. . WOODBRIDG~ PROPERTIES, CASE 41634 Page !j 12. Action on the zoning proposal should be subject to final action being delayed on any parc~ls not owned by the applicant or the city untll such time as ~uch acquisitlon is accomplished. 13. The entire project is being added to the Clty'S tax increment program and Hr. Craig Waldron has conducted numerous meetlngs with the applIcants toward this objective. Wlth respect to the ~varall design, the Planning Commlsslor and Council will note that the PUD and the landscape plan include a six foot wide trail to be developed on the property westerly of Cleveland Avenue, InclUdIng circumferential route around t~e property ~drrYlng it contiguous to the freeway right-of-way on the west side of the land. You will note that that portIon of the greenway west of Cleveland Avenue toward the north end of the property (south of County Road D) is proposed to be a 40 foot wide hermed and landscaped strlp as Indlcated on the large-scale portion of the landscape plan labeled "Landscape Buffer Plan". This 40 foot strip is deSIgned to accomplish a transition to the residentlal propertIes on the east siee of Clev&land Avenue. We suggest that the Planning Commission and Council might wish to consl~~r requirlng that thIs 40 foot strip extend south on the west side of Cleveland Avenue to a point one lot south of Brenner Avenue; thereby OfferIng additional protectlon to ~he residences O~ the east side of Cleveland, OppOSl te th is portion of the site. The o;crall design has been ~yn~ ~.th the ir.~cntlon of minlmizlng the iMpact on the contlguous resldential areas to the east (across Cleveland Avenue) and to provide a hlghly desirable aesthetic impact on Cleveland Avenue itself and ultiMate develop~ent to the east; south of Brenner. All the frontage along Cleveland Avenue WIll be offIce frontage WIth the s~rVlce areas of the offlce service structures being primarily in the courtyard; area ted by pans of structures in the site plan. 14. The Planning Commission may WIsh to questlon the appl1cant regarding more details ac to the use of bUlldlng materidls. We have discussed these details WIth the appllcant but the draWIngs submitted do not delineate the detailed nature of such materials. 15 In summary, we suggest ~hat the overall redevelopment constitutes an opportunity lor residents now in the area to relocate to more appropriate sln~le~famlly residentlal reighborroods. The overall development 3ccomplished over a per-iod of four to f1 ve years offers an economically viable and aporopriate land use for tre area and wlll have conslderable positive effect on the employment potentlal for the area and the city as a whole. The ultlmate impact on properties to the e~st and south, we feel wlll be beneficial where there are now some older truck lines and conslderable undeveloped property on the west sld~ of Langdon Lake.
