Sunrise Senior Assisting Living Center
Bloomfield Township Supervisor Dave Payne announced today
that after a two-year search for an appropriate site within
Bloomfield Township, Sunrise Development, Inc. will build a
Senior Assisted Living center on the west side of Telegraph
Road, north of Square Lake Road, where a vacant restaurant
(Chi Chi’s) now stands.
"This is a great solution for everyone involved," said
Payne. "Our senior residents and their families have long felt
the need for a nearby quality facility, and that parcel of
land needed to be re-developed. We have worked with Sunrise
for two years to find a site within the Township that would be
suitable for everyone’s purposes."
The search for a site began in August, 2002 when officials
from Sunrise recognized the need in Bloomfield Township for a
senior assisted living facility and studied various locations.
The site initially chosen did not meet the Township’s zoning
and land use requirements.
With cooperation from the Township’s Planning Department,
the vacant Chi Chi’s restaurant was identified as a viable
location. The location’s benefits meet several goals:
It removes a long-standing vacant building from
prominent Telegraph Road frontage;
It allows for a viable development which meets
identified community needs; it complies with zoning and
ordinance requirements;
It doesn’t adversely impact the nearby wetland area;
Laura Hester, Development Officer for Sunrise Development,
Inc., said, "The diligent efforts of Bloomfield Township’s
Supervisor and Planning Director saved us from leaving the
community and steered us to a site that would be well suited
for our type of development within Bloomfield Township. We are
pleased to be bringing a valuable service to Bloomfield
Township."
