determine the size of the ponds. The maps presented showed them at the maximum possible size, but in all probability <br />they would shrink. Target representatives were preparing to submit the plan to the City by January 15t. <br />Mr. Palmquist stated that they were working with staff on the site design and architecture using prototypes on the <br />elevations of the Target site. Describing the site, they were planning some articulations, bench plaza areas, and various <br />plantings in front of the store. There are also planned bays in 20 -foot increments. The whole project would be of similar <br />colors and materials. He continued there would be two doors, with the employee entrance in the center. As is typical, the <br />eastern part would be the grocery, while the western part would hold the discount store. There are plans to screen the <br />truck docking, and to bury the utility lines so that more plantings could be located there. He assured the Board that they <br />would have the elevations available next time. <br />Trehus indicated the land in the southern entryway that the City owns was mentioned last time, and inquired what were the <br />plans for the property adjacent to it. Mr. Palmquist answered that there would be no grading in the area, and there were <br />plans for a retaining wall to protect the trees. The specifics would be answered when the tree survey is overlaid with the <br />aerial photograph. <br />Trehus pointed out that it looked like a lot of parking and no trees, and suggested that a shift to the west may enable them <br />to make it appear more nestled among the trees. Mr. Payton stated that the building was pushed as far to the west as <br />possible within the required parameters because of site geometry problems. <br />Mr. Palmquist note that there were stall groupings of 68, 644, and 910 parking spaces, and indicated that the users could <br />share parking. <br />Donlin mentioned that it did not appear aesthetic, and advised that vegetation, billboards, signage, and lighting would <br />need to be addressed more specifically. Mr. Palmquist responded that there were no billboard requirements, and the <br />lighting would be explained further in the plan. <br />Donlin inquired about the role the Environmental Board would play. Mr. Payton answered that they wanted to know their <br />recommendations. <br />Wessel added that the proposal will be available at the January 31, 2001 meeting, and assured the Board that there were <br />several open issues remaining. <br />Donlin commented that it appeared the typical standards that Target was used to implementing were played out in this <br />plan concerning lighting and signage. Mr. Palmquist answered that there were many parties' interests to balance, that of <br />the City, the community, the developer, and Target which can be met to provide goods and services and civic pride. <br />Mach advised that environmentally speaking specific recommendations include: <br />• Increase the number of native trees in groupings not standing alone and decrease the number of parking places. <br />• Smaller form of Target, not Superstore. <br />• Location not so near the highway. <br />• Ponds should be fruitful; the water levels need to be controlled so that they could sustain diverse life. <br />• The City needed to set land aside designated as open space for every development approved. <br />Mr. Payton asked if this project would be used merely to change zoning, ordinances, and laws. <br />Trehus assured him that Target would be welcome in the community, then inquired about the percentage of impervious <br />surfaces. <br />Mr. Payton stated that if a Target would be on site it would be a Superstore, because that is the primary means of <br />expansion. Other regional locations would be Rochester, MN, Rogers, MN, Lakeville, MN, and Eau Claire, WI. The <br />reason given was economic, because it increased the store's bottom line by 50 %. <br />Mr. Palmquist stated that at the neighborhood meeting, 135 to 140 invitations were sent out with 36 residents in <br />17apxa_ &_Pexpeanov_Boap5 Xtri oq Aivo Aaxe6 <br />
