5. The applicant should consider connecting the two retail buildings, which would eliminate the
need for pedestrians to cross the parking lot to move between retail buildings.
6. The applicant should provide a conservation easement to preserve the 150- to 200 -foot tree
buffer south of 36th Avenue. The conservation easement should be written to allow
construction of a trail along 36th Avenue and pedestrian trails to connect between 36th Avenue
and the Plymouth Marketplace development.
7. The applicant shall include design features in the detailed project plans to discourage traffic
through the project, such as: directional signs, speed humps, driveway width and materials, a
one-way drive south of the senior housing building, or any other measures that would
discourage the use of 36th Avenue.
8. The applicant shall minimize the use of alternative wetland buffers to the greatest extent
possible.
