Speakers wishing to display visual materials through the City’s audiovisual system must provide the materials to the City Clerk’s Office no later than 12:00 P.M. the day of the meeting. The materials cannot be changed before the meeting.
 
CONSENT AGENDA REMOVALS AND APPROVALS (See items A-E) All items listed under Consent Agenda are considered routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion.  There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Council Member so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered at the end of the normal Agenda. 
 
MATTERS FOR COUNCIL ACTION
 
Consideration for tentative approval of the request of Robertson Brothers Homes, for Lakeview, JSP 18-16, with Zoning Map Amendment 18.723, to rezone from R-4 (One-Family Residential) and B-3 (General Business) to RM-2 (High Density Multiple Family Residential) subject to a Planned Rezoning Overlay (PRO) Agreement, and corresponding PRO Concept Plan.  The property is located in Sections 10 and 11, on both the west and east side of Old Novi Road south of Thirteen Mile Road and totals approximately 3.15 acres. The City Council reviewed the request at the October 22, 2018 Council meeting and postponed action to allow the applicant time to review the Council’s comments.  The applicant has submitted a revised plan that eliminated one unit and is now proposing a development with 20 single-family detached homes for an overall density of 6.4 dwelling units per acre.
