Subject: Objection to Special Land Use
Application for Vehicle Service Center – Parcel #26-06-27-300-023
Dear Ms. Whitsett, Jihn, Rebecca and Members of the New Haven Planning Commission,
I am writing as the owner of two parcels adjacent to the proposed vehicle service center at
59010 Gratiot Avenue, New Haven, Michigan (Parcel numbers 26-06-27-300-021 and 26-
06-27-300-022). I hereby formally object to the proposed special land use application
scheduled for public hearing on September 2, 2025, regarding parcel #26-06-27-300-023
(formerly Rite Aid).
I am concerned about the potential adverse environmental and non-environmental
impacts that this development may have on my properties and the surrounding area.
Specifically, I request that the Village provide comprehensive documentation and
guarantees that all necessary environmental assessments have been conducted, including
soil contamination, groundwater protection, air and noise pollution studies, and storm
water management. Furthermore, I want assurance that traffic impacts, property values,
zoning compatibility, and safety considerations have been thoroughly evaluated.
I also ask for written guarantees that proper mitigation measures and ongoing monitoring
will be in place to prevent any future harm or adverse effects to my properties as a result of
this development.
In addition, I respectfully request that the public hearing be postponed until all requested
studies and environmental assessments are made available for review to ensure due
process and protect the rights of adjacent property owners.
Please include this letter in the official record for this application. I trust the Commission
will carefully consider these concerns and ensure the proposed land use meets all
environmental, safety, and community standards before any approval is granted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I can be contacted via email at
ravindermakkar@hotmail.com or by mail at my address above.
Sincerely,
Ravinder Makkar
Best Regards
