PPUDF26-01 Hackl Automotive Sales and Service

Emmet County

Description

A proposed auto sales lot, body/repair shop and oil change facility on a 1.98-acre split-zoned parcel with a 2005 PUD that prohibits outdoor sales — postponed to May 7, 2026 after strong neighborhood opposition and unresolved Health Department, drainage, and parking issues.

Impact summary

If approved as proposed, the corner east of Louie's Market would host outdoor car display and repair bays near a residential neighborhood — raising groundwater, noise, lighting and traffic questions the commission wants answered first.

Hackl auto sales and repair PUD amendment, Bear Creek Township

A proposed car sales, repair and oil change business at 2430 E. Mitchell Road drew strong opposition from nearby residents worried about groundwater, noise, overnight lighting, and property values — and the existing PUD actually prohibits outdoor sales. The case is postponed to May 7 while the township studies the site and the use question.
