The Ann Arbor City Planning Commission approves the Village of
Ann Arbor site plan v3 dated 03/27/2026, SP5-0026 (1710 Dhu Varren
Road, 1680 Dhu Varren Road, and 2520, 2540, 2600, 2670, 2672,
2678, 2682 Pontiac Trail), subject to execution and compliance with
the development agreement and the following conditions, which
must be satisfied through the submission of revised plans within six
months of approval by the Planning Commission:
For Engineering:
Sheet 49 - Utility Plan – Area 1: The looping water main length in
Area 1 is longer than allowable per the Public Services Standard
Specifications for Construction. To meet the maximum length
requirement, connect the water main in North Village Way to the
water main fronting Building 1 in Belcaro Court, or upsize the water
main to 12” diameter pipe. Sheets 50-53 – Utility Plan Sheets: The
fire service tap and the supporting fire hydrant tap shall be
separated by a main line valve. This requirement is not met for
Building 33. Please note that proposing a valve on the combined
lead near the water main does not meet this requirement. A
supporting fire hydrant shall be located within 100’ of a Fire
Department Connection. This requirement is not met for Buildings 9,
12, 14, 23, 24 and 33. Comments provided in blue on the PDF named
SP25-0026-Village of Ann Arbor – SP25-0026 Planset
2026-03-27_v3.pdf.
For Solid Waste:
The following information shall be presented on the Solid Waste
Plan, Sheets 69 and 72 (Townhomes): For the Townhomes alternate
plan on Sheet 72, a note must be added to the Solid Waste Notes,
clearly stating that all Concierge/Valet collection costs will be
incurred by the property owner and/or manager. This is not a
service provided by the City. Additionally, if such a service is
proposed to be provided it must be noted on the plans where
resident Solid Waste will be stored prior to collection. For the
Townhomes alternate plan on Sheet 72, the Solid Waste
Calculations indicate that there will be 22.3 cubic yards of
uncompacted recyclables generated per week. If four 6 cubic yard
dumpsters will be on site, then only one pickup per week will be
needed. The one pickup per week will allow up to 24 cubic yards of
uncompacted recyclables to be collected. Two pickups per week
are not needed. With four 6 cubic yard dumpsters on site, the City
will only collect recycling one day per week. The following
information shall be presented on the Solid Waste Plan, Sheet 70
(Apartments): Solid Waste Note #2 currently states that “both trash
and recycling will be serviced by bins and a compactor.”
