The promised demolition of the Whoopee Bowl on Dixie Highway has been delayed again, according to Springfield Township attorney Greg Need.
Need’s report to the township board on Nov. 11 noted township official’s agreement with attorneys for the former flea market-salvage store to ‘voluntarily stay? the demolition order until the owners? appeal is complete in Oakland County Circuit Court.
The agreementrecognizes ‘that a judge would almost certainly stay the order until the appeal is decided.?
Need said the owners did comply with a township stipulation ‘that the property was secured and substantially cleaned up.? A Nov. 8 inspection revealed ‘substantial progress,? Need’s report said.
Despite pleas from the owners, the township board has legally declared the establishment a ‘dangerous building? and ruled the owners had not taken sufficient action to avoid demolition.
