Drive-thru coffee shop traffic concerns at Kegomic/US-31
Emmet County
Summary
Neighbors and the township board worry 300 more cars a day at the already congested US-31/M-119 and Kegomic/Zaiger intersections will make things dangerous, especially for Tannery Creek condo residents with only two exits. The county road engineer didn't think a traffic study was warranted, and the commission approved anyway 8-1.

Impact analysis
A traffic study could cost the applicant money, but staff said the ordinance doesn't clearly let them require one for a low-impact use; the drainage guarantee is $3,000.
Drivers already visiting the car wash and the area get a quick coffee option, plus new local jobs.
Tannery Creek condo residents say summer congestion on their only exits could become unbearable.
