RE: Gateway Mall - Cabela's Final City Inspections
Subject:
Walter - Since our conversation earlier I had a discussion with the Building Inspector regarding this issue and can advise
as follows: The April 20'h deadline for completion of site improvements is self-imposed by Cabela's and the City is still
operating under the assumption that a full Certificate of Occupancy will be needed prior to formal store opening on May
5th. The current Temporary Certificate of Occupancy expires on May 3'd. City staffs understanding of what constitutes
"media day" is that this event is comparable to opening the store doors to customers and therefore requires a full
Certificate of Occupancy from the City's Building Inspector. Correspondingly, completion of the parking lot and driving
aisle striping and signage needs to occur before a final Certificate of Occupancy can be issued, which means these
improvements must be in place before the April 20'h media day. The recommended landscaping repairs, parking lot
drainage modifications and other minor issues observed during the April 6 site visit require attention but will not hold up
issuance of occupancy.
I trust this clarifies the matter and please contact me or the City's Building Inspector, Robert Castile, if you have any
questions on this issue. Thanks

Subject: Gateway Mall - Cabela's Final City Inspections
Andy,
Thank you for taking the time today to discuss the final site inspection conducted April 6, 2011 and issued April 7, 2011.
As discussed, the items on the attached will be completed by the end of April. The ponding issue or Item 3 on the City list
is informational and will need to be addressed by GGP at a later date. This item will not hold up the City issuance of
Cabela's Certificate of Occupancy. Also, the slur~ coat and striping or Item 2 on the City list is not required to be
completed prior to Cabela's media day on April 20'. No Certificate of Occupancy is required for Cabela's media day.
If you have any questions or disagree with any of the items above, please advise.
Walter Wisniewski Construction Manager Ph 312/960-5083 Fax 312/994-6748

Doug: Attached is the revised landscaping drawing for the southwest corner of the parking lot that I received from
Schirmer & Associates Landscape Architects. The planting plan replaces the trees that were removed from 'under the
power line with shrubs as noted on the diagram. As noted in Item #8 on the site inspection summary, most of the
replacement shrubs were not observed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
