Title
Resolution to Approve 1505 White Street Site Plan (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a single-family home.
Petition Summary:
• The Site Plan proposes demolishing the existing 1,838 square foot duplex and constructing a new 2,502 square foot single-family residence on this 0.10-acre site. The residence will contain six bedrooms in total.
• Site plan approval is required since the single-family dwelling is on a parcel that is not zoned solely for residential purposes. This lot is zoned O (Office District) and follows the R1C, Single-family residential, zoning requirements.
• The existing driveway and drive approach are located on land owned by the City of Ann Arbor. As part of this of site plan approval, the City’s Attorney’s Office will draft a License Agreement allowing the driveway to remain and for the petitioner to access their parking spaces.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 6, 2018, recommended approval of this request.
