Bring the kids!-----Commission votes 5-0 in favor of downtown Ann Arbor bath house

Commission votes 5-0 in favor of downtown Ann Arbor bath house | MLive.com:
ANN ARBOR, MI — Plans for a two-story community bath house in downtown Ann Arbor are headed to the City Council for approval.
The Ann Arbor Planning Commission voted 5-0 Tuesday night in favor of the 12,398-square-foot Sun Baths proposal for a vacant site at 319 N. Main St.
The building would contain a mix of common bath and sauna areas, as well as smaller private bath spaces.
There would be a larger pool area that is the "Main Waters" area for bathers to rest and relax in between other bath areas.
There also would be three private spas that fit one to eight people, along with restrooms, offices, a staff break room and storage.
...No onsite automobile parking is proposed, though plans indicate there would be seven bicycle parking spaces.
...Aside from being a beautiful building, he said, it follows stringent environmental standards.
He described it as a building of the future and noted there even would be an urban agriculture component with food grown on the property..."
