He <br />noted that some changes have taken place in the plan since the March 28th <br />and April 18th Planning Commission meetings. He emphasized that the center <br />as proposed would be used by business for promotional days, civic displays, <br />dances, charity drives, and it would create employment and shopping convenience <br />for the residents of Mounds View. The total land area involved would be ten <br />acres. <br />Mr. Newman added that the shopping center would be about 103,000 square feet with <br />an enclosed mall of 7,500 square feet. Included in the shopping center would <br />be a Penny's super market, F.O.K. hardware store, fabric shop, men and women's <br />apparel, a barber shop, beauty shop, gift shop, and a radio and electronics <br />store. <br />He stated that the developer had hopes of getting a national food chain such as <br />McDonald's on the southeast corner of the property.

Landscaping would be an undulating berm with shrubs. <br />Lighting would be of three kinds: direct lighting for the parking lot, residential <br />lighting at the entrances and building lights in the rear for security. The <br />Building itself would be a one story steel frame concrete block. It would be <br />sprinkled, with soft brick along the front and sides. There would be a split - <br />faced roof. The enclosed mall would be air conditioned and heated. Drainage <br />has been discussed with the village engineer and will be provided according to <br />his approval.

Mr. Newman replied that "Yes" it was. Originally <br />it was further west but at the suggestion of the Planning Commission the exit was <br />moved to line up with Greenwood Drive. <br />Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillview Road felt that the access to the development was <br />not adequate. That he was not happy with the proposed McDonald's restaurant <br />on the property since it was a high traffic volume enterprise. And he was <br />concerned that the Village may be setting the property north of County Road I <br />up for a future rezoning. He felt the development needed better light and <br />noise protection and was concerned about truck traffic on Village streets. <br />Mrs. Geraldine Utphall, 7801 Greenwood Drive asked if there were exits onto <br />
