<br /> I <br /> I vegetation on the USFWS property and the conservation easement which will assist in the <br /> fI screening of the buildings and the truck court yard between Phases III and IV. The Staff <br /> believes that the applicant should provide for additional landscaping (evergreen trees) in <br /> this area to make up for the lose of screening due to the revisions to the grading plan for <br /> the site. <br /> . 12. Proof of parking conflicts with pond on Phase 4 (plan Sheet CI.4). The tenant which <br /> the applicant is courting for Phase IV has parking requirements which are less than those <br /> I prescribed by the ordinance. In cases such as this the Zoning Ordinance (Section VI, F, <br /> I, f) allows for "proof-of-parking". The applicant is proposing 37 "proof-of-parking" <br /> spaces for Phase IV. However, 22 of these "proof-of-parking" spaces overlap the <br /> I ponding easement which is required for the storm water needs of Phase IV, <br /> 13. Modular retaining wall by others on Phase 4 should be by developer (plan Sheet <br /> C2.4). The plans provide for a modular retaining wall "by others".

The storm <br /> water pond on Phase IV has an outlet structure which is not on the applicants property, it <br /> is on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) property. Therefore, the applicant <br /> I will need the approval of the USFWS for their proposed outlet structure for the storm <br /> water pond on Phase IV. <br /> 15. Vaughan Objection (Exhibit F). The City received the attached objection from Dan <br /> '- Vaughan regarding access to his property. The City Attorney has reviewed the objection <br /> and has informed Staff that it is his opinion that the proposed access provides reasonable <br /> access to the Vaughan property. Pursuant to City Council direction, the Staff has <br /> I contacted Naegele to discuss access from their site to enhance the redevelopment of the <br /> Vaughan property so that when a redevelopment plan is brought forth by Mr. Vaughan <br /> I the enhanced access can be provided for. <br /> REVISED Recommendation <br /> I The Staff would recommend approval of the request of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Final <br /> Plan (including variances), final plat, and a street vacation to facilitate the construction of a three <br /> phase office/industrial project consisting of a 104,532 square foot building (Phase II), 115,575 <br /> I square foot building (Phase III), and a 102,360 square foot building (phase IV) on a 31.76 acre <br /> site zoned Gateway Business, subject to the following conditions: <br /> I 1. No issuance of occupancy permits for that part of the project (Phases II, III, and IV) <br /> greater than 200,000 square feet until such time that the relocated Round Lake Road is <br /> open for traffic and capable of accepting increased traffic. <br /> I 2.
