#1Citizen: Let us all not forget the Chris*Craft property once owned by the City of Algonac was a Mike Malik fiasco when he was an Algonac Council Member. (Although he resided in his Mother's Clay Township home due to his pending divorce - therefore not a true resident of Algonac).
The Chris*Craft property was donated to the City of Algonac but Malik pushed the sale to become the Algonac Harbor Club while he also worked for a local real estate agent.
Plans approved by the city were to include taxable housing developments, i.e. CONDOS. If memory serves me correctly, their soil expert claimed that nothing could be built on that property because the soil was "unstable."
Seems odd that a manufacturing plant had stood on that same unstable soil for many years.
The condos were removed from the plans and replaced by open boat slips. Not an equivalent tax base for the City of Algonac.
I would warn all citizens of Clay Twp. to be wary of the same scams. Homes have been built along the waterfront and still stand and the Chris*Craft property is no different than anywhere else these homes have been built.
I'm not an advocate of the development of Harsens Island but I am an opponent of deceptive measures to fill a few pockets of unscrupulous people.
So remember, the proposed CONDOS may end up being nothing more than boat wells with a road around them so we can all view their boats.Diverting the road gives private, clear access to the river for their own personal gain and non-public use. Similar to the Algonac Harbor Club but totally private.
Being a 40 year resident I'm familiar with the dishonesty of Mike Malik and those involved with him for their own personal financial gain.
