**7:30P.M.Case #2019-019 — Walmart OGP Parking Space Improvements (3) — 8770 Dell Center Drive - Amended Site Plan
Russ Mitchell opened the public hearing; Rob Osterhoudt of Bohler Engineering presented the plan. The applicant would like to add 5 new parking spaces to the Grocery Pick-Up area on the west side of the building with a few minor changes to the last site plan. The cross walk is going from 5 ft. to 10 ft. wide. Add a pedestrian crosswalk. Remove the striping from the old spaces and will not stripe the new spaces.
Russ Mitchell asked if they will be putting a canopy over the new spaces. Mr. Osterhoudt said no. Russ Mitchell said that the signs shown on the plan were never approved with the “spark”. Those signs will have to be removed and the signs will only say Pick Up on them.

Russ Mitchell asked why the “No Trucks” sign is on the plan; if the directional signs are not part of the plan they should be removed. The revision dates need to be added to the plan.
Karen Guinup said on the drive aisles, has the width been changed at all, because the parking spaces do not look like they are 20 ft. There is a temporary sign on the side of the building.
Scott Soyster said he is not familiar with the process, why are you removing the striping. Mr. Osterhoudt said it is not needed.
Jim Palumbo said on page C-S5 there is a note: If the agency does not allow the “spark” on the signs there is an alternative sign.
As for the new parking spaces, can they be linier. ] am looking at this from a circulation standpoint, keeping in mind safety.
Russ Mitchell asked if there were any comments or questions, hearing none he asked for a motion.
A motion was made by Michelle Borton seconded by Hal Henty to adjourn this case to the
