• <br /> the potential for redevelopment on the mall site certain additional properties will need to <br /> be included in the project. <br /> Not all of the properties included in the Preliminary Development Plan will necessarily <br /> be included in the final redevelopment, as depicted. The Plan shows redevelopment <br /> occurring on sites adjacent to the Apache Mall property itself. All uses along the west <br /> side of Silver Lake Rd from the railroad tracks north to Silver Lane are shown as being <br /> redeveloped. The Plan also shows those uses located on the east side of Stinson Blvd <br /> from 37th Ave NE to 39th Ave NE and along both sides of 39th east of Stinson, which in <br /> fact may not be immediately developed. Uses that would not be redeveloped include the <br /> Apache office building at the corner of Stinson Blvd and Silver Lane, the Equinox <br /> apartment complex and the Cub food store. <br /> The Cub food store serves as the focal point for a commercial hub north of the new east- <br /> west roadway. The new discount retail store will serve as the focal point for a <br /> commercial hub south of the new east-west roadway. These uses will be grouped to <br /> create a sense of closure and space, rather than a strip of separate buildings and parking <br /> lots. <br /> • Access to the existing Equinox apartment complex may ultimately tie into the street grid <br /> pattern, and attempts will be made to connect and integrate these apartments with the <br /> rest of the development, although the existing garage structures effectively fence them in, <br /> providing a stark edge rather than an inviting opening. The garages may be able to be <br /> screened or softened with extensive landscaping or other elements of the streetscape. <br /> All other businesses and buildings that will not be redeveloped will be integrated into the <br /> overall development plan through the use of landscaping, lighting, coordinated access <br /> points, signage, and other means. <br /> d. Use of Existing Access Points: The regional mall heritage of the site has provided it with <br /> two signalized and two non-signalized entrances. In reforming the interior automotive <br /> circulation system first consideration should be given to maintaining these four entrances <br /> as the primary and secondary access points to the site. <br /> The redevelopment area currently has a very poor circulation pattern. In order to <br /> maximize the potential for the core area of the site, a new central roadway has been <br /> designed, traversing the site east-west. This new street links the existing signalized <br /> intersections of Silver Lake Rd and Stinson Blvd with 39th Avenue NE. It also maintains <br /> access along Silver Lake Rd north of the Taco Bell, and along Stinson Blvd at 38`h <br /> Avenue (for the residential portion, only). <br /> • e.
