COST CO WHOLESALE, INC., CASE 1676 Page 4 15. We suggest that the results will indicate that the Costco proposal is not the "best" development for the property, but that it is a good proposal in that it will attract other users compatible and useful to the redevelopment process in this area of the City. Other large scale discount merchandisers may be attracted, which can and will be complementary to what we beEeve can be a fine office district to the northwest between Cleveland Avenue and Langton Lake, served by an extension of Mount Ridge Road and a connection of lona Lane to Cleveland Avenue. These are routes we have been fighting to maintain and enhance since the days of the Hyman Motorfreight Expansion. 16. This development includes a proposed 16 foot 6 inch expansion of the easement for County Road C (up to 49-1/2 feet from the center line as required by the County). A 20 foot setback from that new property line is proposed (15 feet is required). The drawings do not indicate a sidewalk which' is required. The Engineering Staff informs us that a finalized 1rainage plan has not been evolved, though meetings are being conducted between the engineering consultant (Schoel and Madsen) and toe City Engineering Staff. Your City Engineering Staff will comment on the progress of the drainage solutions at the Planning Commission hearing. 17. The landscape plan is generally acceptable, except we feel that there should be addi tional planting along the east side of the property to screen the truck loading area. 18. In summal'Y, this proposal is for an amendment to the comprehensive plan from industrial to busine:Js. Though, a greater area, may be ultimately designated for business purposes, weo, suggest for the purpose of this development that only this site be so designated. The rezoning from 1-1 to 8-4 is proposed and would be consistent with the amendment to the comprehensive plan changed to the business land use category. A special use permit is requested for approval of ~he site plan. Such approval can be /TIade conditional uVm final engineering details, final landscape plans, construction of Prior ,11....'''!n'JC and Mount Ridge Road at the applicant's expense, and contribution to the overall drainage solution, as may be designated- by mutually ,acceptable engineering analyses.
