<br />The proposed residential development is a major step in the redevelopment of the downtown area. <br />The development would replace existing older commercial buildings and create a more urban <br />setting with residential buildings located closer to 5th Avenue NW. The townhouse development <br />would also compliment existing land uses and those redevelopment projects currently under <br />construction in the downtown area. <br /> <br />Landscaping for the proposed development would be an extension of the landscape and <br />steetscape plan for 5th Avenue NW in the downtown area. The proposed landscape plan for the <br />subject site would soften the impact of the proposed residential buildings with an abundance of <br />deciduous and coniferous trees, shrubs, and foundation plantings. <br /> <br />The only change noted on the final plat is the most westerly road, which was proposed to loop <br />around the most westerly proposed townhouse buildings, would be deadended at the southwest <br />corner of the development. Since this road would deadend, it should be flared at the end to allow <br />for adequate vehicle turn around space. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Motion to RECOMMEND APPROVAL Of fiNAL PLAT PL-211 AND PRO-58, SUBJECT TO THE <br />fOLLOWING CONDITIONS: <br /> <br />1.
