The building materials selected to achieve this goal include the use of pre-cast wall panels (of varying textures, hues, reveals and relief), brick veneer wall panels, clear anodized metal panels, canopies and storefront window systems. Thru the careful composition of the buildings facades, this building has been designed to be aesthetically pleasing with the goal of integration into the fabric of the surrounding areas. Off-Site Improvements The City staff has indicated that they will be looking to this development to finance their portion of the construction cost to extend the improvements to Waco Street from the south end of the existing urban section down to County Road 30. It is also likely that the City would install sewer and water with this improvement. Target Corporation will benefit from the water main extension as it will provide a vital segment of the fire loop. However, the City will have to evaluate whether or not sanitary sewer needs to be extended with this project, since the Target site can be served by the existing sanitary sewer line that runs along the north boundary of the site. City staff also indicated that they would prefer to have 182nd Street extended into the Elk Path Business Park north of the Target site, and to have Target take their access from 182nd as opposed to coming directly off of Waco with a private driveway. Target will petition to have the Waco Street and 182nd Street roadway improvement project implemented simultaneously with their project so that the utilities and roadways will be in-place for the Technology Center project as it is completed. Target may elect to waive the public assessment hearing if the price of the project is reasonable. They would then expect to pay their portion of the cost of the road through Chapter 429 assessment. Schedule Maintaining the following schedule is critical to the viability of this project. In order for Target to have this facility operational in time to accept the forecasted capacity, Target must close on the property and begin construction in fall of 2005. A complete preconstruction schedule is presented on the following page. Construction activities will take approximately 20 months to complete. The building will begin drawing electric power for commissioning in fall of 2006, and be fully operational by fall of 2007.
