Title
Resolution to Approve 930 Church Street Planned Project Site Plan, 0.20 Acre (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 1 Nay)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution requesting approval of the above site plan for the demolition of the existing 2,064-square foot house and construction of a new, 7,828-square foot house at 930 Church Street. A total of four units and 21 tenants are proposed as a result of the project. Six on-site parking spaces will be provided, with the option of accessing an additional two spaces from a new curb cut on Oakland Avenue.
Planned project modifications have been requested to allow the front setback along Church Street to be reduced from 28.3 to 25 feet (the average front setback along Church Street is 28.3 feet). The benefits justifying these modifications are increased usable open space (minimum 40 percent required and 61 percent proposed), installation of a green roof, a one hundred year storm detention system, and the provision of pedestrian orientation with bus and pedestrian routes fronting the site.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of January 22, 2009, recommended approval of the proposal, subject to providing a minimum use of open space of 60 percent, payment of street tree escrow of $81.60 prior to issuance of permits, and mitigation of sanitary sewer flow equivalent to the disconnection of one footing drain before issuance of the first certificate of occupancy. These three conditions are contained in the attached resolution.
