Portable concrete batching plants are also included under Temporary
Special Land Use and are subject to special conditions outlined in
the City Ordinance. A packet of information is available in the
Community Development Department, which is very helpful in assisting
an applicant with the permit process. Included in the packet is the
Temporary Special Land Use application and a copy of the ordinance
section pertaining to Temporary Special Land Use Permits. Applicants
are required to submit an application and all supplemental
information at least four (4) weeks prior to the use dates required.
All Applicants are required to provide a property sidwell number
that may be obtained from the Assessing Department (248) 347-0485.
Please be aware that public hearing notices are mailed to property
owners within 300 feet of the requested use address as well as
published in the local weekly newspaper.
Temporary Special Land Use hearings are informal meetings
comprised of the Building Official and the Temporary Use Permit
secretary and are open to the public. Hearings are held in the
Mayor’s Conference room fifteen (15) days after the public hearing
notifications have been announced. The Applicant or a representative
is required to attend the meeting to discuss the temporary use
requested and answer any questions the Building Official may have
regarding the safety of residents affected by the use as well as to
confirm compliance with required city and state code. If the request
is approved the applicant will receive a copy of the permit in the
mail, which is to be posted at all times during the approved use
dates for the permit.
