TCC Center Companies, Case No. 1937 Page 4 drawings, the rerouting of the utility lines including water supply for the relocation of hydrants as required. i) Engineering Considerations: Engineering comments will be handled separately. The Staff, however, has indicated some areas of concern as follows: 1) It will be important to establish methods of traffic circulation and control during the construction. 2) Some clarification is desired in the drainage plan with respect to the handling of the drainage of the second level of the southeast ramp. 3) Measures should be taken for protecting the existing storm catch basins to minimize clogging with dirt and debris. 4) The ultimate landscape plan clearly does not indicate planting of the trees above utility lines. j) Pedestrian Access: At a recent work session with the Council, it was suggested that emphasis be placed on the pedestrian access system. Accordingly, we have asked the applicants to prepare a detailed plan illustrating the existing and proposed pedestrian walkways, emphasizing accessibility to the entrances from the periphery o; the site and access to the adjoining centers to the w_^st (Tanurb) and to the north. The architects inform us that they are preparing that plan, though it is not ready for publication as of the date of this report. We suggest that pathways contiguous to the local thoroughfares, Fairview and County Road B-2, are important, as well as routes to the significant entrances to the center. k) Rights-of-WaL: Most of the periphery of the shopping center remains the same. We have requested that Center Companies take a careful look at the i . yht-of-way at the far southwest quadrant contiguous to Fairview Avenue. Where the additional lane is being added, the exact amount of right-of-way that remains for the piling of snow and any walkway, should be ascertained. Also, the parking setback should normally be 15 feet from any right-of-way. Therefore, we have asked that they prepare a more detail examination of the right-of-way condition at this point. 1) Mass Transit: Two functions of mass transit have been handled at Rosedale over the past years. One of these is the handling of bus transfers and bus terminal at the walk leading to the Dayton's entrance on the west side of the site. In addition, there has been a park and ride facility in the far southeast perimeter of the site, where persons park their cars during the day and take a bus downtown. The new construction for the new Dayton's store will displace the bus transfer and terminal point as it now exists. Representatives of the RTB and the MTC have been consulting with the Center Companies and the City Staff regarding the relocation of these functions. We have suggested that it is important to keep these at the regional center site. Currently, the potential for reloca'.ing the bus transfer and terminal facilities to the east side of t, e center
