Concerns from the Mall’s Perspective

  • Appearance of features
  • Maintenance
  • Disruption of shopping, especially during the

holiday shopping season

  • Coordination of agreements from anchor

stores, other tenants, who have differing lease agreements

  • Loss of Parking Spaces

Before and After Renderings Showed the Mall Owners What to Expect

SLIDE 13

Designs that Minimized Loss of Parking Were Presented

However, in some areas, mall owners were willing to lose spaces to gain aesthetic appeal and traffic control

SLIDE 15

Concerns from the Watershed District’s perspective

  • Cost-effectiveness and visibility
  • Strong interest in keeping some features

“above ground” where they are visible and less expensive to construct and maintain

  • Access to the corporate office where the

company’s decisions are made

  • Many utilities (some not well marked) to deal

with in design and construction

  • Compacted soils- low infiltration rates
