(Daily News Photo) Addison Planning Commission Okays Rezoning Request By KAREN YAGER Addison Correspondent ADDISON The Rollin Township Planning Commission recommended the rezoning of a parcel of land along Manitou Road from agricultural to highway commercial to make way for a used car lot. The rezoning request came from Mr.

and Mrs. Eldon Smith, who operate a used car lot on the corner of Manitou Road and Townley Highway. They have been asked to leave their present location when the lease expires in June. Smith has agreed to purchase the land, located almost directly across from the St. On The Lake Catholic Church, providing the rezoning is ap- Droved.

The Smiths had originally purchased land in the summer which included eight lots located on the north side of Manitou Road between Devils Lake Highway and Grove Street, from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Chestney, with the final sales agreement contingent on the rezoning approval. The Chestneys requested in August that the township board approve their rezoning request. The main objections raised by residents to the rezoning at that time were the precedent of and the undesirability of a used car lot in a residential neighborhood.

The township planning commission rejected the request as did the Lenawee County Planning Commission and the township board. Smith is now asking for rezoning of Ix)ts 1 and 2 adjoining farmland of the Daytona Heights Subdivision located on the south side of Manitou Road. The main objection from township residents on this proposal was the precedent of and worry over future use of the land should Smith decide to close the used car lot after a period of time. First class letters of notification were sent to all landowners within 500 feet of the proposed property to be rezoned Drior to the meeting. Other residents who approved of the rezoning request said that the township should encourage the building of businesses in the township.

The planning commission, after a short period of recess, announced its decision in favor of the request, based upon the majority opinion of the residents present.
