The developer shall allow the City to grade as necessary that portion of the property fronting on County Road E for the purpose of constructin a sidewalk along County Road E." to the Develo ment Agreement, Section 3, Terms and Conditions. Mayor Grant clarified with the steep grade in this location the City will need to construct several retaining walls to build a sidewalk in this area but if McDonald's allows the City to change the grade of the swale the amount of retaining wall could be reduced. City Planner Beekman stated a large portion of this swale is located in City right-of-way but if the City were to regrade this it would be necessary to spill onto McDonald's property in order to tie their grading into the new grade of the Swale. This amendment would allow the City to use the McDonald's property to regrade the swale and tie it into their grading without have to pay for the right to do this. She stated due to the potential for the City to be constructing a sidewalk in this area there would be no additional landscaping done by McDonald's in this area.

The bollards shall be painted to match the brick on the building." to the Development Agreement, Section 3, Terms and Conditions.
