City Planner Jeschke reviewed the proposed condominium site plan of the 43 lot site condominium development (Victoria Park Condominium) with the Commission. The property is located in the northwestern corner of the city. Previously the Planning Commission approved the Condominium Conceptual Site Plan Review for the Victoria Park Condominium at their June 10, 2021 meeting.

Commissioner Weinert disclosed a possible conflict of interest in participating in the PCM: 06/08/2023 Page 2 of 4  APPROVED 07/13/2023 discussion due to the location of his property as it shares 500ft with the proposed condominium site. As part of the development, Phoenix Contracting will correct a drainage issue on his property while they are balancing the land. It was the consensus of the commission to allow Weinert to participate in further discussion and voting on the proposed site plan. Dean Roberts, representative for applicant Walter J. Winkle, Jr. and Phoenix Contracting, noted his willingness to address any questions or concerns from the commission regarding the site plan review. Furthermore, he noted he had a pre- construction meeting earlier in the day with the parties involved and felt it went very well. Moore reiterated that the conceptual plan has not changed from the initial submission back in 2021. He noted that the water and sewer lines have been approved and the developer, the city and the county have agreed upon who will handle the inspection of the drain. This is the last step in the process before the proposal goes before City Council. Kaminski wanted assurance that all the proposed lot sizes meet the minimum size requirement. Further discussion pertaining to set-back driveways, the ease of entering the roadway onto Main St. from the entryway and the existence of the sewer pump. Lastly, although the applicant has not indicated the installation of street lights within the development, lighting will be present at each street intersection. Contact information for DTE’s community lighting will be provided to the contractor. Motion by Rix, seconded by Frank, to Recommend Approval to the City Council of the requested condominium site plan review dated July 25, 2021 of a proposed 43 lot site condominium development (Victoria Park Condominium) on 24.25 acres of property located adjacent to the west side of Main Street approximately 937 feet north of Madison Street (APN: 50-07-03-35-100-029).
