“I still think we made the right decision," Mayor Jim Ellison said of turning down the controversial proposal to build a grocery store on Main Street.
At last month’s Planning Commission meeting, commissioners declared their intentions to deny Kroger's proposal to build a store at the vacant Fresard auto dealership lot on Main Street. It's expected to be official Tuesday night. A finding of fact has been drawn up by the city's Planning Department staff to accurately detail the Planning Commission’s reasons for denying the 45,248-square-foot Kroger project proposed for the lot at 400 N. Main St. The July 12 meeting was Kroger’s second attempt at having its plan accepted. Though Kroger came back with a modified plan from its original 49,714-square-foot plan, the changes were still not in line with the Planning Commission’s vision of expanding Royal Oak’s walkable community and maintaining …
