City Council talks
rezoning projects

Council examines
affodability, scale
of proposals

On Monday evening, the Ann
Arbor City Council discussed
several
rezoning
requests,
voting to deny rezoning for the
Brightdawn Village development
and to approve rezoning for the
Broadway Park development.
Gil-Ad Schwartz, one of the
developers behind the Brightdawn
Village proposal, explained the
land on Burton Road is private
property.
Thus,
according
to
Schwartz, he is allowed to build a
120-unit apartment building.
Rezoning a land parcel would
assign different permissible uses
and restrictions on the property.
The
proposed
conditional
rezoning
would
allow
the
Schwartz family to build 160
units, under the stipulation that
the additional 40 be affordable

housing
units.
Twenty
units
would be restricted for people
earning 60 percent of the area
median income or below, and
20 units would be restricted for
people earning 80 percent or
below.
Tom Covert of Midwestern
Consulting, the civil engineering
firm behind the project, also
emphasized the development will
will be equipped for residents with
disabilities and senior residents.
In its report to the council,
the city’s Planning Commission
recommended a denial of the
rezoning request.
During the public comment
sections,
many
residents
at
the
meeting
also
spoke
in
opposition
to
the
rezoning.
Residents
expressed
concern
over the density of the units
and
additional
traffic
the
development could bring, which
they said would be dangerous for
children in the area.

Locals head
downtown for
annual festival

On Sunday afternoon, the
annual Taste of Ann Arbor
festival brought live music and
over 30 local restaurants serving
an array of entrees, drinks and
desserts to South Main Street.
Restaurants, like Gratzi, Palio
and Aventura, had tents set up
with a couple of signature plates
available for patrons to sample.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., unique
Indian,
Italian
and
Spanish
cuisines were readily made for
each hungry passerby.
The six-hour event provided an
opportunity for residents from all
over Michigan to taste a variety
of local restaurants for a much
lower price. Community member
Vince Pope said the wide range of
selections is part of what makes
the festival so enjoyable.
“It’s my first time here, and
I just tried octopus for the first
time,” Pope said. “That’s what
I like about it. You get to try
different things that you would
normally never try.”
Unlike Pope, Cassie McAllister
from Troy has attended the
festival before.
“I love that I can try a lot of
different places that I normally
would not go for a full dinner,
but I can get a little sampling, so
I can see if it’s a place I want to

go to in the future,” McAllister
said. “I also just love getting a ton
of different foods at once rather
than one thing.”
In
addition,
there
were
options for those with dietary
restrictions.
Karissa
Urban,
Eastern
Michigan
University
student, was surprised by the
variety of food.
“There are a lot more vegan
options than I expected, so that’s
cool,” Urban said.
Jessie Kinney, the head baker of
French bakery Le Bon Macaron,
said it was Le Bon’s second year
participating in the event. Kinney
said she returned to Taste of Ann
Arbor because it is a great way to
meet more potential customers
and work alongside other Ann
Arbor businesses.
“It’s just good to get exposure
for people that might not be
walking around Fourth Street
or don’t know as much about
macarons,”
Kinney
said.
“Hopefully more people know
about us now.”
Kinesiology sophomore Eliya
Gelb said the event introduced
her to local businesses she had
not known about previously.
“It’s really nice you get too see
all of these places here,” Gelb
said. “I didn’t know half of these
restaurants existed.”
With food priced between
$1 and $4, Engineering junior
Lindsay Llende said the price
allowed her to taste dishes from
multiple restaurants.
