Eo (2) (3) incorporate native plant materials that are suitable to the conditions of the site and provide an aesthetic park-like appeal; and use an outlet structure at the Mississippi River which minimizes visual and physical intrusion in the park. : The view shed from the park to the RTC development should be considered. To the extent possible, plant materials should be used to screen the view of buildings or other man-made structures. Consideration of evening uses of the park should also be considered in lighting of the RTC development. Light cast into the park or that is visible from the park will have a long-term detrimental impact on use of the park for evening activities. The RTC design should preserve a wildlife corridor between Lake Itaska and the Mississippi · River. To that end, provisions should be made in the design, development of the RTC and the ' future park to ensure continuity in both the alignment and natural characteristics of the wildlife corridor. The City shall facilitate meetings prior to detailed design, to explore possibilities for achieving :i harmony in the architectural vernacular between the RTC development and the future park development, particularly where the two projects will interface, e.g. lighting, site furnishings, 'landscaping, etc. iThe design of the storm sewer system throughout the development and along the outfall to the Mississippi River will provide for adequate capacity for the county roadways in and around the development area including all roadways and ditches that now naturally drain toward the intersections of Bunker Lake Boulevard (C.R. 116) with Armstrong Boulevard (C.S.A.H. 83) and Ramsey Boulevard (C.R. 56), along with all county highways and intersections between Bunker Lake Boulevard and Highway 10, inclusive of Armstrong Boulevard and Ramsey Boulevard. rAdequate storage and drainage systems will be provided by the City for the ultimate section of !each of those roadways listed above in their £mal configuration as anticipated by this Agreement.
