Mr. McKay voiced that he was not concerned with the pharmacy sign, but was adarniantly against the target logo as it would shine directly into the front of the abutting condos. The logo would be an eye sore to have to look at every time a resident looks out their front window. The condos have been there for some 30 years now and any sign on the south side of the building would be a direct eyesore and hindrance to the abutting residents. He requested the board say no to the logo sign as it would be detrimental to the residents. Mrs. D'aver indicated that the Target Company requested the location of their entrance sign themselves and it could.haWe been located in the middle of the building so if their sign is not seen it is because they chose to place it were it would not be seen. She requested the board require a11 signs be turned off when the store closes in their motion. She agreed with Mr. McKay and believed that although the applicants have put a11ot of money into the site the city also made quite a few sacrifices for the applicants as well. Mr. Kalina did not think the target bulls-eye would be a nuisance to the condo owners and assured the board that all signs would be turned off wit.hun a half hour of the store closing. He handed out a plan which showed the placement of the bulls-eye and suggested the picture and placement of the logo were disclosed during the approval process of the buildings. Mrs. Sergi questioned the hours of operation. Mr. Schiely advised that hours of operation wouid be 8:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Saturday and Sunda.y 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. Mr. Kruse, with Target came forward to be sworn in and address the board. Mr. Kruse confirmed the hours of operations and indicated that Mr. Schiely was correct that the store signs are not on all night, only during working hours as will be the same for site lighting as well. However there would be staff in the building all night as all shelve stocking. is done throughout the night. After the board deliberated Mrs. Sergi asked if the applicants wanted their sign requests addressed as a package or broken out individually. Mr. Kalina indicated that they would prefer the signs broken out. N.
