Default WalMart (Again)

In 2008-09 the residents in this area (Beaufort/Lady's Island/Saint
Helena Island) fought (and won) against a proposed new WalMart Super
Center on Lady's Island. The issue has reared it's ugly head again.

The original commercial zoning of the property called for a series of
small shops, no more than two stories high and in keeping with
"lowcountry" architectural style. After WalMart was beaten down the
owner of the property sued the city. As a result of a settlement he was
granted a variance allowing construction of an up to 150,000 square foot
building on the property. WalMart is back, proposing a 149,979 square
foot Super Center. Arrrgh!

No request for building permits have been filed with the City Planning
Commission yet but it sure looks like we're in for another fight.
