members received, the different elevated rooftops, and suggested stay away from the mirror imaging. Ms. Wenger indicated that compared to the first rendering the drawings before the board now are very flat and lacks the three-dimensional feel which added playfulness. Mr. Renzi suggested that the next plans would not be two-dimensional they would be three- dimensional and the board will be able to see the depth of the recesses including the small plaza atop the retail centers. Mrs. Nader indicated that the board wants to see complete elevation plans so they can see what each side of the buildings will look like. Target Architect presentation: Mr. Gilmore briefly reviewed the two entrances to tlie target area. The only entrance to the store will be located at the northwest corner of the building. He briefly reviewed where each of the areas would be located inside the building. They will try to match the same massing as the three outer buildings as well. There will be a tower at each end of the building, the facades are tapered to break the building up. The colors that will be used which match the other buildings. They will have awnings to match the outer buildings. The farade that fronts the site will have display windows. The dark colors on the rendering will be red brick and the lighter colors will be an E.F.I. S. system. The working areas were described for the target building. He suggested that the nekt time they return they would have complete plans. The back of the building will have an enclosed dock area. Landscaping will be throughout the site year round. Mr. Crook questioned if the display windows suggested would have rotating displays. Mr. Gilmore suggested that the display window will house their ad that changes yearly. He suggested that the next meeting they would have pictures showing the poster display window. Mr. crook questioned how the delivery trucks would make their deliveries. Mr. Berryhill suggested that the delivery trucks would enter the center drive and proceed to circle around the back of Target, until reaching the dock where they, will back into the bay. Mr. Zergott questioned if there would be berms at the northeast and southeast corners. He questioned what the height of the mounds and fences were as the plans show different heights than what are being suggested. Mr. Berryhill suggested that the plans were a typo they will be 8-foot mounds with 8-foot fences. The plans that will be submitted to the Planning Commission will reflect that. The fence "will be either board on board or vinyl. Mr. Zergott requested vinyl fencing be used. Mr. Crook questioned the elevations of the roof. Mr. Gilmore indicated that parapets would screen all the rooftop units. Mr. Crook questioned the pedestrian pathways. Mr. Berryhill suggested that they were studying the pathways but thought of a series of crosswalks to tie everything together. Even having old fashioned street signs, clocks, with metal basis and light poles with banners on them. The sidewalks will either be paviors or brick stamped concrete that will have a cobblestone look. Mr. Zergott indicated that he preferred paviors because they hold up better to weather. Mr. Serryhill commented that with a development of this caliber quality materials will be used as they never cell off their developments, they keep them forever. Mr. Zergott reiterated that he preferred brick paviors. Mr. Crook suggested that some of the front paths should also be added to the north sides of buildings "D" &"C". The north sides of buildings "B", "C", &"D" needs to have.more elements that are shown on the south side matched along the north. Ms. Wenger voiced that pedestrians will take the least path of resistance, which would be right through the middle of the parking lot not the sidewalks. For target to be on this site it will require a massive variance because it is a big-box store. It is her belief that the reason for the big-box ordinance was to protect areas esthetically from massive box type stores. The first drawing camouflaged tlie massiveness of the proposed store with breaking up the store fronts using 3D elements. Each of the plans currently being presented strays from the preliminary plan and the current Target store shown strays even further in this rendering Target looks more like a big-box store now than what was preliminarily approved. Elements need to be added to all sides of the Target store. The current renderings strayed further from what was preliminarily 4
