<br />A drainage and utility easement will be proposed over anyon-site pond and over the portion of <br />the storm sewer that conveys storm water through the site from the public right-of-way in Waco <br />Street and adjoining areas. <br /> <br />Final Plat <br />The proposed final plat application memorializes the preliminary plat in a recordable document. <br />This document will be filed with Sherburne County upon approval. <br /> <br />Subsection G. <br /> <br />Operations <br /> <br />The primary purpose of the Technology Center is to store and operate computers and keep <br />these computers linked to situs. The site will include data storage computer, a reception area, <br />maintenance area, potential break rooms, rooms dedicated to control panels, generators, and <br />rooms with electrical equipment to assure power loads are consistent. The need for a loading <br />dock, water cooling tower or other necessary support services to the technology center have not <br />yet been determined. <br /> <br />The following is an example of the recent Target Technology center and a description of <br />their operations. It is anticipated that similar needs would be generated with a second <br />technology center: <br /> <br />"Municipal water comes into the building and is routed through a series of <br />cooling pipes through the computer area to prevent overheating. Water is treated <br />and run through the cooling towers and re-circulated until it is eventually blown <br />off into the sanitary sewer system. <br />In addition to the constant flow, there is an emergency water tank that is located <br />outside the building. This is the large cylindrical tank that stands next to the six <br />cooling towers. This tank maintains an on-site backup supply of water that could <br />be used to feed the cooling system while the municipal connection is restored. <br />The electrical power to be computers is generally drawn from the municipal <br />system, but periodically the Technology Center runs off of the generators for a <br />short period of time. This is done to constantly assure that the generators are <br />ready to run when they are called upon. The facility is high security and accepts <br />no visitors unless they are cleared through the corporate Target office, and <br />identification is provided. <br /> <br />Subsection H. <br /> <br />Site Design <br /> <br />Due to the critical nature of the equipment that is typically housed in a technology center, it is <br />anticipated that attention is taken to maximize security and minimize the threat from natural <br />disasters. This may include use of berms, walls, tree lines and building design to minimize the <br />visual impact of the building. <br /> <br />4 <br />
