City of Battle Creek’s ‘Master Plan’<\/a>. <\/p>\nOther residents pointed out potential economic concerns related to no longer having a golf course in the area, such as a loss in revenue to nearby restaurants and businesses and devalued properties. <\/p>\n
During the meeting, Todd Krajniak, a partner with Interstate Capital and director of acquisitions, emphasized the importance of community feedback in shaping the project. <\/p>\n
“We wanted to better understand and avoid conflicts,” he said.<\/p>\n
Jason Raleigh, a senior project manager at AR Engineering, said he also heard the communities feedback and would be taking it to his team to brainstorm what they need to do differently.<\/p>\n
“Potentially change the whole approach or reduce the concerning portions [and] the impacts of that. Whether that’s showing more of the vision,” Raleigh said.<\/p>\n
Among ideas he shared as potential options were paths, small parks or playgrounds, greenspace and landscaping.<\/p>\n
The updated proposal, based on the provided feedback, will soon go to the city’s planning division for review before being recommended to the board of commissioners as a “conditional zoning application,” the team said. <\/p>\n
A notice of the city commission meeting in which this proposal will be shared is expected to go out by mail to nearby residents and will be posted on the city’s website, according to Darcy Schmitt, planning supervisor.<\/p>\n
The city commission will ultimately decide on whether to approve conditional zoning for the final proposal with specific limitations and qualifications binding to the development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATTLE CREEK, Mich. \u2014 An early proposal to convert a Battle Creek golf course into an industrial-residential complex…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":146371,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[42875,55995,8177,1430,12800,86597,86599,44991,86598,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-146370","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-battle-creek","9":"tag-community-feedback","10":"tag-economic-concerns","11":"tag-golf","12":"tag-golf-course","13":"tag-industrial-residential-complex","14":"tag-interstate-capital-investments","15":"tag-residential-district","16":"tag-riverside-golf-club","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115029844049567914","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
