Concerns from the Mall’s Perspective

- 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
SLIDE 11
Maplewood Mall
SLIDE 12
Before and After Renderings Showed the Mall Owners What to Expect
SLIDE 13
Designs that Minimized Loss of Parking Were Presented
SLIDE 14
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
