ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page# 2 Wednesday, March 2, 1988 Russell replied that they will not know exactly which trees will have to be removed until the project is staked in the field. He indicated that they would like to save as many trees as possible, and would replace trees which are removed if the city and county wish them to do so. Goedeke suggested that the truck bays facing County Road B presented aesthetic problems, and felt that the existing location was better. Anderson responded that they had considered leaving the truck bays on the north side, but because of the layout of the building (wall and ,,/iring locations) and a necessity to maintain a main entrance in its existing location, that they could not leave the truck bays at their existing location. Goedeke inquired if trucks would be parked at the docks all day. Anderson replied that trucks would be there most of the day. Goedeke questioned whether trucks could adequately get in and out of the loading bays. Russell responded that they had studied it and that trucks could properly access the loading area. Russell pointed out that they screen wall landscape islands would screen the dock area, and that additional landscaping was also possible. Goedeke asked to where the trash bins would be located, and what kind of screening would be provided. Russell replied that there would be a single compactor unit located in the truck dock area. There would be a closed metal container which would be visible, but that there would be no outside openings to allow trash to blowout. Berry asked what entrance changes would be made on commerce. Russell answered that the existing entrance on Commerce would be maintained. Berry pointed out that standing water in the parking lot is a serious problem. Anderson replied that there were no funds available to address the problem at this time. Stokes questioned if the rooftop mechanical units would be screened. Anderson answered that the equipment would be painted, but not screened. Nancy Reiter, 3106 Victoria Street North informed the commission that she felt that the conditions at the Target Store were despicable, that standing water in the parking lot was a problem, that shelves were typically empty, and that there was a need for automatic doors. Anderson stated that the improvements would result in better conditions. Donn Wiski, 2714 Westwood Village, pointed out the concerns concerning push carts being outside, standing truck bodies, and parking lot lighting.
