L. S. 1186; and WHEREAS, the City Council has examined the facts and issues relating to this Application, including the Planning Commission's recommenda- tion thereon, and is fully informed therewith: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the following is the determina- tion of the City Council with respect to Application No. 67012: A. The site and building plans submitted by Center Development Company for its apartment project are hereby approved, with the following stipulations, conditions and alterations: 1. That the north line of this property be effectively screened from the adjacent residential properties to its north by a combination of garage walls, earth berm, and plantings as follows: a. A rolling, sodded earth berm adjacent to the property dine, which, when viewed from the apartment property, is at least 4 feet in height above the finished grade of the apartment development's parking lot nearest the north property line, and, when viewed from the adjacent residen- tial properties to the north of the apartment development, is at least 18 inches above the projected level of the adjacent residential properties; b. the north side of the berm shall be swaled (contoured) to provide adequate drainage, and the swale shall meet the grade of the adjacent residential properties so that drainage shall not be directed onto the adjacent properties; c. plantings of mixed deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs shall be installed atop the berm, to be densely planted at least in those areas where the apartment develop- ment's parking areas are easily visible from the residential properties to the north; Resolution No. 67 -147 d. flat roofed garages constructed in approximately the positions designated on site plan submitted, with a minimum of a 15 foot setback for such garages from the north property line; e. the screening devices shall not be installed within 15 feet of the Xerxes Avenue right -of -way line; f. the vegetation contained within the strip of land adjacent to the north property line shall be main- tained in a verdant condition, and to aid in this main tenance, sufficient water connections shall be installed in proximity to the greenstrip to provide for its irrigation. 2. A revised site plan consistent with the requirements outlined above and in accord with the site plan already approved shall be submitted to the City Manager, including a landscaping plan and planting schedule stating location, species, and size of the trees and shrubs to be installed on the site. 3. The building plans submitted are subject to the approval of the Building Inspector with relation to the applicable building codes. 4. No building permits are to be issued until satisfactory utilities plans have been approved by the City Engineer. 5. That a performance agreement and performance bond (the amount to be determined by the City Manager) be submitted to the City to guarantee the site improvements set out in the plans submitted, or required by ordinance. B. A variance from the density requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance is hereby granted to permit the construction of 252 dwelling units within the apartment development, rather than the 246 units otherwise permiss- able, due to the unique topography of the property and its relationship to adjoining residential properties, which has necessitated the require- ment of screening, grading, and setback requirements beyond those ordinarily required for apartment developments, and which has thereby created a hardship to the apartment developer which satisfies the standards for the issuance of variances fro the Zoning Ordinance.
