#PL-24-16 Request of Wal Mart Real Estate Business Trust, owner & applicant for a Site
Plan /Special Permit approval for an expansion at 155 Waterford Parkway North, C-R zone,
in accordance with Sections 9.1.2, 22 & 23 of the Zoning Regulations and as shown on plans
entitled "Proposed Site Plan Documents for Walmart Store #0233-1000 proposed Pick Up
and Signage/Striping Improvements and Building Expansion"
Greg Dibona of Bohler Engineering representing the applicant presented the building
expansion and parking lot modifications to the Board. The purpose of the addition is to
accommodate a more efficient operation of the online ordering and purchasing option. He
stated that it was determined there is not sufficient space within the building to provide for
this service, therefore the 3,800 square foot addition is proposed.
He reviewed the modified site plan with the Board identifying changes to the parking layout
to accommodate the online pickup operation and upgrade the existing striping and pavement.
M. Elbaum asked if there would be any accessible parking spaces added as a result of this
project. G. Dibona stated that there are twenty-four existing accessible spaces located directly
in front of each of the entrances to the building and that these spaces will remain as is. There
will not be additional spaces added for the addition. The purpose of the parking stalls for the
addition are for online pick up where the customers will remain in the vehicle while
employees of Wal-Mart bring out the purchased merchandise to them
There being no other questions from the Board.
