Law, Weathers and Richardson, P.C. This past January, the Michigan Court of Appeals’ decision in Higgins Lake Property Owners Ass’n v Gerrish Twp, 255 Mich App 83 (2003), upheld and confirmed its earlier opinion in the case of Jacobs v Lyon Twp, 199 Mich App 667 (1993).
Recently, the Michigan Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal, such that the Court of Appeals’ decisions in Higgins Lake Property Owners Ass’n and Jacobs are now final and binding precedent.
This decision is a victory not only for riparian property owners around the state, but also members of the public who have been unable to use many of the cluttered-up public road ends for proper purposes due to the effective seizure of these public properties by some backlot property owners.

Lot 139 is zoned “Residential District 1” (R-1) according to the Gerrish Township Zoning Ordinance.
However, the circuit courtÂ’s ruling, which allowed the families of two of defendantÂ’s shareholders at any time to use a seventy-five-foot dock on which up to five boats could be moored, is inconsistent with the townshipÂ’s ordinance provisions concerning single-family dwellings.
I concur in the result of the opinion per curiam because defendantÂ’s use of the property is not consistent with the buildings and uses permitted in R-1 districts under the Gerrish Township zoning ordinance.
