Developmental Conce Pt FT. NEW STREET: 0 This submittal describes plans for a mixed use development of office, hotel, and retail to be located on 97.446 acres at the intersection of Shackleford Road and I-430. A two -level retail galleria in the center of the highest level will Yee the focal point; and glass enclosed entrances will provide a welcome atmosphere. The developer has listed several major design features and plan components which will include: (1) Internalized ring road. (2) Two phased project with off -site improvements to io be constructed in Phase I. Site grading accomplished during initial phase so that building construction during the second phase will require minimal disruption. (3) Only four points of access to Shackleford in the 3,000 linear feet of spacing, whereas the City regulations allow for ten. (4) Cut and fill has been minimized. N Z-4923 -.Continued (5) Perimeter Open Space Treatment of landscaped areas and natural buffer areas ranging in width from 50' to 1001. A true survey has been done to reflect the number and location of large species of trees to be retained. (6) Intense landscaping of open space and parking in excess of City requirements. (7) Pedestrian connections between major use ares within the site and covered walkways and bridges to facilitate encouraging pedestrian movement. (8) Preservation of an approximate two acre lake as a focal point for major office development and will serve as primary detention facility. (9) Improvements include reconstruction of.
