Council Minutes of 5/16/2006 consolidation plat and invoking deed restrictions. The motion was seconded by Council Member Dailey Jones and passed unanimously. • Great Northern Plaza (north), 26035 to 26437 Great Northern Shopping Center. The proposal consists of replacing concrete sidewalks and relocating trees at Great Northern Plaza. In 2005, Developer's Diversified made a minor change request to replace colored concrete sidewalks on the very east end of the plaza with a monotone concrete sidewalk. When it was stamped as color, it was originally part of the approved renovation back in the late 1990's. Developer's Diversified indicated the sidewalks were in poor shape-cracked due to heavy water infiltration resulting from very poor installation. The request at that time was approved. This year they made a similar minor change request to replace additional sidewalks and also to remove and relocate 13 trees, which are currently within the sidewalk area. The minor change was rejected due to the landscape proposal to remove trees. This covers the plaza from Comp LJSA all the way down to the point where there is abreak-through to Plaza South. The committee was in agreement that the proposal to remove the trees would not be acceptable. However, after discussion concerning cause and why the sidewalks had failed and whose fault that was, the committee did vote to recommend approval of the change of the colored concrete to a stamped concrete use. Councilman Gareau made a motion to approve the proposal for Great Northern Plaza North, 26035 to 26437 Great Northern Shopping Center to replace the colored concrete subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski. and passed unanimously. The proposal to remove the 13 trees is rejected, anti those 13 trees will stay there. If they are not healthy, they will be replaced. • Councilman Gareau noted the BZD Committee meetings are available on-line at the city website.
