Planning & Zoning Board <br />May 9, 2001 <br />Page 25 <br />• Target or to go to the bank and she does not necessarily want it located 20 feet from her <br />house. <br />• <br />Mr. Palmquist suggested the development agreement contain conditions to limit hours of <br />delivery, trucks idling, etc. <br />John Payton, representing Target Stores, reviewed the processes they will follow that <br />monitors air quality and noise levels, and which will also determine the existing noise <br />level. He explained the new whisper grocery refrigeration units are much more quiet. <br />Mr. Payton stated they are looking at the MPCA acceptable noise thresholds and that will <br />be addressed in the ISP that is incorporated into the EAW. <br />Kathy Hansmann, 7601 Lake Drive, stated she owns a business and appreciates the time <br />involved in this process. She stated she is not against bringing a Target or Kohl's into <br />this location but believes a lot of the details are not being obtained which she was <br />required to answer for her business.

She asked what the rush is and if a <br />large conglomerate should be allowed to come in and say when and how. <br />Chair Schaps stated the petition is considered and has an impact but there are always two <br />or three sides to every story. He noted there are many young families in Lino Lakes who <br />may have a different opinion about driving eight or nine miles to a Target and may favor <br />locating one in Lino Lakes. He noted there are a lot of good corporate neighbors in <br />Minnesota and Target Corporation is one of the best in what they bring to a community <br />and give back to a community. He stated this has been reviewed for months and not <br />
