Elk Park Center, Phase I Page 2 March 29, 1994 • Furthermore, the approval process also addressed issues that extended beyond the limits of the project. For example, storm water drainage issues, traffic impact studies, necessary street improvements, and environmental reviews have all been completed and satisfied to accommodate the development of Elk Park Center. Therefore, the purpose of this conditional use permit, as well as future conditional use permits, will focus primarily on specific site plan issues within the project limits. OVERVIEW Phase I of Elk Park Center will involve the construction and upgrading of streets and utility lines within and around the Elk Park Center project. The majority of this work will occur within the project itself, however, improvements to School Street, Jackson Road, and the extension of Freeport Avenue, will also occur. In addition to street and utility improvements, a pedestrian system along Freeport Avenue and Jackson Road will be constructed to facilitate easy access to the shopping center and other destination points in the area (i.e., schools) by way of non-motorized methods. • Buildings included in the first phase are as follows: • 65,800 square feet, Cub Foods • 90,000 square feet, Target Store • 3 retail buildings of 36,600, 29,025, and 24,600 square feet 246,025 square feet in total will be included in the first phase. The package of plans submitted for Phase I are in general compliance with the development plan approved by the City Council on December 20, 1993. Also included and made part of the plans are certain improvements that were specified in the conditional use permit. For example: around the ponding area in the southwest corner, a chain-link fence with one inch by one inch mesh has been included for security measures. Attached is a letter from Michael Shields, AKRW Architects, describing the architectural character, landscaping element, lighting design, signage plan, and other miscellaneous items pertaining to the project's first phase. • pcepc.doc
