'- ~, .. Minutes of Special Counc i I Meeting November 27, 1974 Page two Crepeau noted that the Planner has proposed a plan which would provide 2 to 7 additional spaces (12 addit,ional, If angle parking, as proposed by Fred I und:.. Wingert suggested that the parking situation be resolved by the developer and the Village Planner; providing sufficient parking spaces, access drives, routing of traffic and elimination of any dangerous traffic areas, and to submit their recommen~atlons to the Counc i I for consideration. Feyere I sen said the quantity of parking spaces has been discussed, but aSked about the quality - are spaces large enough for a II vehicular parking? . Rich advised that the stalls are 9 1/2 and 10 feet - a I I meet i ng the requirement of 300 sq. ft. per stall. Crichton noted that,thls application should be considered by the Counc i I as a new development (not yet bui It) and the many concerns involved (traffic flows, number of pa rk i ng spaces, location of bulldi ngs from property lines, bui Iding heights, park dedication etc. ) apply. Feyereisen asked what a berm consists of - it does not app&ar that a berm Is provided to the south of the Rein property. Rich explained that the Rein site is lower than the adjacent property in that portion of their site; the 5' high berm I s therefore sti II lower than the adjacent property. He said that the original plan also showed the Rein property lower than the adjacent property to the south. Feyere i sen noted that the berm was to be part of the screening for properties to the south, and asked how this berm could act as a screen, If It is st ill approximately three feet below the neighboring land. Rich explained that a fence on top of the berm was proposed, to provide the screening requested. Wingert aSked If it is possible to construct a'higher berm I n this 10 ' wide area, to adequately screen the properties to the south. Rich sa i d that he was sure an earth elevation could b.'lchlovod of at I east 5'. Don Klse (Dreyfus) sa I d he walked the Dreyfus site this morning and has no objection to the bui Iding', close proximity to the property lines (east and south), if adequately screened; ~ugges- ting a 5. berm above elevation of the Dreyfus property (cou I d put in a reta i n i ng wa II ) on top of which trees could be planted. Wingert suggested that 12 to 14 foot high screening would be needed to provide adequate screen i ng. . Crichton asked why removal of the second story portion af the shopping center i s recommended. Wingert advised that it protrudes 4 to 6 feet above the bu II d j,;g; use and access are questionable; if a new p roposa I , it would not be considered for approval because of inadequate screening from the residential area. Wingert advised that architects on the Commission suggested using part of this area to house mechanical equipment, and reduce the height. Rich said if the height were reduced, space remaining would not be adequate to house mechanical equipment - refrigeration equip- ment is now on lower roof level, pllrtlally screened by This raised portion of the bui Idlng. -2-
