A decision on Moon Township's latest commercial complex will wait until June.

Township supervisors need more time to evaluate Wal-Mart's preliminary plan after viewing it for the first time last Wednesday, said Tim McLaughlin, supervisor chairperson.

"We are going to wait. We will give them a full vote at our June 4 meeting and a final answer by June 18," McLaughlin said,

"(It was) a lot for us to digest in one night. I wish (they) would have come (to the workshop) last week. I'd like to have the best one (they) can bring us. I don't want it to be just another Wal-Mart building."

A total of seven Wal-Mart representatives presented their extensive plan to construct a 148,561-square foot, white and tan retail and grocery store on 22 acres where the West Hills Shopping Center now stands.

The world's largest retailer plans to include optical and photo centers, a garden area and unnamed fast food purveyor in the complex along University Boulevard and Brodhead Road.

Details on possible construction and opening dates and employee numbers still are unknown.

Beyond the Wal-Mart building, the plan lists four parcels where tenants could include multiple restaurants -- fast food and sit-down -- banks and other stores. The lots sit adjacent to a small park with pedestrian access, benches and flowers.

"University Boulevard is an important boulevard waiting to be enhanced," said Robert Klemple of Tulsa, Okla.-based Scott and Globe Architects.

Klemple's firm creates most of the more than 50 Wal-Mart store designs found worldwide and the concrete building with red and white accents presented was thought to be the most conducive to Moon, said Alan Sable, Wal-Mart's attorney.

"We have attempted to bring you a far from prototypical Wal-Mart."

Township supervisors disagreed as they voiced concerns about multiple issues, but primarily about construction materials and traffic concerns.

A traffic study provided by Wal-Mart shows the best way to control traffic flow and prevent clogging around the site and on adjacent roadways is to offer University Boulevard and Brodhead Road entryways.

A new traffic light a few feet from West Hills Nissan's entrance will include turning lanes from both directions and direct patrons down another road to the store.

Another new light and a turning lane will control vehicles at West Hills Drive, where a roundabout will circulate traffic to Colony West Apartments and the four parcels slated for future development.

Both state roadways will be widened to complete the improvements.

Supervisor Marvin Eicher questioned the numbers used in the October, 2005 traffic study and whether Wal-Mart's findings were best.

"As the average citizen, I hear it. But I can't comprehend it. You can talk about traffic counts and turning lanes all you want, but I know what is there now," Eicher said.

"My question is, how much traffic is going to be there with Wal-Mart?

"I believe what you did could detrimentally impact this township. You started with a bogus number and you picked numbers that benefited Wal-Mart."

How many people Wal-Mart hopes to draw from a set geographical range is vital information, said McLaughlin. Wal-Mart claimed they did not have that data.

"It frustrates me, because I know what is going to happen to us. We are going to be inundated with traffic," McLaughlin said.

"It's going to be so much traffic, I don't see that it's going to be a plus for the community."

The building's appearance also was a concern for Eicher.

It would be built from smooth-faced concrete blocks, which Eicher said he doubted would conform to the University Boulevard Overlay District mandates.

"We want it to be something attractive. An attractive exterior in this case would be brick. I believe there is a big question as to material."

That extra cost could be an issue for Wal-Mart, as the corporation already plans to spend $1 to $2 million over other locations, said Sable. In 2007, the company listed sales profits over $375.5 billion dollars.

"Wal-Mart is stepping up and addressing issues some people aren't willing or able to do."

Skirting Moon's ordinance and approving the eight conditional uses Wal-Mart seeks could be issues for supervisors, said McLaughlin.

"I'm not going to give them whatever they want. They are going to have to work with us."

Wal-Mart operates more than 6,800 stores worldwide, employs 1.9 million employees and welcomes 180 million shoppers each week.
