The planter box would extend on to three feet of City property on 9th Street and Arthur Street up to Trolley Drive, designated on the attached blueprint. From Trolley Drive to Tenth Street, it would extend four feet, seven inches. On Tenth Street, it would extend three feet, six inches, and on Main Street it would extend fifteen feet. Trolley Square is located between 9th and 10th Street and Main and Arthur. It is a charming shopping mail which will, upon completion, be an immediate upgrade to the City of Caldwell's core retail community as well as providing additional beautification to the City. You are probably aware of the murals, trim work, signs, and construction both inside and outside of many of Caldwell's prominent downtown buildings which Miller Planning and Construction has already added to the City of Caldwell. The planter box we are requesting would provide a nice border of planting material to our development and to the City owned sidewalk remaining. There would be seven feet of sidewalk on the 9th Street : ;ide, five feet on the 10th Street side, nine feet on Arthur Street, and five feet on Main Street. Considering the lcoation of our development in regards to surrounding business, we feel that this sidewalk allowance is sufficient in accomodation of pedestrian traffic. Does this meet with your approval. Mr. Redmond pointed out the particulars with regard to the request on a drawing for the benefit of the City Council and also explained in depth just what the request was for.
