Title
Resolution to Approve the 300-312 E. Huron Redevelopment Brownfield Plan
Memorandum
The proposed resolution would approve 300-312 E. Huron Redevelopment Brownfield Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow the Brownfield Plan to satisfy a condition of the Washtenaw County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and to advance to the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners, to authorize Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to reimburse the developer and City of Ann Arbor for eligible activities, support of the Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (LSRRF), and administrative support to the Washtenaw County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
The attached Brownfield Plan dated July 11, 2024, incorporates recommendations from staff from the initial plan review. The proposed Brownfield Plan identifies:
* The site is eligible for brownfield assistance through its designation as a "facility" as defined by the State of Michigan, particularly for the presence of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) levels greater than State-established criteria. The site was previously utilized as a gas station, car stereo installation center, garage, and dry cleaner over its history.
* The Brownfield Plan would reimburse the developer for environmental-related activities totaling $749,529 including: Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) Activities; Due Care Activities (installation of a vapor mitigation system, transportation and disposal of dewatering fluids); Soil Management (testing, transportation and disposal of impacted soil); Demolition, Brownfield Plan Preparation and Implementation; and 15% in Contingency Costs.
310 E Huron LLC, is seeking to redevelop 300-312 E Huron to construct a six-story, 139 room AC Hotel. On November 14, 2023, the Planning Commission approved the related Site Plan.
