Shonkwiler: We've pulled this building west 45 ft. to provide an appropriate berm, as well as landscaping, to buffer that from the townhouses. We will do the same thing, when we know who this is. What we've tried to indicate here is what we're going to build starting this fall. This will be the landscaping that will be constructed immediately. Lathrop asked for an explanation of the grading plan, what they envision the elevation of the grading site to be, and at what point will there be ground elevations. Shonkwiler: This lot is essentially flat from Dahlia Street to McCaslin, draining in both directions, providing the requirement for detention. We've got a very flat site. What we are proposing to do is to overlot what we've got and create enough of a grade. Shopping centers will not deal with anything that is steeper than 5%, but they need a minimum of 1% to get water across their parking lots. You're going to see a manipulation of the typography, only to provide grading. There will be landscaping berms, as we develop along the perimeter of the site, particularly to the east of our anchor. We are not going to elevate these buildings up out of the ground. Sisk wondered about the parking configuration in relation to the aesthetic view, landscaping, and the need for snow removal equipment movement. Peter Cudlip, stated that there will be a design guideline that everyone will have to follow on this property and will be attached to the contracts. Shonkwiler stated that there will be state-of-the-art landscaping. 7
