8/2/13 - In December of 2010, Oceola Township purchased the failing Chemung Hills Golf Club. Included in that purchase was a plot of residential-zoned land across the street. Less than an acre, the parcel was the site of a pump house and pipe to move water from the lake onto the golf course for irrigation. Now, some local residents want to know when the township is ready to sell it off. Supervisor Bill Bamber says one resident originally wrote in asking to buy the property, which got the issue on the township board's agenda. Soon after, another resident called to make the same offer. Bamber tells WHMI the township is not in a rush to sell this hot property. It met with the residents at its regular meeting last night, but did not commit to selling the land. It will now investigate what sort of uses are allowed on the residential-zoned parcel and whether anything could be built there. Bamber says both of those factors would greatly influence the asking price of the township. The township will address the issue again sometime in the coming months. (TD)
