Walmart

Request for Minor Building Appearance Approval to Permit Modifications to Exterior Building Facade

Ms. Lea Smith, Dallas, TX was present.

Ms. Smith explained they were requesting to update the exterior elevations of the Walmart in Wheeling. They are updating the gray and blue colors as needed to follow their rebranding. They will update their signage, but the signs are not part of this approval.

Commissioner Riles had no questions. He likes the rebranding.

Commissioner Kasper had no questions.

Commissioner Sprague asked if they were planning to repaint the bollards. Ms. Smith confirmed they would get new sleeves. He noticed some of the existing gray paint had been scraped off and the old blue was showing. Ms. Smith confirmed the new gray sleeves will prevent the paint from chipping.

Commissioner Smart had no questions.

Commissioner Hyken asked about the painting process. He expressed concern if they were spray painting, he didn’t want there to be overspray on the cars. Ms. Smith mentioned they rolled it on in past projects since they don’t close the stores during the painting process, and they don’t want any chemicals exposed.

Chairman Johnson had no questions.

Commissioner Hyken moved, seconded by Commissioner Kasper to approve Docket No. PSPMIN24-0007, granting building appearance approval, as required under Title 19, Zoning, of the Wheeling Municipal Code and Chapter 19-12, to permit modifications to the exterior building façade for Walmart, located at 1455 Lake Cook Road, in accordance with the Project Description Letter prepared by Jay Skock, dated February 22, 2024 and the Exterior Elevations prepared by Core States Group, dated 1/15/2024.
