Lincoln Companies, Case No. 1824 Page 3 10. You will note in looking at the development proposal that there is an existing main trunk sewer extending east -west through the southerly portion of the site. The applicants propose to reroute the sewer line southerly around the proposed shopping center structure with the advise and consent of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the City Engineering Department. 11. The structure is proposed to be virtually all brick, though you will note that the drawings showing the rear elevation of the structure do not so designate. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to confirm this fact with the applicants at the public hearings. 12. As indicated on Drawing Number 1, the total square footage of the shops equals 42,900 square feet of which 15, 000 - -1. - square feet is for the anchor tenant, and the 27,900 square feet is for tenant shops. Forty-two thousand nine hundred square feet requires 215 parking spaces at 5 spaces per 1,000 square fE t. The total parking spaces proposed equals 249. Though thy. Ate plan does not indicate so, all parking areas and drives re required to be constructed with concrete curb. One of the features of the site design is the way in which -;he service is handled in conjunction with the northerly service drive of Rosedale Square to the south. The development of a common easement for this purpose should be a part of the effectuation of the development. 13. The landscape plan as proposed appears to be well thought out and will substantially enhance the visual appearance of the development from within and around the site. However, AI the parking area does not have the r,-Iuired 3 percent of landscaping development within the periphery of the parking lot area. Th.- landscape area does not specifically note what type of landscaping, if any, is to occur within the islands on the site. The islands within the parking area (surrounded by asphalt) and the extensions of the parking area are accounted in the 3 percent calculation. It would seem that it is simply the question of delineating more precisely what will happen on these islands and as already designated on the plan. 14. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to question the developers regarding the handling of the trash receptacles on the site. We have recently suggested to the Planning Commission and Council that our ordinances be amended to require such receptacles to be enclosed within the structure. Though a relatively small detail, the site plans do not indicate how the trash receptacle will be handled in this case.
