Mr. O'Malley advised that Council was in the process of reviewing legislation pertaining to pedestrian walkways which will be a police regulation not a zoning regulation but was not sure if it was applicable to the area in question. Mrs. Meredith questioned how the color of the batches being poured made a difference when the letter suggests that multiple batches created with different compositions seem to create the proUleins. Mr. Hartman suggested that URS advised him it made a difference that is why the control joints are now at a 90 degree angle to the curb whereas the colored pours were at 45 degree angle to the curbs. The 90 degree angles are easier to maintain then the 45 degree angles. Mr. Mahoney asked for clarification of the concrete type and pattern used along the south plaza. Mr. Hartman advised that the south plaza is a color pattern the same as the north however there are no trees in the sidewallcs and they are not having the same problems as the north plaza. Ms. Wenger suggested the Commission make a motion on each issue separately as it seemed the Commission had mixed feelings on the two issues. Mr. Mahoney asked for clarification as to the boundaries of the changes being requested. Mr. Hartman advised that the last page of the plans marlced received May 3, 2006 show the changes which were completed in 2005 and those to be made in 2006. The south plaza will not be addressed at this time, they will return if and when those sidewallcs need to be replaced. M.

M. Mahoney moved to approve the proposal for DDR MDT Great Northern of 26035- 26437 Great Northern Shopping Center consisting of tree removal and replaceinent as submitted by the applicant to relocate trees as shown in the plans in the north parking fields rather than the lawn area of the south plaza.

Wulff 'Y'attoo Studio; 30584 & 30586 Lorain Road: (WRD 3): Proposal. consists of a determination of similar use in the General Retail Business District for the proposed tattoo studio. Note: Due to time constraints Planning & Design Commission tabled the proposal on 04-26-06.
