Blakely said the youth council finalized a free Social Reset event focused on teen mental health scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 18, from 12 to 2 p.m. at the Rochester Hills Public Library multipurpose room. The event will include three panelists from the Oakland County Health Division and Kind Mind Counseling, therapy dogs from Fur Angels, raffles for prizes including Amazon gift cards and stuffed toys, and free snacks and drinks.

She also said the youth council plans to partner with the Clinton River Watershed Council for a river cleanup tentatively set for April 19 in observance of Earth Day. Planning and outreach for the council\u0000annual cultural fair will begin at the next standard meeting. Legislative Day is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2025, during the school midwinter break, and the youth council intends to visit the Hall of Justice Museum and meet with State Representative Tisdell and Senator Weber. The youth council's next meeting is Feb. 5 at 6 p.m.

Grant for green‑space invasive species management: The council accepted terms of a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) grant that provides $300,000 over three years for long‑term invasive species management in the city's green spaces. The city will provide matching funds already budgeted in the amount of $375,000 across the same three‑year period. The resolution designates the mayor as the city's authorized signatory for the agreement (NFWF grant ID 0501.24.082905).

Fleet purchase: The council authorized purchase of a compact wheel loader with an eight‑foot snow pusher attachment from Tri County Equipment of Sandusky, Ohio, in the amount of $115,510.26. Staff said the loader will be operated by the parks department to move equipment and assist snow operations.

Street tree planting contract: The council approved a blanket purchase order and contract not to exceed $210,000 with Michigan Lawn Maintenance Inc., d/b/a Sherman Nursery Farm of St. Clair, Michigan, for the 2025 street tree planting program. The project is funded through the city's tree fund with the procurement manager authorized to sign the agreement.

All three motions passed unanimously.","At its Jan. 13 meeting the council accepted a $300,000 National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant for invasive species management, authorized purchase of a compact loader with snow pusher for $115,510.26, and approved a blanket purchase order up to $210,000 for street tree planting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6389564,"Rochester Hills council unanimously approves preliminary plan for 16‑home Cambridge Knoll condominium",725,713000,1438000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113243-c348191c6bce67b99306f09190997286&start=713&end=1438","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113243-c348191c6bce67b99306f09190997286/thumbnail_713000.jpg","/articles/6389564/Rochester-Hills-City/Oakland-County/Michigan/Rochester-Hills-council-unanimously-approves-preliminary-plan-for-16home-Cambridge-Knoll-condominium","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6389564-bfd8086b824fcf9f3445b48555452712/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199897&Signature=PF1BE~oqbGAwEsKNa7QCEW-m3-DylLTZTCmbyr13XKfP5Ddgh5XVMiU8KKPGPaPmxFnQo2dN~S4ZXnNIP43dTp8SjJrj7mvBudB7WpmPhgUsRyx7l8SHmwkMqGFtFWjPc-st-RgowG~Qdo6PMILD5yyGqoPk2lXYL-bJRyzzKvXi5IH87T-4rlHV45xXOUupLLowwqXplxdzG6rRI~Mmyw-IiPYNKe8NET3dYK705RCCgsUfcvDiAOU2PqlOX7Y-bX2MWB8e4aIvp3bIWkBVAGALUYJgXGPv3GyfBz4TzaOLGSuLNfBCCfVJbnIVqSZCQDFsm8VtL65mHBT3AnQ5Dg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rochester Hills City Council on Monday approved preliminary condominium plans for Cambridge Knoll, a proposed development of 16 detached single‑family residences at 165 and 185 East Avon Road.

The approval covers the preliminary one-family residential detached condominium plan as submitted to the planning department on Nov. 4, 2024, and carries the Planning Commission\u0000recommended eight findings and two conditions. The vote was unanimous.

City planning staff told the council the project proposes 16 detached homes on roughly 4.7 acres in an area zoned R3 with an MR (mixed residential) overlay. The units are described in the plan as approximately 1,900 to 2,000 square feet, targeted at single‑story designs and a price point described in the packet as in the mid‑$500,000 range. The developer also proposes a pathway system with seven small exercise stations, a gazebo adjacent to the stormwater detention pond and common open space maintained by the condominium association.

Staff said a tree removal permit was approved by the Planning Commission at its December meeting and the commission recommended preliminary plan approval despite the MR overlay\u0000district normally requiring a 10‑acre minimum. Council members were told the commission granted a modification to the MR rules for this site and a proposed greenbelt modification does not reduce overall tree counts below ordinance requirements.

Council members asked about potential floor‑plan changes and utility arrangements. Staff and the applicant said the floor plans are largely set, with only minor interior changes possible prior to construction, and that utilities are in place. The city noted the legal form of ownership will be a detached condominium, meaning the building envelope is owned by the unit owner while exterior yards and other land remain common condominium property; maintenance of common areas will be governed by condominium documents.

If final approval proceeds, the developer will return to the city with refined engineering plans, any required permits and a master deed for final condominium approval.

The council motion to approve the preliminary plan was moved by Council Member Mongeoli and seconded by Council Member Neubauer; the motion passed unanimously.","The City Council approved preliminary detached condominium plans for Cambridge Knoll, a 16‑unit development on about 4.7 acres along East Avon Road, with the Planning Commission\u0000conditions and two required findings to be met before final approval.","actionData","errors"]
