PlanningBoard | 2012-02-27 | 9 | Vice President Autorino asked why there aren't more windows on the building since you want to mirror the buildings in the development. President Ezzy Ashcraft stated that the front elevation and length of the building is 495' feet long. In the City of Alameda, many of the commercial blocks are not that long. So, she echoes Board member Autorino's sentiments. Mr. Dewes replied that the store plan design is based no a fixurization plan so it's not comparable to an office building where you can have glass around the building. So, if you include windows on the Target store, they would look into a stock room or behind a fixture. President Ezzy Ashcraft replied is it possible to do more of a treatment that you have on the left west elevation where you have the display windows. Mr. Dewes replied that is doable, but the building's plan is to use windows to break up the building's mass throughout. Mr. Albaugh referred to the sidewalk plan illustration and the overall design of the building. He said the sidewalk will offset the building and will mimic breaking the building down so pedestrians are passing a variety of elements.
