Memo to Planning Commission/CU 98-11 April 28, 1998 Page 4 • Either the grade between the wall and trail should be flattened or a greater distance between the trail and retaining wall be achieved. This may require eliminating parking stall number (9). B. Landscaping 1. Depending upon the number of existing trees that are saved, there may be additional landscaping required to meet the City's ordinance. The traffic study may require some of the trees to be removed along Jackson Road and 193rd to increase the site distance from the driveway onto Jackson, back towards 193rd and Highway 169. Once it is known the number of existing trees that will have to be removed, an accurate determination of the required landscaping can be determined. 2. Staff would recommend some additional conifers be planted immediately west of the 10 future parking stalls to soften the appearance from Jackson Road towards the multiple drive-thru lanes on the south side of the building. • C. Pedestrian Circulation 1. An easement will need to be described for the existing bituminous trail that cuts the northwest corner of the property along Jackson Road. 2. One of the conditions for the TCF site plan approval was to extend a sidewalk from Freeport Avenue along the west edge of the private drive which serves the TCF and Norwest Bank site. It is recommended that Norwest Bank also provide a sidewalk extension to meet up with this sidewalk to encourage pedestrian access to the site. 3. If the new access drive is constructed onto Jackson Road, pedestrian ramps would need to be provided on both sides of the entrance drive for the bituminous trail. 4. A connection from the bituminous trail along Jackson Avenue to the sidewalk system internal to the site should be provided. This is consistent with other developments to encourage as much pedestrian access as possible. • s:\planning\pc\cu98-11.doc
