Planning commission approves CT Electric site plan at 5315 Wind Road

The Comstock Township Planning Commission voted to approve a site plan for a CT Electric warehousing, office and storage facility at 5315 Wind Road. Staff reported the site is in an M (manufacturing) district and that the proposed building, setbacks, landscaping, trash enclosure, parking and exterior lighting meet the township's ordinance standards; commissioners moved to approve the site plan and accepted the applicant’s maintenance plan.

Applicant representatives described a pre-engineered steel building on the west side of the lot with a large parking area and a single permitted driveway (the Kalamazoo County Road Commission denied a second drive). Staff and the township engineer confirmed compliance; the commission approved the motion on a voice vote and staff said it will issue an approval letter next week to document findings and conditions. "Based on staff findings of fact and supporting documents provided by both fire and engineering reviews... we approve this site plan for 5315 Wind Road and accept the proposed maintenance plan," the motion states.
