We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.305(H)(1). The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order addressing: (1) whether the phrase “any property owner” in the insurance policy is ambiguous; (2) whether a property owner must have a commercial interest in the project before the exclusion applies to that property owner, and what constitutes such a “commercial interest”; and (3) what weight, if any, should be given to the title of the exclusion. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers. I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court. May 17, 2017 a0510 Clerk
