Target Site Renovation Plans - Sketch Plan Review Chair Mulder opened the discussion and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary of the staff report dated November 5, 2003. Forrest Russell, Target and Richard Wiebe, Westwood Engineering - for Target explained the details of the project. The existing store is 41 years old and 121,000 s.t.; the new store will be 174,000 s.t. and include merchandise and a grocery store. Target has purchased the old State Farm underwriters building at 2194 County Road B for the expansion. The new store would be built between State Farm Road and Pascal Street, directly east of the existing store. The existing store would remain open until the new store is complete, and then be demolished. Currently Target is working on traffic and surface water management issues. Both State Farm Road and portions of Commerce Street, as well as portions of Snelling Frontage Road would be vacated in this proposal. Chair Mulder asked if the owners of the parcels at the southwest corner of the site had been contacted. (Target is in the process of contacting them now.) How many more customers are expected at the new site? Russell explained that the busiest day would have 40% more customers and 2,500 additional trips (5,000 trips - a trip is "in" or "out" of a Super Target site). How will Target use Commerce Street more effectively? Portions of Commerce Street would be vacated and turned into private parking and driveway lanes, west of Pascal.
