Elk Park Center, CU 94-24 Page 2 June 28, 1994 • anchors for the entire project, the site plan has to be adjusted and plans reconfigured to balance the tenant spaces throughout the project. PROPOSED CHANGES • Relocating the entrance drive off of Jackson Road further north approximately 500 feet. This new entrance would become more centralized to the development and provide a more evenly distributed access point. • The elimination of the retail stores on the south end of the project to be replaced with additional parking to serve the Super Target. • The landscaped area along the south end of the project has been reduced approximately 10-15 feet to allow for the additional parking to serve the Super Target. • Square footage of the balance of the project beyond the Super Target store has been adjusted creating a mid-sized anchor at the north end of the facility. ACCESS TO THE SITE • Staff has requested the developer redesign the southern most access point into the shopping center to allow for vehicles to enter the site conveniently with the least amount of confusion. Redesigning this access point will also provide more opportunity for vehicles stacking and waiting to leave the center onto Freeport Avenue. This point of entrance is of concern because staff believes that the majority of vehicles will be turning in at this point as it provides the first access point to the proposed Super Target. SUMMARY Overall, the total square footage is not necessarily changing. The original tenants as proposed, are being shifted around to accommodate Target's desire to construct this new store. If fact, this store is such a fresh idea from Target that the construction plans have not been prepared yet. Therefore, building elevations have not been submitted to staff for any review, however, it has been indicated by the architect that Target is considering a front elevation similar to a Target Greatland, but will be slightly larger as a result of the increased square footage of the store. The architects have also indicated that they plan on having some renderings available for the Planning Commission at Tuesday night's meeting. • epccup.pc
