7/24/13 - The Howell Township Board rejected three special use permits this week for Regal Recycling. The facility was seeking special use permits for three operations currently working out of a larger location. They included Starlight Supply, which is a junkyard and recycling operation; Lucy Landscaping, which is a retail outlet; and Weâre So Tired, which provides auto maintenance and tire sales. Regal began these operations about two years ago but only recently sought permits. However, the Howell Township Board rejected the applications and the operations must therefore be shut down. Township Clerk Carolyn Eaton says owner Vern Brockway has done an excellent job fixing up that facility and the board had a hard time denying the permits, but in the end they were not appropriate for the zoning and conflicted with the townshipâs master plan. The associated activities had also generated complaints from nearby residents. (TD)
