gave overview of the types of weather resistant materials they will be using for the
exterior modifications to the Target building as well as an explanation on the building
signage modifications.
Chair Black opened the public hearing at 7:08 PM.
Commissioner Thompson was concerned about the location of the "Order Pickup" as he
was thinking this was in a no parking, fire lane area. Clarification was that this "Order
Pickup" area would be separate parking stalls similar to the handicap parking stalls in the
parking lot, closer to the building, but not at the curb.
Commissioner Offerman was concerned whether approving these materials would be
opening it up for other commercial building to think they would be allowed to use
residential products. Associate Planner Stockman assured Commissioner Offerman that
this would not happen, if it is considered a masonry material, there is no concern.
There was no comment from the public.
Chair Black closed the public hearing at 7:16 PM.
Commissioner Offerman motioned to approve a PUD Development State Plan
amendment subject to the two conditions listed in the planning report.
Seconded by Commissioner Nichols. All in favor. Motion carried.
