The applicant has provided colored, textured crossing areas where the walkways cross automobile lanes. The site plan allows for the future option to connect to the new park planned to the west of the site along Elmer's Two-Mile Creek. The Parks Department has not yet developed plans for the park. Therefore, these connection points cannot yet be defined. The new site plan provides a significant amount of new landscaping both along the perimeter of the site and within the parking area.
Landscaping is provided along all new pedestrian access walkways.
New parking lot planter islands are provided to augment the landscaping internal to the parking area. The applicant is adding a new screening fence along the west property line. The fence will be a solid wood fence with intermittent brick pillars. This will improve the appearance of the site from the new Iris Hollow Development and the City park planned immediately west along the creek. The proposed architecture serves to break up the large, solid mass of the existing K-Mart store into smaller facades to define the different uses.
