RESOLUTION APPROVING DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT FOR
WAL-MART'S SUBDIVISION, 1ST ADDITION,
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS,the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat for the Wal-Mart Subdivision on
April 25, 2006; and,
WHEREAS, since that date,City staff has been working with representatives from Wal-Mart
to facilitate the construction of a new store along South Duff, south of Southeast 5t' Street; and,
WHEREAS, Wal-Mart will be requesting the Council's approval of a Final Plat to allow
construction to proceed, however, before an approval of a subdivision plat can be granted, Ames
Municipal Code requires that an agreement be finalized outlining responsibilities for installing public
improvements; and,
WHEREAS, those responsibilities are detailed in the Development Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, in addition to those responsibilities, Wal-Mart has agreed that the following
environmental initiatives will be implemented at the new facility:
1. The store will include a daylight harvesting system, including skylights, electronic
dimming ballasts, computer-controlled daylight sensors, etc.
2. The store will have an Energy Management System,which dims sales floor lighting to
about 75%illumination during the evening and night hours resulting in a reduction in
demand for electricity and reduction of green house gas generation.
3. The most energy-efficient lighting system on the market, T-8 fluorescent lamps and
ballasts, will be used.
4. "Low mercury"lamps will be used at the store. Wal-Mart will be recycling them out
of concern for the environment.
5. The store will be part of a revolutionary new Centralized Energy Management System,
which allows for central control in the home office in Bentonville, Arkansas, of all
heating, air conditioning, refrigerating, and lighting systems at all times.
6. The store will utilize LED lighting in internally illuminated building signage.
7. Non-sales areas will have occupancy sensors to detect activity in a room and
automatically turn off lights when the space is unoccupied.
8. The proposed store will be utilizing "super" high-efficiency units, which are rated at
11.25.
9. The "white" membrane roof system should reduce the cooling load of the store, and
thus, the energy consumption,by approximately 8%.
10. Almost 70% of the hot water needs for the store will be generated by the reclaimed
waste heat from the refrigeration system.
11. The store will be actively dehumidified (to allow to operate at a higher temperature,
use less energy, and allow the refrigeration systems to operate more efficiently).
12. Instead of using heating elements to reduce the condensation on freezer doors, a film
will be installed, which will require no energy consumption.
13. Wal-Mart's site specifications now include provisions to include up to 25%fly ash in
exterior concrete mixes (to reduce the amount of natural resource material used).
14. Low flow, sensor-activated faucets will be used in the restrooms.
WHEREAS,in addition to the above,the City requires annual certification of the storm water
filtration system.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that
the Development Agreement for Wal-Mart's Subdivision, 1 st Addition, is hereby approved with the
15 above-listed stipulations.
ADOPTED THIS 22nd day of August, 2006.
