All onsite landscaping and special amenities (pavers, etc.) are to be maintained by the property owner. . As a part of the West End Center's Developer's Agreement, the West End Center developer will be required to provide a sidewalk easement to the City to ensure compliance with the attached Agreement and to ensure that the plaza area will be a public space.
