipalities involved in HAPRA would no longer be required to contribute. The proposal has received approval from Oceola Township and has yet to come before the other municipalities. Rogers says he is âvery optimisticâ taxpayers will vote in support of the millage. (DK)

8 Mile Road Bridge Demolished Overnight To Get Freeway Back Open8 Mile Road Bridge Demolished Overnight To Get Freeway Back Open
Bridge demolition took place overnight as crews worked to reopen the northbound lanes of US-23 at 8 Mile Road following Thursday morningâs crash into the overpass by a semi. The entire freeway had to be closed for much of Thursday evening to allow the emergency operation to proceed. The southbound lanes were reopened after midnight, while the northbound lanes opened just before 5am. The demolition was necessary after authorities say a semi-truck carrying a high load struck the 8 Mile bridge, causing significant damage to the bridgeâs structural beams. MDOT engineers quickly determined the structure needed to come down, as it posed an undue risk to traffic passing beneath it. Meanwhile, the 8 Mile Road bridge will remain closed for months during the tear-down and replacement. Michigan State Police continue to investigate the crash in which a white 2001 Peterbilt semi being driven by a 53-year-old Ohio man was towing a trailer with a large piece of equipment on it and struck the bridge while traveling northbound on US-23.

Marion Twp Will Pay Off Sewer And Water Bonds EarlyMarion Twp Will Pay Off Sewer And Water Bonds Early
Marion Township will officially be debt-free as of June 2nd. On Thursday, the Marion Township Board of Trustees unanimously voted in support of a resolution that will pay of their sanitary sewer system and water main extension bonds. Supervisor Bob Hanvey says this will save the township over $180,000 by not allowing the bonds to go to full term through 2019. The township currently has a rough estimate of $8 million dollars available and completely paying off their debt will cost around $4 million. Hanvey says this leaves enough money for unexpected expenditures or work on the sewer plant. Moreover, he says the township will not be spending any more money than theyâll already have to on the bonds, theyâll just be making the payments early to save on interest. Hanvey says once the bond is paid off, funds will be used for future expansion and repairs. (DK)

5th Annual Maison Z. Wilkinson Memorial Fundraiser Next Weekend 5th Annual Maison Z. Wilkinson Memorial Fundraiser Next Weekend
A community garage sale and memorial fundraiser in Fowlerville next weekend aims to replenish funds for a scholarship created in honor of a young boy killed in a tragic accident. The garage sale serves as a fundraiser for the Maison Z. Wilkinson Memorial Fund. The 8-year-old boy was accidentally run over and killed by a garbage truck in 2006. His parents, Andrew and Maylene Wilkinson, started the soccer scholarship fund at the high school about a year after his death and the Fowlerville Junior High Schoolâs Friends of Rachel group stepped in to assist and raise additional funds to ensure the program could continue. Enough money has been raised to provide $1,000 scholarships to one boy and girl who have played soccer at the high school. 7th grade English Teacher Amy Jarvis is the group coordinator and says the event keeps Maisonâs memory alive and helps his parents honor him. Maison was in 3rd grade when the accident happened and would have graduated this year. Jarvis tells WHMI both the Fowlerville community and those across Livingston County have been amazing in supporting the scholarships and event. In addition to the items at the garage sale from 9am to 3pm next Saturday, there will be a baked goods sale and raffle of items from various businesses and gift certificates. Donations will be accepted toward the scholarship fund. Community members can drop off items for the garage sale next Friday the 18th after 2:30pm. Jarvis says any leftover items are donated to charity and tax write-off forms are available. Volunteers are also being sought to assist with set-up after 2:30pm next Friday and then clean-up after 3pm on Saturday. Those interested can contact Jarvis via email at jarvisa@fowlervilleschools.org. (JM)
