 Novack provided background information on the River Main PUD project
 that was previously approved by City Council, explaining that portions of the
 proposed building hang over a portion of the lower Riverwalk walkway, a
 detail that was not evident during the initial review. A minor change to the
 PUD will be on the City Council’s agenda at the next scheduled meeting on
 June 15th. Novack requested feedback from the Commission to provide to
 Council.

 Steve Rubin was introduced and provided information on the proposed
 multi-use project which may potentially offer retail on the ground floor, a
 restaurant on the 2nd floor, and office space on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floor.
 He explained that the overhang was intended to have a lighting system
 underneath to provide a welcoming front.

 Discussion followed regarding the lighting, if it would be illuminated at all
 times, and how it would interplay with the existing Shepherd’s Crook
 lighting. Rubin explained that the lighting was part of a LED package that
 would be glowing, have a natural feel, with sensors that could be controlled
 to support the ambiance of the building. Erickson read a statement from
 former Riverwalk Commission Chairman Rick Hitchcock, who suggested
 that the corner of the west end of the building be pushed back a few feet.

 The Commission also inquired about windows on the 2nd floor, which
 Rubin advised will be fixed with the intent that only the end windows will
 open. Cuff and Joseph expressed concern with banquets being held in the
 open space on the balcony, the 2nd floor restaurant and possible
 interactions with Riverwalk patrons. Roehll discussed the distance from the
 overhang of the cantilever and provided more information on the LED
 lighting sensors that can be controlled for both ambiance and safety.
 Khimani inquired about the lighting being warm or cool. Kennedy
 expressed concern with the glowing light, noting that it should not be
 different from the feel of the existing lighting, and inquired if the overhang
 would cause shade or impact maintenance on that area of the Riverwalk.
 Stibbe replied that the area is maintained by the Park District in the
 summer and closed off in winter when there is snow and ice.

 The Commission requested that the developer work with them before,
 during and after the installation on the color and tone of the lighting. The
 Commission also expressed concern with possible interactions with
 Riverwalk pedestrians from the restaurant and balcony. It was also
 suggested that the west end of the cantilever be pulled back a few feet.

 They are trying to get this on the Last Fling agenda and ideas include
 having cake and ice cream coupons distributed to get people into the
 businesses downtown. This will be supported by the Downtown Naperville
 Alliance. There will not be a Duck Race this year but ducks could be
 decorated.
 4. In-person Meetings Starting in July - Bill Novack

 Novack advised that plans are to begin in-person only meetings with the
 July 6th Riverwalk Planning, Design and Construction Committee meeting,

 Riverwalk Commission meeting will be held in-person, also. Participants
