Running Fit Addition Gets Council OK

The first floor will be retained as retail space, but six residential units will be built on the upper three floors – one two-bedroom and five one-bedroom units.
The city planning commission recommended approval of the site plan at its Oct. 15, 2013 meeting.
The location in Ward 1 is zoned D1, which allows for the highest density development in the city. It’s also located in the Main Street Historic District.
The city’s historic district commission issued a certificate of appropriateness on Aug. 15, 2013.
The project is expected to cost about $900,000.
This brief was filed from the city council’s chambers on the second floor of city hall, located at 301 E. Huron. A more detailed report will follow.
