WOODBRIDGE PROPERTIES, CASE 41634 12. Action on the zoning proposal should action being delayed on any parcels applicant or the city until such time a accomplished. Page 4 be subject to final not owned by the s such acquisition is 13. The entire project is being added to the city's tax increment program and Mr. Craig Waldron has conducted numerous meetings with the applicants toward this objective. With respect to the overall design, the Planning Commission 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 the property carrying 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 bermed and landscaped strip as indicated 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 residential properties on the east side of Cleveland Avenue. We suggest that the Planning Commission and Council might wish to consider requiring 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 protection to the residences on the east side of Cleveland, opposite this portion of the site. The overall design has been done with the intention of minimizing the impact on the contiguous residential areas to the east (across Cleveland Avenue) and to provide a highly desirable aesthetic impact on Cleveland Avenue itself and ultimate development to the east, south of Brenner. All the frontage along Cleveland Avenue will be office frontage with the service areas of the office service structures being primarily in the courtyard, created by pairs of structures in the site plan. 14. The Planning Commission may wish to question the applicant regarding more details as to the use of building materials. We have discussed these details with the applicant but the drawings submitted do not delineate the detailed nature of such materials. 15. In summary, we suggest that the overall redevelopment constitutes an opportunity for residents now in the area to relocate to more appropriate single-family residential neighborhoods. The overall development accomplished over a period of four to five years offers an economically viable and appropriate land use for the area and will have considerable positive effect on the employment potential for the area and the city as a whole. The ultimate impact on properties to the east and south, we feel will be beneficial where there are now some older truck lines and considerable undeveloped property on the west side of Langdon Lake.
