Fraternity Gets OK to Convert Church

By

At its March 1, 2011 meeting, the Ann Arbor planning commission unanimously approved a special exception use for the Michigan Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, allowing it to convert a church at 730 Tappan into a fraternity house for no more than 44 residents. The building is located at the northwest corner of Tappan and Hill, and has been the home of the Memorial Christian Church. No changes are planned for the exterior. Tuesday’s meeting also included a public hearing on the request.

This brief was filed from the planning commission meeting at the Washtenaw County administration building, 220 N. Main St. A more detailed report will follow. [link]
