Title
Resolution to Approve Maple Shoppes Building 2 Planned Project Site Plan, 512 North Maple Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 6 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 7,750-square foot retail building in the Maple Shoppes shopping center.
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan proposes to construct a 7,750-square foot retail building at the NE corner of Maple and Dexter in the Maple Shoppes center, zoned C3 (Fringe Commercial). It is the same size and in the same location as previously approved on the Maple Shoppes Planned Project Site Plan, which is now expired. The proposed building will share the existing 90-space parking lot with the 17,500-square foot grocery store as originally designed.
* Planned project modifications have been requested to allow a decrease in the minimum front setback requirement of 10 feet in the C3 district to 8.5 feet along Maple and 7.5 feet along Dexter. The modifications will allow the proposed building to be built in the previously approved location and will eliminate the need for additional infrastructure and enhance pedestrian orientation.
* Staff addressed a concern raised by Planning Commission to ensure the proposed fa?ade and window design of the building will be constructed as proposed by including a condition in the proposed motion for approval.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of August 3, 2016 recommended approval of this request.
