1/18/13 - The Green Oak Township board Wednesday night decided against requested changes at the Hidden Lake Community, east of US-23, just north of Silver Lake Road. Earl LaFave of Green Oak Properties had been looking for permission to build individual condominiums in the subdivision, saying that detached condominiums are mortgaged more easily. But that plan was opposed by several residents who cited unfinished condominiums in the subdivision already called The Falls 2, which they say partially obstructs their view of the lake. Many also do not approve of the design and density of the new condominiums. Hidden Lake resident Bob Moran tells WHMI that itâs not only unwise economically, but visually as well. LaFave believes that the space can only be used for one thing and that he âcanât build anything there but detached condos.â LaFave says he was not seeking a variance, but instead the clarification of the ordinance and that he ââ¦will do whatever it takes to find a better clarification.â Green Oak trustees think a compromise can be made to satisfy both LaFave and the current residents.
