Mr. Anderson commented that the truck would fully fit within and would not cross over the painted <br />marks. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked the timing of deliveries. <br />Mr. Anderson replied that typically deliveries are timed to occur prior to the opening of the store <br />but a truck could come during business hours. <br />Chairperson Gengler commented that she likes the Brooklyn Park design with the awnings and <br />tower. She stated that while she does like murals, she was unsure this would be the best fit. <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that something should be done to the east side if the building <br />is not rotated. He commented that the fake windows would be sufficient. <br />Commissioner Heineman commented that he does not like awnings and looks strange when done <br />for show. He agreed that it could break up the area but preferred the original concept with greenery <br />to break up the east side. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated that he understands the concerns of Commissioner Anderson and his <br />preference to rotate the building but noted that would kick the can down the road when an <br />additional building is added. He stated that he prefers the location as proposed. He asked if <br />something could be done on the loading dock side, similar to what is proposed for the east, to break <br />up that appearance. <br />Mr. Anderson commented that he thinks they could work something up. He stated that they had <br />not considered the south side prior to tonight and is something they could add to. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that the Aldi locations they found with awnings had slanted <br />awnings whereas other businesses on Sunwood have more straight-out awnings, which could better <br />fit. He stated that one of the staff comments was that a sign added to that comer could break that <br />side up and direct traffic. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy commented that he does not see the feasibility in adding another door <br />and would agree that the east side should have something to break up that facade through <br />architecture. <br />Commissioner Hunt agreed that greenery and fake windows could help to break up the facade. <br />8. COMMISSION / STAFF INPUT <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if staff received input from legal counsel on the topic of conditional <br />use permits. <br />Planning Manager Larson noted that legal counsel will attend the public hearing to answer that <br />question and any others that may arise. <br />Planning Commission/ May 25, 2023 <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
