City Council Regular Meeting — 03/28/05 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 16 <br />pedestrian access enhancements and connectivity; <br />elevations of the new Super Target; relocation of Perkins <br />Restaurant; and maintenance concerns. <br />Councilmember Ihlan expressed her concern with the cost <br />allocation for road reconstruction, opining that Target <br />should be responsible for all costs given the City's <br />vacation of State Farm Road for their convenience, and <br />that negotiations should continue to achieve those desired <br />results. Councilmember Ihlan expressed further concern <br />that the City Council had not seen the new elevations and <br />redesign of the Target parcel, and questioned why the City <br />Council had not been able to provide input to-date. <br />Councilmember Ihlan noted the numerous public concerns <br />and comments she had received regarding the building's <br />aesthetics and lack of public information at the Planning <br />Commission or City Council level for final design <br />considerations. <br />Acting Mayor Maschka expressed his personal concerns <br />regarding the "Great Wall of Target;" noting the need for a <br />future policy-level discussion on redevelopment <br />management. <br />Councilmember Schroeder noted that the City Council did <br />have some input earlier on elevations, and requested that <br />Target break up the mass of the building, with Target <br />indicating they would do so. <br />Public Works Director Duane Schwartz noted that Target <br />would be adding a number of treatments to improve the <br />aesthetics of the elevations; and that the building was far <br />from complete. <br />Ms. Bloom noted that the elevations and plans were <br />available at City Hall in the Community Development <br />Department; and tonight's requested action remained open <br />for infrastructure improvements for inclusion in the <br />development contract language. <br />Further discussion included sidewalk location <br />
