The site design has incorporated a sidewalk layout along the main driveway off of <br />• Apollo Dr., along the entrance out to Lake Dr. and along the storefronts. <br />In the submitted narrative it is stated that different pavement treatments are proposed at <br />significant crossing points within the development although they are not indicated on the <br />plan. <br />While it is not intended that the design incorporate all elements of the Village concept it <br />is staff opinion that pedestrian circulation could be better addressed and encouraged. <br />Utilities <br />Detailed plans have been submitted for sanitary sewer, water and storm water <br />management.
