Title

Body

Resolved, that the Rochester Hills City Council hereby approves the Preliminary Site Condominium Plan for Auburn Angara Oaks, based on plans received by the Planning Department on September 9, 2024, with the following findings and subject to the following conditions.

 

Findings

 

1. The site plan and supporting documents demonstrate that all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as well as other City Ordinances, standards, and requirements, can be met subject to the conditions noted below.

 

2. The proposed project will be accessed from Auburn Road, thereby promoting safety and convenience of vehicular traffic both within the site and on the adjoining street.

 

3. Adequate utilities are available to the site.

 

4. The preliminary plan represents a reasonable street, building and lot layout and orientation.

 

5. The proposed improvements should have a satisfactory and harmonious relationship with the development onsite as well as existing development in the adjacent vicinity given the split zoning of the property that allows for single family development or development consistent with the FB Flex Business District to the east.

 

6. The proposed development will not have an unreasonably detrimental or injurious effect upon the natural characteristics and features of the site or those of the surrounding area. The proposed encroachments into Wetland A are situated in portions of the wetland with lower ecological quality and the applicant has proposed a retaining wall to limit impacts; and the proposed encroachments into Wetland B are relatively minor and the applicant has also proposed a retaining wall to limit impacts. Finally, the natural features setback will be defined as part of the development with split rail fencing and large boulders to protect the area for the future.

 

Conditions

 

1. Address all applicable comments from other City departments and outside agency review letters, prior to final site condominium approval.

 

2. Provide a landscape bond in the amount of $170,410, plus the cost of inspection fees as adjusted by staff as necessary, prior to the preconstruction meeting with Engineering.
