WAL- MART PROPOSAL cont.
It was commented that a majority of the property the building will sit on is wet lands and the questions
were asked on how the property will be improved regarding the creek, how the drainage into the
parking lot will be addressed, and how storm water control will be handled.
Lucas Anthony, civil engineer with Kimley-Horn, replied their initial plan is to reroute the stream behind
the building and they will be working with the Department of Environmental Protection to that
Iff"" get
approved. He said regarding how the stormwater for the site will be handled, they are contemplating an
underground system, either a system or vaults or chambers that hold the water and let it out slowly over
time, and it will be built under the parking lot, and it will connect to any drainage system that is there
now that the streams flows to. He further stated system
they have they will be required to have a
system to collect items that 10at and they are required to treat a certain volume of stormwater that is
produced on site, and they will follow all applicable regulations from both the City and the Department
of Environmental Protection.
In response to a question on the twe of annual volume in revenue anticipated to be
produced at the
store, Mr. Gabriel stated he did not have that information in front of him but was sure a
demographic
study was done at some point to dictate it would be an appropriate site. He mentioned anyone
interested can go to the II\€
