Dear Mr. Glissan:
It has come to my attention that you have recently submitted new letters of
credit to the City's Engineering Department and the Zoning Administrator for
public improvements and landscaping not completed for the Prospect Plaza
PUD.
As you know, City staff, as well as the Planning and Zoning Board are con-
cerned that these improvements have not been completed since the project's
December 1, 1988 approval. A focus of the review and subsequent approval of
this project was the proposed landscape improvements for the Prospect Road
frontage and the access/safety improvements by re -configuration of the curb
cuts for the site. While there may have been extenuating circumstances
preventing your timely completion of this project, I would like to stress the
importance of completing the project this Spring, as soon as possible. If these
improvements are not completed prior to expiration of the letters of credit, the
City will be able to use the letters of credit to cover the cost of the
improvements, although we would prefer that you complete the improvements.
There is also a matter to clarify regarding the existing satellite disk that was
installed on the Prospect Plaza PUD site without an amendment to the
approved PUD site plan. The satellite disk was installed in the parking lot,
removing several parking spaces from use. Parking adequacy, given the
existing and proposed land uses, was an item of discussion before the Planning
and Zoning Board. In fact, when additional landscaping was requested by
staff, the response from your representative, George Hass, was that additional
landscaping could not be provided without a negative affect on parking.
The satellite disk must either be removed, or approval must be obtained for a
change to the approved plan. Both staff and the Board are concerned about
the overall affect on parking if the disk remains where presently located.
Please contact me should you have any questions. I look forward to your
timely resolution of these matters.
Sincerely,
n
