Vadnais Heights City Council <br />Walmart Building Addition — 15 October 2010 <br />Page 15 <br />Pedestrian -Scale Lighting <br />There would be decorative pedestrian -scale lights (16+/- feet tall) <br />installed in the sidewalk along the front (eastern side) of the store <br />E, along the southwestern access drive and potentially along <br />County Road E. The fixture is the Sternberg Gallery model shown <br />here. <br />I and City staff are concerned that there may be an aesthetic <br />conflict between the Walmart pedestrian lights and the present or <br />future public lights (whether overhead or pedestrian) along County <br />Road E. Therefore, the City will determine by January 20, 2011, <br />which street light is preferred and then Walmart can install those <br />lights next summer with their project. <br />Drainage <br />An infiltration basin will be installed in the southwestern corner of <br />the site to reduce and filter some of the runoff. The City Engineer <br />has additional comments on drainage. <br />Signs <br />The freeway pylon sign would have its panels replaced but there would be no other changes <br />in the dimensions of the sign. <br />There may be a small wall sign on the eastern facade for a potential future tenant such as a <br />bank, hair stylist or restaurant. <br />The building architect should show us all signs proposed for the site including freestanding, <br />wall and traffic signs. (In particular, the signage over the pharmacy drive -through should be <br />more subdued than what was used on the Bloomington Walmart (see the photo on page 4). <br />Security Cameras <br />Security cameras shall be installed to view the parking lot and other exterior portions of the <br />site. If desired, the Ramsey County Crime Prevention Officer can provide further advice on <br />this subject. <br />3824 Huntington Avenue St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55416 <br />952.451.4818 bill@weberplanning.com <br />
