J <br /> • <br /> The Plan has the following primary characteristics: <br /> • The existing shopping center including the former grocery store focuses on a <br /> Village Green, which would be designed to create a small town feeling. This <br /> Green could contain such community uses as a band shell/gazebo, park benches <br /> and trees and a water feature. <br /> • The.Green is the center point of the plan and is connected to the residential areas <br /> and the larger community by a system of lineal park trails. <br /> • The primary land use around the Village Green is retail shopping and accessory <br /> parking <br /> • The retail adjacent to the shopping center has been slightly re-configured with <br /> additional retail. About 24,000 square feet of new retail would be added to the <br /> area. <br /> • The Fire Station and Liquor operations would be retained in the area. <br /> • Additional parking would be added and the existing inefficient parking <br /> arrangements improved. The amount of new parking would be greater then the <br /> existing parking and would accommodate the new retail as well as the existing <br /> retail. <br /> • • Some of the single-family homes are retained in the southwest corner of the area <br /> • A small 18,000 square foot office area is added in the southwest area to <br /> complement the bank just to the northwest across Kenzie Terrace. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ILK Kuusis o L d. <br /> LharL Krier, CP <br /> Cc Planning Commission <br /> City Manager <br /> Homer/robin/mydoc/99513m <br />
