ROYAL OAK — The Royal Oak Public Library is putting on its annual summer reading program with the theme of “Color Our World.”
The program began June 10 and will end on Aug. 11, and it is meant for people of all ages. Participants can register up until the last day, Aug. 11. Trevor Winn, the head of adult services at the Royal Oak Public Library, said that this program is an inclusive and excit-
ing way to get adults and children to read. “One of my main goals when creating a summer reading program for adults is to illustrate the wide range of activities, services and opportunities there are for them at their public library,” Winn said. “For as See LIBRARY on page 14A

ROYAL OAK — The conditional rezoning and site plan for a Sheetz located at 3200 W. 14 Mile Road was brought before the City Commission on June 9. The plan passed with a unanimous vote. Sheetz is an automobile filling station that includes a convenience store, restaurant with drive-thru and outdoor cafe. The developer of the property is Broder Sachse Real Estate. The entire property is currently zoned as general industrial and was most recently occupied by a metal fabrication facility. The area would need to be rezoned to general business to allow for the gas station and a car wash to be built there. According to the City Commission meeting agenda, the commission was not required to hold a public hearing on the rezoning application, and it chose not to. However, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the matter at a Feb. 13 meeting. During public comment at the beginning of the June 9 City Commission meeting, members of the community voiced their opinions on the plan.
