Council Motion 11/19/2013
November 19, 2013; Approved (4-3) subject to Site Plan Review Summary
No. 4, dated November 12, 2013 and with the following stipulations: noting residential lofts will be single family
residences and subject to the applicant’s presentation to Council this evening; noting construction will not begin until a minimum of 55% sales threshold of the Garden District Brownstones—each
lot sale must be confirmed by a certification from the Title Company of record, including certification as to the associated homebuilding contract. To qualify, each sold Brownstone lot
must have a poured concrete slab and a water connection. As the Brownstones are being built in “pods” of typically 3 Brownstones each, any “Spec” Brownstones (including a model home)
would be able to be counted toward the sales requirement. A Spec Brownstone is defined as a Brownstone under construction but not sold to the end buyer. If lots are combined for a larger
customer Brownstone, each original lot will count toward the sales requirement so that the 55% threshold is always measured against the 33 lots; The Residences pre-sale threshold—each
pre-sale must be certified by the Title Company of record as firm and binding contracts and should be bona fide arm’s length and to third parties with non-refundable deposits. If condominium
homes are combined for a larger residence, each original condominium home will count toward the sales requirement so that the 50% threshold is always measured against the original 38
condominium homes; approving variance request that may exist for building height exceeding in one
corner of the building the 52’ limitation; approving variance to Section 45.4(b) regarding
expiration of SUP from six months to twenty-four (24) months; and acknowledging applicant’s west building elevations and presentations regarding the garage door descriptions, building
materials and colors with the brick materials on the first level and masonry stucco on levels above on the western elevation.
