COMMUNICATION FROM COMMISSIONERS  
Chair Wyche inquired about a communication regarding pedestrian  
issues and asked where such concerns should be directed. Staff  
indicated that the matter would be reviewed and appropriate follow-up  
would occur.  
Chair Wyche also asked about a communication concerning data  
centers and how they are addressed in the City's zoning ordinance. Staff  
explained that the ordinance currently includes "data processing centers"  
and noted that it may be appropriate to revisit and revise the definition if  
necessary. Staff further commented that the City is not currently  
considered a likely location for data centers due to limited land  
availability and high land costs.

PETITIONER PRESENTATION:  
Ronn Nadis of Couzens presented the proposed request.  
STAFF PRESENTATION:  
Senior Planner, Mariana Melin-Corcoran presented the staff report.  
PUBLIC HEARING:  
Matt Wolf, 1841 Cambridge Road, expressed concern regarding impacts  
to existing trees and the project's intrusion into the neighborhood. Mr.  
Wolf stated that he had not received a response from the petitioner and  
felt the revisions since the previous Planning Commission review were  
minimal.  
Farina Meer, stated that she is a longtime resident and first-time  
commenter. Ms. Meer expressed concern that the development would  
alter the character of Cambridge Road due to impacts on trees and the  
size of the proposed building. She stated that the density appeared out of  
context with surrounding homes and duplexes, raised concerns about  
potential impacts on property values and parking, and invited  
Commissioners to walk through the neighborhood.  
Dorothy, 1841 Cambridge Road, expressed concerns regarding land  
stability and potential impacts of construction on neighboring properties.  
She requested a geotechnical report, preconstruction condition survey of  
nearby homes, construction vibration monitoring plan, sightline and  
shadow study, excavation support plan, retaining wall plans, and  
construction sequencing plans. Ms. Dorothy also asked what measures  
would be in place to minimize impacts on neighboring properties and how  
property owners would seek compensation for any damages.  
Aniket Dhadphale, 1817 Cambridge Road, questioned the comparability  
of examples presented by the petitioner, specifically referencing the  
Telluride House. Mr. Dhadphale expressed concerns regarding  
increased traffic and activity associated with student housing, including  
rideshare services, deliveries, and other vehicle trips.  
Aradhna Krishna, 1835 Cambridge Road, provided a handout and  
expressed concerns regarding parking, impervious surface area, and  
impacts to existing trees.  
Jack Jagadish, 1835 Cambridge Road, stated that fraternity and sorority  
building sizes presented by the petitioner were inaccurate and that the  
proposed building would be significantly larger than neighboring sorority  
and fraternity facilities. Mr. Jagadish expressed concerns regarding  
setbacks, parking, and tree preservation. He noted that he had discussed  
these concerns with the developer and had offered to explore an  
alternative site layout that would preserve the southeastern grove of trees.  
He questioned why a different building configuration had not been  
pursued.  
David Patterson, 1942 Cambridge Road, referenced a 2014 student  
housing project at 1705 Hill Street and contrasted its impacts with those  
of the current proposal. Mr. Patterson expressed concern regarding the  
removal of mature trees and emphasized the environmental benefits of  
tree preservation, including carbon sequestration. He encouraged  
minimizing environmental impacts associated with the project.  
Ben Blam, neighboring resident off Geddes Avenue, stated that he  
appreciated the Commission's previous discussion of the project and its  
consideration of Comprehensive Plan goals. Mr. Blam expressed  
disappointment with the revised submission and applicant presentation,  
stating that the proposal did not substantially address concerns raised  
during the previous review. He questioned whether the proposed  
development was appropriate for the site.  
Seeing no additional speakers Chair Wyche closed the Public Hearing.  
Moved by Commissioner Mills, seconded by Councilmember Disch,  
that the following motion be approved:  
The Ann Arbor City Planning Commission, after hearing all  
interested persons and reviewing all relevant information, including  
the accompanying site plan, finds the petition substantially meets  
the standards in Chapter 55 (Unified Development Code) Section  
5.29.5.D (Special Exceptions) and Section 5.16.1.E (Fraternity or  
Sorority House, and Student Cooperative Housing), and therefore  
approves the Kappa Delta Sorority House at 805 Oxford Rd for 75  
occupants. This approval is based on the following findings:  
1. The proposed use will be consistent with the R2B (Two-Family  
Dwelling and Student Housing) District, which provides for  
residential use, including special exceptions for fraternity or sorority  
houses and student cooperative housing.  
2. The proposed use will not adversely impact traffic, pedestrians,  
bicyclists, circulation, or road intersections based on the location.  
Oxford Road provides access to the site, and the proposed use is  
consistent with the existing and other surrounding uses’ traffic  
impact.  
3. The subject site meets the use specific standards for on-site  
resident manager, minimum lot area and minimum lot area per  
occupant, principal building floor area, and screening.  
4. The maximum number of occupants shall be established as 75.  
5. A site plan documenting the existing and proposed conditions of  
the site has been submitted as part of this application. And that the  
Ann Arbor Planning Commission approves The Kappa Delta  
Sorority (805 Oxford Road) Site Plan v7 dated 4-29-26, alternative  
natural features mitigation for 46 inches of tree mitigation, and the  
Development Agreement.

Christa Azar of Integrated Designs, Heath Hartt of Midwest Consulting,  
and Peter Fayroian of Greenhills School presented the proposed request.  
STAFF PRESENTATION:  
Principal Planner, Alexis DiLeo presented the staff report.  
PUBLIC HEARING:  
Rita Ross, 782 Greenhills Drive, representing the Earhart Homes  
Association and adjacent homeowners, stated that school operations  
have a daily impact on the neighborhood. Ms. Ross expressed concerns  
that the proposal does not adequately address traffic volumes, traffic  
safety, and parking impacts on nearby residents. She also raised  
concerns regarding monitoring future school growth beyond established  
limits. Ms. Ross noted that a letter outlining these concerns was included  
in the meeting packet. She referenced the pedestrian Level of Service  
rating and suggested consideration of a shuttle service to help mitigate  
impacts.  
Carol Galler, 817 Greenhills Drive, expressed concerns regarding traffic  
congestion, aggressive driving behavior, and residents being unable to  
enter or leave the neighborhood during peak periods. Ms. Galler stated  
that congestion makes it difficult to walk in the neighborhood and  
complete routine errands. She also expressed concern about potential  
impacts to road conditions during construction.  
Joseph Cathy, 716 Greenhills Drive, expressed concerns regarding traffic  
congestion, aggressive driving, and being blocked by vehicles. Mr.  
Cathy stated that additional signage may help address some of these  
issues and requested mitigation measures to improve safety and  
maintain access to neighborhood homes.  
[For a complete record of the comments, please see available video

Weatherbee that:  
The Ann Arbor Planning Commission hereby approves a  
modification to the Greenhills School Special Exception Use for a  
private school in the R1B (Single-Family Dwelling) district to  
increase the maximum enrollment to 750 students based on the  
following findings:  
1. The location, size and character of the proposed use is  
compatible with the R1B (Single-Family Dwelling) district and  
neighborhood in which the site is situated.  
2. The location and size of the proposed use, and its location and  
layout, will not unduly conflict with public utility systems or the  
transportation network that serves the site and neighborhood.  
3. All applicable standards for the proposed use have been met.  
And the Ann Arbor Planning Commission hereby approves the  
Greenhills School Site Plan dated March 20, 2026 to construct two  
additions to the existing building and pave a fire access road, and  
Landscape Modification to allow landscape elements which are part  
of a previously approved site plan to be maintained and continued

STAFF PRESENTATION:  
Senior Planner, Joshua Shake presented the staff report.  
PUBLIC HEARING:  
Rich Fine, 618 Dhu Varren Court, representing the Citizens’ Climate  
Lobby, stated that he is interested in the electrification of rental housing  
units and has been tracking the utility systems proposed in new  
developments reviewed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Fine noted  
that most recent multifamily developments reviewed by the Commission  
have proposed all-electric residential units and referenced a prior project  
that encountered utility capacity constraints. He asked whether the  
petitioner had evaluated an all-electric design for the project and  
requested information regarding the results of that analysis.  
Ken Garber, 28 Haverhill Court, stated that he had provided a letter to the  
Commission regarding carbon dioxide emissions associated with  
different HVAC technologies. Mr. Garber discussed the project's  
associated brownfield plan and noted that it includes tax increment  
financing reimbursements for certain non environmental costs. He  
questioned whether affordable housing would be included as part of the  
project, consistent with affordability goals often associated with such  
financing arrangements. Mr. Garber recommended postponement of the  
proposal until the details of any public subsidy are better understood.

Seeing no additional speakers Chair Wyche closed the Public Hearing.  
Moved by Councilmember Disch, seconded by Commissioner  
Hammerschmidt that:  
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.”  
Clarification is required. Only trash will be serviced in the 20 cubic  
yard compactor. As confirmed in the Solid Waste Calculations, there  
will be two 8 cubic yard containers on site for recyclables, serviced  
two days per week. 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, such as  
interior trash rooms in the separate apartment buildings. The  
following information shall be presented on the Solid Waste Plan,  
Sheet 71 (3-Story Apartments): 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 Solid  
Waste will be stored prior to collection, such as interior trash rooms  
in the separate apartment buildings.  
For Planning:  
Add Site Plan number and all addresses to cover sheet at top center  
title area. Recalculate and comply with required EV parking: The  
community center is not a separate use and should have 90% EV-C,  
10% EV-I. North Apartments should be parked at 90% EV-C, 10%  
EV-I. Each unit type must meet required EV parking individually.  
Ensure compliance with EV design standards, including accessible  
parking, and demonstrate on plan. Confirm compliance with bicycle  
parking standards: Where garages are provided (South Apartments,  
Townhomes), each garage may count for one Class A space. Each  
unit type must meet the required bicycle parking separately. Ensure  
bike parking is distributed throughout site. Ensure and demonstrate  
compliance with bike parking design standards with diagrams in  
plan set.  
For Urban Forest Natural Resources:  
Revise snow dump area locations, as noted on plan sheet adjacent  
to Building 36. Include details of how trails in wooded open space  
area will be constructed: List all tools and machinery that will be  
used. Identify what material the trails will be constructed from. Show  
tree protection and critical root zone protection plans for trees  
adjacent to trails. Acknowledge that trees which succumb to trail  
construction stress following three years after approval of final  
CofO will require mitigation.  
For Transportation:  
The applicant shall construct the missing sidewalk segment along  
the adjacent frontage (1610 Dhu Varren Rd), or an alternative  
mechanism acceptable to the City to ensure its construction. This  
outcome shall be determined through the Civil Engineering plan  
review as determined by the Public Services Area Administrator.  
For Natural Areas Preservation:  
Provide a wetland mitigation plan for review and approval.  
Bouteloua curtipendula is a special concern species in the state.  
Remove or replace with another alternative. Sporobolus heterolepis  
is a special concern species in the state. Remove or replace with  
another alternative. All conditions must be fully satisfied through the  
submission of compliant plans prior to the City’s acceptance and/or  
review of Civil Engineering Plans, and prior to the issuance of any  
associated permits for the development.
