Title
Resolution to Approve Fiat of Ann Arbor Site Plan, 2095 West Stadium Boulevard (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 7 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Fiat of Ann Arbor Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 3,408-square foot auto dealership.
Petition Summary:
· The Site Plan proposes a 3,408-square foot auto dealership for one specific make of vehicles, to be constructed in place of the existing 2,505-square foot building, which will be demolished. The southern curb cut and driveway, the second serving the existing site, will be closed and the right-of-way landscape screening extended to fill the gap.
· An underground storm water management system will be installed and the existing parking lot will be restored. A total of 46 parking spaces are proposed, most for new vehicle inventory storage.
· In 1988, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted three variances: to allow 4 parking spaces to be located in the front open space, double stacked vehicle storage parking spaces, and a 20-foot aisle between the stacked parking spaces. The granted variances run with the land and continue to be used for the proposed site plan.
· The petitioners notified all property owners and residents within 500 feet of the site by mail that a petition had been submitted. No one contacted either the petitioner or staff with any questions, comments or concerns.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of August 21, 2012, recommended approval of this request.
