ParkIng: I am told by the owners that the corner portIon OfthIS site IS not a separate tax lot. And is part of the entire shoppmg center. The reason this is Important to the dIscussIOn, IS that the Center has excess parkmg for the current zoning requirements, We mtend to develop the corner portIOn WIthout addttional parkmg and use the current parkIng excess parking for the new development. If bemg a separate tax lot becomes a problem the owners will make sure It is one development. The Planrung Department TransportatIOn DIVISIOn WIll respond to tills questIOn 2. Tree Removal: The sIte has some large conifer trees on the corner, It is our mtent to remove some but retam the maJonty ofthe existing mature trees. Comfers do not make great street trees, Would thIS become a problem for the City and how many and how large can be removed? It will be important for the constructIOn, the sidewalk, sigh times at the corner and VISIbIlIty to the Center for some removal. The Planrung Department WIll respond to tills questIOn 3. Reconstruction of the parkIng at northern portIon of the current parkIng lot. The current pavmg has detenorated and wIll need adJustmg re-gradmg, markIng and resurfacing Smce this parkmg area was developed many years before the current drainage and storm water prOVISIOns, what deSign standard wIll apply?

Access: Currently the access to the site tS a de-acceleratIon lane and rn only access. To eXIt and to understand how to eXIt this site IS very difficult and unpacts the neighbors especially those on the steep portIon of Prescott It is very confusrng and clearly hampers the character and the use of the site. When the property was developed, Centenmal must have been thought to be a limited access street. One-half block to the east, It is residentIal with many pornts of access. We are requestIng to move the pornt of nght "m access" and request a pomt of nght "out access". Is this possible and what rnformatIon will have to be gathered and/or the process for thIS approval? The Plannmg Department TransportatIOn DIvIsIOn WIll respond to thIs questIOn 5. What other matters and Issues Will be a tnpping pornt for the first development of this proJect?
