The South University project formerly known as University Village is being considered by the Ann Arbor planning commission this Tuesday.  The site, now called 601 Forest has been scaled down from 421 units with 1,308 beds to 342 units with 1,142 beds.  The site plan has also been modified from a "U" shape to an "L" shape moving the bulk of total density to South University and Forest Streets.  According to City Planner, Matt Kowalski, staff recommendation will be for approval on Tuesday. The Developers, Ketalaar and Hughes, submitted site plan changes to the city back in April.  The new footprint will house a 25 story building (previous plans were for a max of 22 stories - so while the project was downsized it increased in vertical).  Construction is planned to commence in October or November of this year and finish in 2011.  If approved by the Planning Commission as predicted, the project will be up for final consideration by the Ann Arbor City Council in July. In resubmitting, the Developer's have followed recommendations by the planning committee, it remains to be seen what will happen at the Tuesday meeting, but their prognosis for approval looks good.
