1 *this would allow more green space to be developed around the perimeter to offset the fact that there would have to be a certain amount of pavement in the middle; 4 *every effort would be made to retain the existing trees on the 5 western and southern edges of the property next to the adjacent 6 residential areas. 7 Building Exteriors 8 *brick exteriors are required by the Redevelopers Agreement but wood 9 accents would be allowed to highlight the balcony or extended living 10 room areas. 11 Building Interiors 12 *each building will have a community room for the use of the 13 residents; 14 *internal trash collection and compactor systems would prevent any 15 trash outside the buildings; 16 *unit sizes will vary from the 850 square foot one bedroom units to 17 the 1 ,050 square foot two bedroom units. However, the building 18 configurations will allow a few 1,400 square foot bedroom units as they 19 did in the Summit Oaks project in Coon Rapids. • Emergency Vehicle Access and Pedestrian Pathway to Shopping Areas 21 *these features are not shown on the site plans but the developers are 22 willing to provide both of them and will be including plans for each in 23 the Final Plan; 24 *consideration would also be given to providing walking paths around 25 the site perimeters as long as they wouldn't interfere too much with 26 the provision of a green buffer for the project. 27 Drainage 28 *would be accomplished through three ponding areas and an outdoor 29 swimming pool would be constructed in the middle of the site; 30 *the rainfall would be collected in the ponds and released into the 31 City's sewer system only when it could handle the overflow; 32 *engineering on this aspect had not been completed but as pointed out 33 by the City Manager, over 500 of the site would be landscaped as 34 compared to 100% pavement now; 35 *the swimming pool elevations would naturally be higher than the 36 ponds. 0 4
