Among these details is a 0-foot setback from the property line, combined with narrower sidewalks compared to those to the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City Administration has concerns that the developers\u2019 plan does not follow best planning practices. The concept plan appears to show the tower\u2019s street level primarily containing automobile and bicycle parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the development agreement there appears to be a small amount of space added to the adjacent public park. However, there is a land swap with the City, and the net amount of additional public space has yet to be identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the City&#8217;s Recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tower should not exceed 150 feet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 740 Alton Road Property shall be EXCLUDED from the proposed Development Agreement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The east elevation of the proposed residential tower completely redesigned to fully activate and engage the sidewalk along Alton Road, consistent with best planning practices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The surface parking lot proposed adjacent to the revised one-story retail buildings on the south side of the park shall be removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First reading, which is a Public Hearing, is scheduled for June 28.
