The plan proposes a drainage and utility easement over the segments of pipe through which this public stormwater is conveyed. As indicated earlier, Target is proposing to do so in exchange for an equivalent reduction in the stormwater fees that would normally be assessed to this development. Natural Gas It is not anticipated that natural gas service will be required to serve this building. Diesel Gas/Emergency Power The project proposes to install two 40,000 gallon underground fuel tanks to store diesel fuel that will be used to operate the emergency power generators. Target and Ryan Companies will design the tanks in full compliance with all MPCA and EP A requirements, and keep updated maintenance records for the tanks. Detailed drawings will be submitted with the building permit plans. Telephone/Fiber Optics Target construction personnel have been coordinating telephone and fiber optic service with local providers. They are convinced that they will be able to receive service capacity that will be required to serve this facility. Locations of these services will be added to the construction plans. Landscape Design The proposed site landscaping meets the City Ordinance requirements, and includes a variety of species including 51 deciduous trees of seven different species, 31 ornamental trees of four species, 38 coniferous trees of three species, and 54 shrubs of five species. Landscaping is well-dispersed across the west portion of the site, specifically concentrating tree masses along berms and near the intersections of Waco Street and 182nd, as well as Waco Street and County Road 30. Ornamental trees and shrubs are also grouped near the building entrance. Turf seed will be used in the yard areas outside the limits of the bituminous, and sod will generally be used within the paved areas. The Landscape Plan will meet or exceed all ordinance requirements. Architectural Design Typical of this project type, this buildings footprint and required volumes result in large building masses. As a result, the building facades have been designed to reduce the overall appearance of the structures mass, increase visual interest and the ultimate goal of integrating the building into the surrounding area thru design.
