Title
Resolution to Approve 132 Hill Street Site Plan (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of an 11,653 sq. foot, 5-unit multiple-family dwelling unit.
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan proposes demolishing the existing 4,200-square foot home and constructing a new 11,653-square foot five-unit apartment building. The site is zoned R4C, Multiple Family Residential.
The building may be constructed in two phases, as the City anticipates upgrading the existing water main in Hill Street in 2019. The petitioner proposes constructing the first phase (two units) while the existing water main is in place, and completing the second phase once the water main upgrades are completed. If the City does not complete the water main project, the developer will be responsible for upsizing the water main prior to pulling any permits to construct the second phase. The site plan proposes closing the western curb cut and moving the driveway to the east sharing the driveway with the neighbor. This shared drive leads to eight parking spaces located behind the new building.
* The petitioner addressed issues raised by Planning Commission by using water tolerant vegetation for the proposed rain gardens and relocated the air conditioning units from the southeast corner of the building to provide adequate egress from the window well.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 2, 2018, recommended approval of this request. The Plan is conditioned upon issuance of a Variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals, scheduled for consideration on October 24th.
