Powers Ridge Apartment Homes Phase I-SPR 99-19
On June 21, 2001, construction began on phase one of the Powers Ridge
Apartment Homes. The building under construction is located at the intersection
of Powers Boulevard and Lake Drive West. When the City Council approved the
site plan, the building elevation contained a single cupola on top of the roof of the
building. After construction began on the cupola, the applicant contacted staff
and requested permission to remove this element. It simply does not fit the design
of the building. Several staff members drove by the site. All agree that the
cupola detracts from the design of the building and should be removed.
The applicant is requesting permission to remove the cupola. This is not a matter of
cost but rather of design. Staff intends to process this change administratively unless
City Council directs staff otherwise. We intend to give the applicant permission on
February 14, 2002.
