be more acceptable and blend a little more with nature of surrounding properties.

details for median entrance to include proper drainage, entrance design similar to
Ozaukee County access, entrance drawings to include how drainage will be routed
around new accelerations/decelerations lanes, revisions to Stormwater management
plan as outlined in report, consider replacing the concrete block with face brick for
