Re: Swager Mall
File No. 55
Gentlemen:
On August 14, 1978 a meeting was held with Mr. Norris Swager and Gordon Anderson,
City Planner relative to the planning of the Swager Mall. Included in the dis-
cussion was a review of the ring road, fire and emergency access, future build-
ings, general parking, movement of vehicles in and out of the center and the
drainage and fence along the south boundary.
The need for a ring road must be maintained. It is essential that this road be
established to assure peripheral movement of vehicles away from and around the
center. This would pertain to the south side contiguous to the existing lots.
This road will effectively make the center particularly with any new buildings.
There must be an inner road network around the buildings. This road serves to
provide access for emergency vehicles as well as all delivery and collection
vehicles. The present setup must be improved or serious problems could result.
There would be special concern if a two story walkout building is built later on
the east side.
The present road network should be maintained. Any effort to enlarge buildings
to effectively reduce to present road alignment should be discouraged.
A fence on the south side was reviewed to verify the effective use and problems
if a curbing is placed about 10 to 20 feet from the south property line. The
variance in distance may be needed to save existing trees. The fence can be
placed along the south line from 2 to 6 feet off the property line, not necesr
sarily in a straight line to prevent pedestrian cross through. The plan is work-
able. No drainage problem should occur if the construction is carefully co-
ordinated due to the reduced water vylume collected for the three easterly lots.
Yours very truly, -
