Mr. Oaflron <br />P«m2 <br />R« StonaSay <br />April U. 2004 <br />from the building comer would further improve traffic flow. Landscaping has been <br />removed from the center median of the main entrance off of Kelle> Parkway to allow the <br />public sidewalk to extend through the median. <br />Development Aesthetics > <br />A screen wall extension has been added to the northwest comer of the pharmacy <br />building to wrap around and disguise the proposed trash enclosures from vehicles <br />entering off of Kelley Parkway. We have also meandered the sidewalk on the east side <br />of the development to allow more green space separation between the sidewalk and <br />Willow Drive. The proposed parking was also shifted west slightly to add more green <br />space along the east. A variety of evergreens, taller ornamental grasses and flowering <br />shrubs have been combined to form several hedgerows along the south side of the <br />parking lot. The hedges will work well to break up the expanse of parking, but still allow <br />strong visibility to the various retail users. The retaining wails on the west side of the <br />property that separate the trail from the existing retention pond have been tiered to <br />allow for more creative landscaping, but also keeps the walls below four feet in height <br />for structural and safety reasons. <br />In conclusion, we are confident that these plans are a good representation of all of our <br />efforts to collaborate and provide the best development possible for this comer. We <br />are excited, and look forward to moving ahead with the approval process. Please feet <br />free to call with any questions at 612-252-9070. <br />Sincerely, <br />LANDFORM* <br />Vicki J.
