p Mr. Mike Gaffron August 16, 2004 Page Two On Wednesday, WJM, L.L.C. will begin to resurface the large parking lot on the east of the building. The storm sewer lines under the parking area are constructed very shallow. Unfortunately, the invert elevation at the eastern drainage dit^x. s such that it was impossible to lower the storm sewer lines Consequently, WJM p • jses to create a green space at the mid<point in the parking area to create a surface drainage condition and to avoid driving and plowing over the storm sewer line. The shallow storm sewer lines wM be left in place, but the invert at the eastern drainage ditch will be moved south approximately 20 feet. The green space will indude five trees that will create a visual break in the eastern parking lot. WJM proposes to replace the lost parkirig spaces at the south end of the existing eastern parking lot These changes are depicted on the revised Site Plan which is attached as Exhibit B. Given the changes to the configuration of the parking area, two new light poles are proposed. These light poles are depicted on the revised Site Plan and would be constructed consistent with the approved lighting specifications. Finally. WJM. L.LC. requests that deadlines for construction pursuant to its approved Site Plan be extended through December 31.2005. WJM, L L.C. was only recently advised that the wetlarxls on the southwest of the property have been exempted from MCWD regulations Because of the lead times necessary for interior improvements, the new parkifkj area on the southwest and the new driveway would not be needed until 2005. Please let me know if it will be necessary to present these proposed changes to the Planning Commission and City Council. Very truly yours. Peter W.
