Title
Resolution to Approve 133 Hill Street Site Plan, 0.20 Acre (CPC Recommendation: Denial - 3 Yeas, 2 Nays and 1 Abstention)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution requesting approval of the above site plan for the construction of an 8,150-square foot, three-unit residential building. The existing structure on the site will be demolished. Five parking spaces, one Class A bicycle space and ten Class C bicycle spaces are proposed, as well as a rain garden at the rear of the site to collect first-flush storm water.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of August 19, 2008, recommended denial of the site plan. As contained in the attached minutes, concerns expressed in support of the denial recommendation involve the number of tenants that would occupy the building and differing points of view as to developer and neighborhood communication about the proposal.
