Title
Resolution to Approve New Farmers Market Enclosure Site, 315 Detroit Street (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 4000 square foot building to serve the market and other events with large overhead doors and barrier free access from North Fourth Avenue.
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan proposes a new 50 foot by 80 foot urban barn to be used by vendors on market days and for other events on non-market days. The structure will be minimally heated during the winter and large overhead doors will be opened in the summer. The parcel is zoned PL Public Land and is owned by the City of Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation.
* The project adheres to City private development standards with two exceptions: the driveway exceeds the maximum width for one-way drives, and a useless curb cut will not be eliminated until future sidewalk improvements are undertaken.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 12, recommended approval of this request. They also approved a Landscape Modification for the project for right-of-way screening and interior landscape islands.
