A “for sale” sign sits outside of the single-family home at 21560 23 Mile Road, but do not bother calling the number. Macomb Township trustees approved the $195,000 sale of the property at the Oct. 9 Board of Trustees meeting.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — It took over two months, but a township-owned home will soon change hands.
Trustees approved the $195,000 sale of a single-family home at 21560 23 Mile Road at the Oct. 9 Macomb Township Board of Trustees meeting.
Sold as-is, the property was purchased in 2021 due to the risk it would be damaged by the reconstruction of a nearby pump station.
“It did have some mold issues,” Macomb Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “Our broker generously agreed to list it for no fee, and they were able to solicit a full-price cash offer which the exact price we paid for (the property.)”
Mold remediation estimated to cost at least $30,000 is required for the property, though it was not damaged by the pump station project. Roseville-based RGS Commercial LLC purchased the home and is responsible for paying the transfer taxes.
Premier Academy rezoning
Trustees also approved changes to the conditional rezoning of the Premier Academy child care center at the corner of 21 Mile and Card roads. The requested amendments to the conditional rezoning include reducing the width of the dumpster enclosure to 10 feet 4 inches from 12 feet and adding a break in a masonry wall to allow for an aluminum fence to be built.
“As we finished the site development there was an issue with the size of the dumpster enclosure that we are cleaning up with this amendment, as well as an issue with the masonry wall,” Macomb Township Planning Director Josh Bocks said.
“They left a gap that was closed with a decorative aluminum fence. The point of that was to save a tree that was on a neighboring property. The neighbor wanted to keep the tree. If the wall had closed the gap, the footing of the wall would have cut the roots and probably killed the tree.”
Street lighting SAD
Trustees also approved a special assessment district for the Wolverine Country Club Estates II site condominium development. The district is to collect funds to cover the cost of lighting the development’s streets.
All properties in the development are owned by the developer, and a public hearing for the SAD received no public comments.
