He said for example, the house is capable of being lived in in its current state and didn’t believe the addition was necessary. Lane also said he didn’t see this housing addition meeting all eight points of criteria the board requires. If all of these properties decided to expand, there would be issues. Lane said most of the residents in this area are in the same situation, having small plots of land. The uniqueness of the Lake Lansing district is what raised concerns for Planning Commission Representative Ken Lane. “They’re on very small lots and many of them date back to some of the original homes in the township because they were originally cottages,” he said. Township Board Representative Phil Deschaine said the home is in the Lake Lansing district known for its small lots in close proximity to the lake. The space would have provided a mud room, kitchen and an island with seating overlooking the lake. Steve and Colleen Sherman requested a variance that would allow them to build a 25-foot by 35-foot, single story addition to connect their living space with their garage. “Our objective is to build a place that our kids will want to come back to.” “We’ve been shopping around the lake area, we’ve been trying to find a house that’s suitable for our budget, suitable for our family,” said Steve Sherman. The single-family home property lies in the Lake Lansing residential overlay district with Lake Lansing directly south and Reynolds Road to the north. Steve and Colleen Sherman proposed to build an addition to their home located at 6425 East Reynolds Rd. However, the board unanimously voted on Feb.
