Memorandum <br />_~~ -~ <br /> <br />~ ( <br />To: <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />s <br />• From: CRIME PREVENTION SPECIALISTS, CTJNZ/EDINGER <br />Elk <br />River Date: <br />SEPTEMBER 2 0 , 19 95 <br />Police Department Subject: .SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR R . E . P . L . T . D <br />This .memo is to express our concerns regarding the above property <br />development. Our records show that this area is a problem area <br />already, therefore, we are concerned .with the proposed changes. <br />Our goal is to have the area more compatible with CPTED design <br />concepts of natural surveillance and territorial behavior. <br />We would like to recommend that the area be kept unobstructed by <br />landscaping features such as clusters of shrubs and groves of <br />trees, which provides hiding places and obstructed viewing from <br />the street into the parking lot. <br />Another concern is park benches or sitting areas. This promotes <br />loitering. This .area does not provide adequate lighting and <br />would only encourage unsafe activities. <br />This area generates youth problems and we feel that a different <br />design would be beneficial at this point. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
