Miami Twp. Trustees made that decision Tuesday night after a public hearing at which neighbors of the 32 acres reiterated their objections, which include the materials from which the Ryan Homes would constructed.
Residents of the Vienna Park subdivision built by Rivendell site owner Zengel Constuction also fear the negative affects the development would have on traffic, worsening road conditions and drainage, among other issues.
Specifically, the trustees’ vote denies a major modification to a 2007 plan by Zengel that proposed building 88 homes made of all brick and stone on the land, township records show.

Earlier this spring trustees and the zoning commission rejected a similar proposal, saying it did not meet township standards.
But last month a revised plan – which included a request for a lessening of building material guidelines to include 80 percent brick or stone — won the unanimous support of the zoning commission.

About 30 residents of the Vienna Park neighborhood showed up on the August night the township zoning board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the change, records show..
If final plans had been approved, Ryan Homes representative Mark Locke said the project – in order to obtain the proper permits – would need to follow Environmental Protection Agency requirements for drainage.
He also said the roads would be part of a pre-construction assessment and “any damage would be taken care of,” records show.
