RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, on April 20, 2015, the City of Rochester Common Council adopted Resolution
#185-15 which approved Restricted Development Final Plan #R2014-022CUP by Joe Weiss for
First Avenue Flat, subject to one condition of approval; and,
WHEREAS, condition of approval #1 found within Resolution #185-15 stated as follows:
1. The Council’s actions in approving this development occur in response to the
applicant’s or his/her representative’s oral and written representations as to
the appearance of the building design, exterior façade, and landscaping. As
such, the applicant must not deviate from the appearance of the building
design, exterior façade and landscaping as originally presented to the
Council without the Council’s prior approval; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to condition #1, the developer has requested Council approval of the
following changes to the development:
Proposed site design changes:
1. Relocation of electrical equipment from the 1st Avenue NW frontage to
the southeast corner of the site. This relocation resulted in the placement
of the equipment in a less-visible location at the back of the site, and will
allow for the consolidation of electrical equipment with future development
to the east using the same junction box (see RPU diagram in the
attachments);
2. Revision of the surface parking layout to accommodate relocated
electrical equipment, which reduces the overall total by one space to 85
parking spaces. According to the original staff report for the preliminary
restricted development, this residential use would require 94 parking
spaces under the R-4 zoning district. The site was approved for 86
parking spaces;
3. Removal of landscaping in the southeast corner of the site in the electrical
equipment location;
4. Changes to walkway and landscaping layout of yard area along the First
Avenue frontage, including: (a) the addition of block retaining wall along the
First Avenue frontage at the southwest corner of the site; and (b) the
relocation of tot lot to the south of the approved location; and,
5. Removal of landscaping from the southeast corner of the site to
accommodate relocated electrical equipment.
Proposed exterior building design changes:
1. Adjustments to building materials on all facades;
2. Addition of windows on south façade; and,
3. Adjustments to window pattern on north and east facades; and,
WHEREAS, the Council considered this request at its June 5, 2017, meeting; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Department made no recommendations for any additional
conditions of approval should the Council approve the requested changes to the development;
and
th
WHEREAS, at the June 5 council meeting, the Council concluded that the developer’s
request should be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Rochester
