Council Member Shoe - Corrigan said the pond area will be an entryway to the City and asked about the landscaping. Todd Johnson noted that trees are not allowed in county easement because of sight lines, but flowers and shrubbery will be used to create a sense of place. Mr. Johnson could not disclose yet what other businesses are interested. Discussion was held regarding condition 10 which might limit negotiations because of timing. Two wording changes were negotiated for condition 10 removing the "first phase of ' and adding the words "full service" before restaurant, which would allow the building to be custom designed.
