Mr. Bieszczad briefly reviewed the location of the site and reviewed the plan.
He showed a rendering of the outside of the building which had been approved
by the Appearance Commission.
Mr. Ezzi stated the high water mark on the creek is 665' , the building will
be placed around 680' and the detention will have a high water mark of 673' .
They are meeting with Commonwealth Edison to discuss using their land to
create a slope on their ground to meet the high water mark. They will have
to go about 20' onto the Commonwealth Edison property to create this slope.
The alternative is a retaining wall.
The developer will comply with the points listed in Mr. Kuenkler's memo of
November 7, 1985 to Mr. Truesdell titled Creekside Commons preliminary Plan
Review. The refuse will be in the back of the building enclosed in a 6'
fence and that area will be approximately 5' in depth. There will be no
parking in the back of the building. East of the service drive, on Busch
Parkway, could possibly be the location for the new train station. At a
later time the developer would commit to extending the pedestrian sidewalk
down. He would also commit to making a sidewalk from the walkway on Busch
Parkway to the arcade without going through the parking lot. The building
will be face brick all around. The HVAC equipment will be hidden on the roof
by the roofing. The roof is 16' in front and 13' in back. The fence will
extend from the far southeast corner to the northwest corner behind the
service drive.
