Title
Resolution to Approve Zingerman's Deli Expansion Site Plan and Development Agreement, 422 Detroit Street (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 7 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow the demolition of the building at 322 East Kingsley and the construction of an addition to the deli building at 422 Detroit Street totaling 10,430 square feet.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 18, 2010, recommended approval of this request, subject to resolution of loading zone options on East Kingsley prior to City Council action. Since the City Planning Commission review, the petitioner has revised the site plan to eliminate the curb cut on East Kingsley to provide a street loading zone. (See attached Revised Site Plans.)
Petition Summary:
· The Site Plan proposes to demolish the house at 322 East Kingsley Street and construct a two-story, 10,340-square foot addition to the 5,107-square foot Deli building. The orange two-story Annex building at 420 Detroit Street will be incorporated into the addition.
· The existing curb cuts on Detroit Street and East Kingsley will be closed, and the former driveway and courtyard area between the Deli and Next Door will be re-graded to meet ADA requirements. The rear courtyard will be shifted slightly and the tent will be rotated 90 degrees. The Next Door building will remain unchanged.
· Modification of the conflicting land use buffer on the east property line is requested to reduce the width of the buffer and substitute a solid fence for the required landscaping.
· A development agreement has been prepared to address footing drain disconnects, existing encroachments into the public right-of-way, and possible water main impact mitigation.
