State high court takes pass on zoning dispute
SALEM TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court won't interfere in a zoning dispute linked to a state Republican leader that's on the ballot in a township near Ann Arbor.
The court heard arguments Wednesday, less than a week before the election, and later said it's staying on the sideline.
A developer says a local judge should have blocked a referendum in Washtenaw County's Salem Township on the rezoning of 92 acres. Salem Springs LLC says opponents missed a deadline to turn in petitions.
Salem Springs is owned by Schostak Brothers & Co. Bobby Schostak is chairman of the Michigan Republican Party.
The developer's website describes Salem Springs as a mix of residential and retail near M-14.
