1/22/13- The Brighton Township Board of Trustees approved the rezoning of a former gravel pit off of Buno Road for future residential use. Approval of the rezoning was recommended by both the Brighton and Livingston County planning commissions. Previous mining operations have left several small lakes that Elias Xenos of Brighton Investors, LLC plans to cultivate into one larger lake surrounded by 24 single family home sites. No additional mining will take place on the property, but materials will need to be relocated for this development. The rezoning will allow Xenos to begin working on these plans. The owners of neighboring properties have been working with Xenos to ensure that their developments will appear consistent when they are all finished. Some features of the housing development include a lake, two new roads, a private septic field for each site, and a possible storm water management system. Xenos can begin reworking the land once he obtains the proper extraction permits. Though Xenos will begin this process alone, he plans to partner with a home builder further down the road. (SO)
