Committee approves two 8-plex buildings; minutes retroactively approved
Summary
The committee approved design drawings for two new 8-plex residential buildings near the Homestead fairway and informally approved the Oct. 22 minutes; the 8-plexes will require planning commission and city council review for any density changes.
The Mendon Visual Arts Committee voted to approve design drawings for two proposed 8-plex buildings on the Homestead property and also indicated approval of the Oct. 22 meeting minutes.
Staff described the 8-plexes—previously identified in the master plan as cottages—as two-story, one-bedroom units arranged so that the lower floor contains rented units and the upper level mirrors that layout. Michael, the staff presenter, said the units have no direct vehicle access and will be served by golf carts or pedestrian paths, with parking located near the activity center.
Brandon said finishes for the 8-plexes will match other guest buildings on site and that the same materials palette is being used. Committee members noted the massing and material changes made since earlier rounds and expressed satisfaction that the project addressed previous staff comments.
A committee member moved to approve the drawings for the 8-plexes without conditions and another seconded; the transcript records a sequence of affirmations indicating approval, but individual vote tallies by name were not captured in the record.
Separately, the committee conducted a motion to approve the Oct. 22 minutes earlier in the meeting; the motion and second were made and the committee indicated assent by voice, though the transcript does not list a formal roll-call tally.
Next steps for the 8-plexes include the planning commission and then city council review for any required density or entitlement changes.
