y previously submitted and approved. G. Malone seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. J. Lasko moved to approve the proposal for Wild Mango of 362 Great Northern Mall as shown in the development plans stamped March 7, 2007 with the following conditions: 1. Westfield Corporation shall submit a comprehensive landscaping plan for the north faqade of the mall within 60 days. 2. The changes found acceptable include the differing base material, different height of the base, different door, different door and window framing, different column material, and the removal of the bird wire. 3. The proposed revised lighting fixture is an acceptable fixture to be placed over the six awnings but rather than the antique bronze finish the Commission recommends the finish be a mirror finish. The Commission recommends such lighting will not exceed 90 watts each both up and down and is found to be decorative lighting therefore not requiring any variance. The three light fixtures which are installed within the archway are recommended to be replaced with three mini spot fixtures such as MR16 or equal. 4. In order to tie together the elements which were originally approved with the elements that are proposed to be approved as amended, it is the Commission's recommendation that the EIFS material indicated as classic cream will be changed to a color to be determined by the applicant but reflecting a more gray tinting so as to tie together the entire appearance of the fa?ade of the building in a more complete package. R. Bohlmann seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. 2. RTA-Park and Ride Expansion; 5575 Great Northern Boulevard (WRD 4) Proposal consists of expansion of the transit facility. Consolidation plat will be required. Street vacation plat will be required. Note: PDC tabled proposa101/10/07. Ms. Wenger reported that the proposal consisted of expanding the existing RTA Park and ride facility to include additional parking, lighting and stormwater detention but would not include new structures. The applicant modified the grading in order to move the drainage swale onto the RTA property as the commission requested. Solid fencing is shown stepping off of the buffered mound around the basin area and does not show a gate along Kennedy Ridge Road. Landscaping is provided along I-480 and the mound screened. Landscaping appears along the ODOT highway property. ODOT submitted a letter indicating their agreement to the proposed plans. Additional landscaping needs to be added around the hammerhead area to block vehicle lights. Mr. Collins said the applicant's site engineer is addressing the easement, embankment work, and sewer work along ODOT right-of-way. However he said there were discrepancies pertaining to existing and proposed trees on different sheets of the plans. The hammerhead needs to be dedicated to the City as the City will be responsible for maintaining the street. The County is required to approve the applicants' plat prior to the City approving the vacation plat for the project. All sections of land owned by ODOT needs to be consolidated into one parcel as well. Mr. O'Malley reviewed the commission's role in addressing street planning issues, which include vacating a street no longer utilized. Mr.'Kleve, RTA Engineering Director, Mr. Burlij, RTA facility` manager, and Mr. Goerndt with Osborn Engineering addressed the proposal. Mr. Kleve reviewed the letter from ODOT stating that plans are acceptable and would approve all permits necessary. As requested the hammerhead will be dedicated to the City so the plans will be revised. Mr. Kleve requested the commission grant them partial approval so they can continue to move forward with tree removal before an EPA deadline of April 15, 2007. He requested the City grant them the right to remove existing trees prior to receiving final approval. 3
