NEW BUSINESS 1. Design review of minor modifications to the Wal-Mart Garden Center. Applicant: Carlson Consulting Engineers, Inc. Land owner: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. TMK: 7-5- 004:043. Located at 75-1015 Henry Street, Kailua-Kona, HI. Staff Presentation Mr. Mark oriented the Commissioners of the subject and surrounding properties on a location map, and described the proposed modifications, which include installation of a polycarbonate roof over the existing Garden Center and expanding the area out onto the existing sidewalk area by 1,495 square feet, with a glazed canopy cover. He mentioned the applicant’s color scheme is consistent with the Kailua Village Special District guidelines, and the parking requirements are met even with the expansion. He added, however, the interior parking lot landscaping requirements do not appear to be met, and the Planning Department will investigate that during the Plan Approval process. Applicant Presentation The applicant’s representative, Andrew Maass, introduced himself, and stated that they are going to maintain the exact aesthetics that is currently there, that the polycarbonate screen will be hidden mostly behind the existing ornamental fence, that there will be no change to the current driveways and no parking space will be lost by this expansion. 1
