Council Minutes of 9/28/2005 that same fund as well. It was felt that, given the close estimate of costs of both building the new station and the cost of this particulaz piece of equipment, it would be best to hold off the purchase of this equipment at this time. The committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council to table Resolution 2005-139 with the understanding that this will come back at a more appropriate time. Another issue that needed to be resolved was this piece of equipment will replace an existing piece of equipment at Fire Station 1, and funds for Fire Station 2 cannot be used in that way. The Fire Dept. needs to reassess and reassign their equipment so, if this is to go through, it would be appropriate to spend those funds from that levy fund in its entirety. This is on the agenda tonight to be tabled. 2) This evening, September 20, 2005, the Safety Committee met, and all members were present. A request for a C1, C2 liquor license was requested by Tazget, 24646 Brookpazk Road, which is carryout of beer, wine and various other prepackaged spirituous liquors. There was a brief discussion as to the concept of selling alcohol out of the Target store, that it was perhaps something Council had not anticipated.

Three lazge azeas of glass will be added to the fagade with the center glass portion taller to accentuate the entry. The split-face block currently on the building will be replaced with a brick and EIFS finished. The city boards/commissions had requested that the applicant consider a design scenario in which the block could possibly be preserved. However, they concluded the design of the block and EIFS version was superior to the original block version as it appears. in particular, there was an objection raised with respect to painting the block and it was felt that additional block installed from the ground to a height that would surpass the height of the side man doors enhanced the proposal in general. The applicant made other design changes at the request of the boards/commissions, including selecting a more contrasting color of brick and painting two store front exit doors to match the brick. On the site, they also added soft accent lighting to the vertical brick piers and added irrigated planter areas to the front of the building as well as bike racks. Regazding other site improvements planned in conjunction with the proposal, the land owners indicated that significant improvements to the entire plaza will be proposed in the coming months. The committee felt this was extremely important. This particulaz plaza, located on the west side of Great Northern Blvd., is kirni of dated and hasn't been brought up-to-date in quite some time.
