RE: oak Park Heights — Wal -Mart stores, Inc. — Amendment of
a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor Sales
FILE NO: 703.02 — 00.17
The Planning Commission, at their December 14, 2000 meeting, voted unanimously to
recommend an amendment to a conditional use permit to allow for expansion of the
outdoor sales and storage area at veal -Mart. The subject site is zoned CBD, central
Business District in which open and outdoor sales as an accessory use is a listed
conditional use. The expanded area, to the west of the building, will be used for storage
g
of items related to outdoor sales. Items stored will include semi - trailers that are needed
for inventory transporting, storage carts used for on -site inventory storage, and
cardboard boxes or crates for recycling at their store.
Representatives of Veal -Mart were present at the public hearing. Greg Frank of
)))McCombs, Frank, Roos and Associates expressed a concern about condition 3 in the
Planning Report related to combining Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 of Wal -Mart Addition. Mr.
Frank indicated that they would agree to the condition to allow the CUP to be approved,
but may look at a replat at some later date to change the lot line configuration.
Planning commission members expressed concern about the existing parking lot lights
not meeting the full cut off requirements of the Zoning ordinance. Additionally, they
expressed concern about the existing berm and landscaping to the south of the
storage /sales area as it relates to screening for the multi -story residential units in the
Boutwell's Landing development. The Planning commission recommended the
amendment to the conditional use permit with two additional conditions related to
lighting and landscaping:
The applicant shall enhance the landscape plan by planting a continuous band of
evergreen trees on top of the berm with deciduous trees planted slightly west of
the evergreen trees. The landscape plan shall be subject to review and approval
of the city Arborist.
2. The city Arborist shall review the existing landscaping on the southerly
berm and determine if adequate planting materials are present to provide
screening for the residential units in the Boutwell's Landing project. The
City Arborist shall approve any additional landscape plan required to
adequately screen the outdoor sales and storage area.
The plans as they relate to existing easements or utilities are subject to city
Engineer review and approval.
4. The applicant shall combine Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Wal -Mart Addition so that the
outdoor sales and the screening occur on the same property.
5. All lighting within the outdoor sales and storage area shall be reconfigured
to be compliant with section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning ordinance as it
relates to outdoor lighting. The applicant may consider but is not
required, to reconfigure all lighting within the 'al -Mart site to comply with
Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning ordinance.
6. Material being stored must be related to the regular business of Wal -Mart.
