Board Denies Henry Street Exit for Peters Complex
Zoning Board of Appeals denied a Henry Street exit for Paul Peters' commercial complex at 203 W. Michigan Ave while granting a 60 space parking variance with trees required to screen the lot. Residents argued the rear exit would raise traffic, lower property values, flood basements, and harm streetscape. The project aims to attract medical labs, an ad agency, offices, a dress shop, and other shops to downtown Saline.
