Resolution to Approve Society of Les Voyageurs PUD Site Plan, 411 Long Shore Drive (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 9 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Society of Les Voyageurs PUD Site Plan.  Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of 220-square foot addition to the rear of the existing building and expand the existing driveway to provide additional off-street parking.   
 
Petition Summary:
 
·      The Site Plan proposes a 220-square foot addition to the Habe Mills Pine Lodge, the headquarters of the Society of Les Voyageurs and residence of some active members.  The existing gravel driveway will be expanded to accommodate three parked vehicles for normal use and up to eight parked vehicles for the monthly alumni dinners held at the Lodge.   
 
·      The Site Plan identifies conflicting land use buffer and right-of-way screening areas, but no additional plantings are needed to satisfy the landscape requirements established in the PUD Zoning District Supplemental Regulations.  
 
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of January 19, 2012, recommended approval of this request.
