Several of the conditions withhold approval for certain aspects of the

plan, such as the curb cut at the western edge of the property along

Georgian Park Drive. Also withheld was any approval that the city's

greenspace requirement has been met, until city staff can validate the

calculations.

Also, the city will evaluate the need for screening once the final site

plan is submitted to the city so staff can see the impact of the grading

and retaining walls.

Council is also requiring Faison Enterprises to develop an architectural

program for all buildings in the retail center that must be approved

Faison also cannot remove any trees on the site until a landscape plan

for the expansion is approved.

Another condition was to get rid of parking areas behind one of the

stores on the plan, and another was to add speed tables and other traffic

calming measures in front of the Target store.

Faison was also asked to consider expanding the buffer along the western

edge of the property to include a golf cart path, which would add more

protection for homeowners at St. Simon's Cove.
