5/18/14 - The Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Brighton Township will be undergoing some improvements following last Monday nightâs planning commission meeting. The church is located on Hilton Road between Grand River and Old US-23, where two additions will be constructed on the west side of the current building and a pole barn added for storage. A special land use permit was required for the project since the church is located in a residential area. It was granted while a preliminary site plan review was also conducted. During the public hearing, some residents in an adjacent subdivision raised questions about ongoing drainage and standing water problems, which may or may not have anything to do with the church property but will be investigated. Officials stated that nothing will be changing dramatically and the traffic impact is expected to be very minimal since the church is not adding extra services or changing times but rather shuffling staff and office space for increased functionality. The Cornerstone Christian School will not be impacted and it was also agreed to work on increasing landscaping plans with the church administratively, preferably along Hilton and Hunter Roads. All of the final approvals and construction plans will be handled administratively with township staff. The proposed building plans for the Cornerstone expansion project may be viewed on the churchâs website. Youâll find that link below. (JM)
