A. Revised Sketch Plan for Target Greatland Expansion
Bodmer briefly described the proposal.
Jim Tucker, representing Target Greatland, explained that the original plan was to use basement space. Soil
tests indicated a high water table, so Tazget has come back with a taller, two-story addition without basement.
He went on to say there would be no opening onto 151st Street; the revised entrance is from Garrett Drive to
the loading dock.
Blundetto verified that Target has no intent to store trailers. Edgeton indicated the revisions to the plan seemed
in order.
Bodmer said that signage is still an issue. Tucker stated the proposed signage is slightly taller than what is
allowed as awning signs by the Code. Bodmer explained that the City might look at the signs above the doors
as awning signs.
There. was discussion about the appropriateness of signage on such a lazge building, signage for sepazate
entities, and what constitutes a sepazate entity. Although the proposed signage does not comply with the strict
interpretation of the sign code, the Planning Commission felt it was within the intent of the Code. Kelley said
that because the site is zoned a planned development, some language could be taflored to incorporate signage
such as what is proposed that is deemed appropriate to the scale of the building.
Hadley asked if taking spaces out for the coffee shop was part of the pazking space calculation. There was
general consensus that adequate parking is provided for the site, regardless of the calculations.
Burke asked if a screening wall would be placed on the side of the loading dock. Mike Buettner, Project
Architect with Target, said they plan to replicate the dock existing on the other side of the building, which
includes a retaining wall.
8. ADJOURNMENT
Churchill moved, seconded by Blundetto, to adjourn the meeting. Motion tamed 7-0. The meeting was
adjourned at 7:48 p.m.
