Attorney Motley summarized Wal -Mart's requests in this <br />rezoning, and urged the Board to: <br />1) Not prohibit the temporary use permits. <br />2) Not require the extension of the 8 -ft. wall. <br />3) Not attribute all the increased traffic on 53rd Avenue to <br />Wal-Mart, thereby making Wal-Mart responsible for <br />all traffic calming improvements. <br />Attorney Motley stated that the $10, 000 figure for any traffic <br />calming improvements to 53rd Avenue in the future was just proposed <br />to Wal-Mart this morning. She emphasized that a way must be found <br />to arrive at a percentage of the cost of improvements that are <br />directly attributable to Wal-Mart. They feel it is unfair for Wal- <br />Mart to pay for all the costs since all trips will not be generated <br />by Wal-Mart. Surely, traffic will be cutting through 53rd Avenue <br />to reach other commercial establishments along that strip on SR -60. <br />Ideally, the right way to handle this is the way the County's <br />Traffic Engineer discussed after the P & Z Commission meeting. <br />Wal-Mart would do the monitoring directly before the signal is <br />installed and for two years after and then let the Cqunty worry <br />about how to deal with that situation, because it is not easy to <br />get residents to agree on any kind of a proposal. <br />In conclusion, Attorney Motley reiterated Wal -Mart's desire <br />that #1, #6 and #7 be omitted from the conditions of the rezoning. <br />Commissioner Eggert stated she would agree about the extension <br />of the wall except for the fact that the site's access road goes <br />back around the store. She felt it is reasonable to require that <br />the wall be extended. <br />Gary -Wallace, P.E. of Kimley-Horn and Associates, explained <br />that Wal-Mart has storage trailers back there for lay -away <br />purchases and those trailers require a temporary use permit. <br />Director Boling advised that temporary use permits are not <br />required for the storage trailers because that is not a sales <br />event. <br />Chairman Adams asked if Sam's will be built and when, and Mr. <br />Wallace stated that no one here today could say unequivocally, but <br />they are working on the plans for Sam's and it is their earnest <br />desire to open the Sam's store in the first quarter of 1998. <br />Attorney Motley again stressed that the decision was made that <br />the superstore would be built first. <br />55 <br />OCTOBER 1, 1996 <br />BOOK 99 PAU <br />I <br />
