A REVISED RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENCES AT GROVE PARK MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT (2009-02-23/R-11a)

 

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that it finds that Residences at Grove Park Special Use Permit, Multi-Family Development proposed by Ram Development Company, on property identified as Orange County Property Identifier Numbers: portions of 9788-39-4841 and 9788-39-4857; 9788-49-1706, 9788-49-4924; if developed according to the Site Plan, dated February 20, 2007, last revised July 31, 2008, the Steep Slopes Exhibit sheet C-SA.02 dated April 21, 2008, and the conditions listed below would:

 

1.      Be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;

 

2.      Comply with all required regulations and standards of the Land Use Management

Ordinance:

 

3.      Be located, designed, and operated so as to maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; and

 

4.      Conform with the general plans for the physical development of the Town as embodied in the Land Use Management Ordinance and in the Comprehensive Plan.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Town Council of Chapel Hill that it finds, in this particular case, that the following modifications satisfy public purposes to an equivalent or greater degree:

 

1.                  Modification of Section 3.6.3(f)(1) to permit 37,955 square feet of disturbed land area in the Upland zone of the Resource Conservation District.

 

1.                  Modification of Section 3.6.3(f)(1) to permit 24,430 square feet of impervious surface in the Upland zone of the Resource Conservation District.

 

2.                  Modification of Table 5.3-1 Slope Construction Restrictions to permit land disturbance on 53% of the slopes that are 25% or greater.

 

Each of  these findings are based on a determination that public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree because pedestrian, vehicular and emergency improvements are proposed and a sensitive environmental area is to be improved.

 

3.                  Modification to Table 3.8-1: Dimensional Matrix to exceed the Maximum Building Height (Secondary) by thirty (30) feet.

This finding is based on a determination that public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree because allowing two levels of parking under the buildings would create greater green area and less impervious surface as well as provide for preservation of several specimen trees.
