<br />Mayor Swedberg stated there was a meeting to discuss various administrative issues and <br />the consensus was to empower commissions to handle all the specifics concerning these <br />types of requests prior to being forwarded to Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers explained the Planning and Zoning Commission had <br />passed on and approved this basic plan with the stipulation that Council would decide on <br />the more definitive parts of the site plan as has been the procedure in the past. Planning <br />and Zoning was comfortable that Council would provide Mr. Drilling with its final <br />wishes for the proposed mall prior to approval. Mr. Drilling is in attendance to obtain <br />Council's requirements for exterior building components and additional requirements <br />recommended by Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted he had thought there was consensus at the meeting earlier in the <br />week to empower the commissions to do that sort of detail work. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated she would like to see the site plan go before the Parks and <br />Recreation Committee for trail approval. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated a desire to try to develop a process that allows for total review <br />by all commissions/committees prior to submission to Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Jeff Turner, 7151 Peterson Trail, stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />recommended that Mr. Drilling bring a more detailed plan to this meeting. At the <br />previous hearings for the west building where the front was redesigned, it was stated by <br />residents that they would like greenery added to screen the proposed mall from Peterson <br />Trail and that did not occur. Mr. Turner would like to see that the same mistake is not <br />made twice. Mr. Turner stated it would be nice to have greenery added to the west <br />building as a part of this site plan approval. Mr. Turner suggested trees or some type of <br />shrubbery be also added in the northwest corner of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Turner submitted a letter concerning the increased traffic on Peterson Trail due to the <br />proposed strip mall and requested dead-ending same. Mr. Turner stated that he has <br />requested several times that a traffic study be completed on Peterson Trail. <br /> <br />Mr. Luikart questioned the landscaping of the northwest comer of the property. Mr. <br />Drilling stated that it would be sodded and maintained accordingly. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated he did not want to take up Council time on endless details. <br /> <br />Mr. Turner questioned the process for obtaining resident input at the commission/ <br />committee level. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted that all commission/committee meetings are public and residents <br />are free to attend. <br /> <br />Mr. Turner asked Mr. Drilling what would be located in the northwest comer of the <br />property. Mr. Drilling stated that a sloping, grassy area to route drainage to the swale <br />that collects drainage and there is a six (6) foot fence at the back of the property.
