South Lyon Golf Course Proposed for Single-Family Development

Developers presented a conceptual plan to put 182 single-family homes the site of the 160-acre Cattails Golf Club in Lyon Township. The golf course has been a part of the community for more than 30 years. Brothers Mario, Frank and Tony Moscone owned and operated the golf course. With Mario and Frank’s deaths, Tony Moscone wants to make the property attractive to a diverse group of people. The property is directly across from the Woodlands of Lyon, a planned 103-home development. The proposed single family properties will have lots of 55 and 65 feet. More than half of the land would be preserved as open space in the conceptual plan, doubling the density allowed by ordinance. According to planner Brian Keesey, the planning commission has already voiced their objections.
