Shopping Center, Temporary Fireworks Display Back on Planning Commission Agenda

Two items placed on hold in April are back on the Royal Oak Planning Commission's agenda tonight at its 7:30 p.m. meeting at City Hall.

Normandy Shoppes

The developer of the proposed Normandy Shoppes asked for more time in April to flesh out plans for a 14,000-square feet shopping center next to Royal Oak High School at the corner of Crooks and Normandy

Tim Thwing, director of planning, confirmed last month that the developer spoke to the school district and then requested more time. 

Phantom Fireworks

The panel also put Phantom Fireworks on hold.

Alan Co. petitioned to place a temporary tent and storage container for fireworks sales at Ray & Sons Auto Repair for 10 days (June 27-July 6).

Planning commissioners requested representatives of Ray & Sons return this month to address parking and safety concerns.

The commission will review applications from:

• Nolan Real Estate Interests, LLC — conditional rezoning from Mixed Use 2 to General Industrial to construct a new EZ Storage facility on site of former Burger King restaurant and office building at 25538-25554 Woodward Ave.
• Timothy Patrick Real Estate, LLC — convert automobile repair garage into business/administrative/professional office at 426 E. Lincoln Ave.
