Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the 413 East Huron Street Site Plan and Development Agreement. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 14-story apartment building with a 122-space underground parking garage and 10 surface parking spaces.
Petition Summary:
· The site plan proposes a 14-story, 271,855-square foot apartment building containing 216 dwelling units (533 bedrooms) and a total of 132 off-street parking spaces. Retail space and accessory uses for the residences are proposed on the first floor. Two curb cuts, one each to East Huron Street and North Division Street, are proposed. Storm water management for the 100-year storm volume is provided, and mitigation for impact within the critical root zone of a landmark tree on an adjacent site is proposed - half provided on the subject site and half to be provided alternatively in the form of a contribution to the street tree planting fund.
· A development agreement has been prepared to address the alternative tree mitigation, a parks contribution, required footing drain disconnections, off-site sanitary sewer capacity improvements, street lighting, documentation of LEED Energy & Atmosphere points, and architectural design and materials.
· The petitioner has responded to questions about the citizen participation meeting raised by the Planning Commission by submitting a supplemental citizen participation report.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 5, 2013, failed to pass the motion to approve this petition by at least six votes and thus recommended denial of this request.
