1? construct a landscape buffer on the south property line adjacent to Handy Andy's consisting of mounding with evergreens similar to what is along the Victoria Lane easement; to repave the Victoria Lane easement area (from Country Club Boulevard north to the service drive of Plaza North) with an arrangement that is acceptable to the association as to how the costs will be proportioned; the condominium resideuts can continue to use the spaces south of Plaza North, until they are needed, at no cost to them; they will repair the portion of the east/west service drive adjacent to where the buffer zone is to be installed in an attempt to level the pavement which may eliminate some of the noise from trucks, however, by the end of the year, they hope to submit plans to improve the entire service road; they will also research the leases of Handy Andy and Marc's to determine if they can recommend that trash compactors be installed to reduce some of the trash removal activity; further they will prohibit the burniug waste by their tenants; and finally, they intend to re-kindle a spirit of co-operation between the condominium residents and themselves and have suggested that a complaint form be devised in order to log the various complaints made by the residents against tenants in the shopping center. In reference to the concerns mentioned by the Planning Commission at the previous meeting, the height of the building has been reduced by 4 feet which is compatible with the rest of the center; the crimson red will be changed to the same accent red that exists on Plaza North; they are also looking into some buffering or souud deadening material that can be applied to the inside of the truck dock wall to assist in eliminating some of the echo that might occur, and he noted that this dock is about 350 feet from the closest corner of the condominiu.m building as opposed to 100 feet from the existing Gentry's dock; all lighting will be shielded; and they will be installing prohibitive signage to keep trucks from dieseling in the back and delivering during off hours. There are a number of d.ifferent types of leases, but in general they can enforce the delivery hours by means of the lease. Mr. Gorris stated that he had not had time to review both proposals. Mr. Hogan, president of the condominium association, was asked to spe4 at this time. He advised that after the meetings mentioned by Mr. Papandreas, the association received 'mput from the residents and presented their proposal to the developer, after which he met with Mr. Papandreas and Mr. Gould to work out a final proposaL He is confident that everything will be worked out satisfactorily. They want the mound, to be consistent with the mound on Victoria Lane and this will be reviewed by the forester. Mr. Gorris stated that both the forester and the Architectural Review Board will review the plans. Mr. Hogan advised that they are makiug up a complaint form and will work with Biskind Development and the city regard.ing all complaints. Mr. Miller suggested that it might be best not to stripe the new parking spaces behind Best Buy to discourage dxivers parking behind the plaza. Mr. Papandreas agreed to this as long as the city could include those spaces in their parking space count. Building Commissioner Conway had no problem with that. Mr. Gorris -- suggested that stripes be removed from the next plan. Regarding the height of the peak, a new drawing showed that the elevation would be no taller than Marshall's so the height will not exceed any of the existing heights. Neither the members of the audience nor the members had any more questions. B. Gorris moved to refer the Best Buy proposal, 5152 Great Northern Plaza South, to the Architectural Review Board and ask that they pay particular attention to the screening both adjacent to condominium association on the Handy Andy side as well adjacent to this development; it is the Commission's assumption that the plans presented to the A.R.B. will have the muted red tone that will agree with Plaza North. Also to refer to the forester for his input as it relates to the screening; to the Safety and Engineering Departments for their input; seconded by L. Orlowski At this point, Mr. Thomas asked what the Commission would need to -. 2
