The Metz (Schneiders site redevelopment)

[jeffster]

I hate that we allow 1 developer to buy up a piece of land this big

A private property owner selling land to another private property owner, there really aren't any restrictions that a government can apply.

Not only that, but the process of severing a property into pieces is time consuming and expensive. Been there, and it's not an enjoyable right. Might have to go there again for property on Lake Huron -- and again, not looking forward to the process if it's needed. The land size itself is 20% larger than the Schneider property (excluding the parking lot off to the side of the one street) - 1,089,000 SF.
