• R in order to reduce the negative impact on the neighboring residents (Colebrook and Clareshire Condominiums), of tfie loading docks and trash compactor in the proposed development, the Commission would like the developer to provide two alternate footprint locations of the building on overlays; the pri.mary one to include a 100 foot setback as our codes require, with landbanked parking. In other words, take the parking that would be removed from the front and landbank it in the back. By landbanked parking, the Commission means: show it on the plan, but in reality it would not exist, it would be grass, green space and mound. That 100 foot would have 75 feet of evergreen and deciduous trees (and also include the mound that is shown on the plan raised to 5 foot dirt height and 8 foot fence height). There should be 25 foot of lawn or green over an unpaved road for fire and safety access. The other footprint requested would be for the building to be moved to the west side of the parcel so the Commission could look at how it would be positioned and which would provide an idea of the developers feelings on how the building would be restricted, or how it would effect the development. The Commission would really need to see it to make a judgement. But once that new foot print is provided on the west side of the development, the mounding and buffering should remain at 50 foot with the same mounding height that we just Mentioned. With the first footprint moved to include the 100 foot setback, and move the docks and the- trash compactor forward and out of .that 100 foot setback. The Commission would also like to add additional buffering and mounding in the south eastern quadrant of the development particularly to buffer the Clareshire Court Condominiums from the noise from the trash compactor and truck docks. Also an elevation plan of the back of the building is requested showing what the back of the building would look like in that 100 foot with the mound at the proposed height. Also to refer this development to Safety, Engineering, and the City Forester for their input and would particularly like the City Forester to review all existing mature trees in the area of the. proposed buffer and determine whether or not those trees can be saved and which trees should be planted in order to provide the quickest growth for the most stable development. The Commission would also like the city to review its cost of any infrastructure improvements and provide some kind of direction that those infrastructure improvements whether they are to take place now or to take place 5 years from now based on the increased traffic in the development of this parcel. Since the proposal on both sides has residential type living, the Vdestbury Apartments and the Colebrook and Clareshire Condominiums, it is requested that the lighting poles be limited to the height of the building which is 26 feet. There is no reason why this cannot be laid out, the developer might have to install more poles and different types of devices in the fixtures themselves, but the ability to do it is there and it should not be a problem. The Commission would also like a more detailed plan for sidewalks and crosswalks i.n and out of this development based on new footprint of the building. Also, the Commission would like to get an idea of that sidewalk access from all this development, the entire Corporate Center development, where all the other sidewalks are existing here since this is all considered one development, in other words how they all link together. The Commission would also like an up to date landscape plan, that shows the correct mounding and landscaping with the proposed fence on the Wal-Mart side as discussed, and also the Commission would like to see how the parapet wall is going to screen the H.V.A.C. units and how they are going to screen the utilities, seconded by B. Gorris, and unanimously approved. During the framing of the motion, Mr. Orlowski suggested that a third footprint be submi.tted showing the Wal-Ma,rt building positioned such that the building will be in front of or north of the Corporate Center building and Corporate Center I parking lot. The other members preferred not to ask for that at this time. Mr. Thomas moved to 13
