Title
Resolution to Approve Banyan Court Site Condominium Site Plan and Development Agreement, 1654 South Maple Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 7 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of 8 single-family homes on a private street.
Petition Summary:
• The Site Plan proposes 8 single family homes as a site condominium on a 2.75-acre parcel in the R1C (Single-Family Dwelling) district. A new private street will access the lots. An oversized stormwater management system including both detention and retention is proposed due to the poor infiltration capability of the existing soils, and the volume released to the public storm sewer system will be less than the current conditions as required by the Washtenaw County Water Resources Commissioner’s Office.
• A contribution of $6,200.00 to Parks and Recreation Services is proposed instead of providing a playground within the development.
• A development agreement has been prepared to address the park contribution, sanitary sewer mitigation, and sequence of construction.
• The Planning Commission recommended approval of the development subject to completing some minor revisions to the plans requested by engineering and forestry staff, and receiving plan approval by the Washtenaw County Water Resources Commissioner’s office. The corrections were made and confirmed by staff, including changing a proposed tree species and clarifying the planting chart as requested by Forestry/Natural Resources and rounding the flow mitigation calculations as requested by Engineering. The WCWRC has also approved the plans.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of January 20, 2016, recommended approval of this request.
