Planning Case 11-008; Concept PUD Discussion; Arden Plaza, LLC; 3583 Lexington <br />Avenue – Not a Public Hearing (continued) <br /> <br />Chair Larson suggested the developer provide visuals of the site lines for the next <br />meeting with the Planning Commission and the City Council in order to clarify how the <br />facility will look. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa asked if there would be significant tree loss with this plan and if <br />the parking lot would still have the islands with trees. <br /> <br />Mr. Wellington stated he did not know the amount of tree loss but the landscaping plan <br />does have additional trees being planted than what will be required. The plan does still <br />include the parking islands and trees as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hames asked if the circular pavers in the parking lot were decorative or if <br />this would operate as a roundabout. <br /> <br />City Planner Beekman explained the circular pavers were a decorative feature. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A.
