Commission approves two entrance variance and site plan adjustments for RMP metal fabrication

The commission approved two driveway accesses and the accompanying site plan adjustments for RMP LLC at 130 Shearer Street, allowing the west drive to be ingress only and widening an existing entrance that services a converted office.

Dustin Hall of Copp Engineering explained the west drive will be ingress only while the widened east drive will serve ingress and egress; the existing house on the lot will be converted to an office. Planner Kyra Jones asked that the sewer connection be shown and labeled, and that EPB and Water Quality comments be added to the plan. Fire Chief Morgan confirmed a hydrant is required and it is shown on the drawing. The commission approved the access and site plan subject to the corrections being submitted within 90 days, with a possible extension to 120 days.

Applicant Rick Pollard said there was no feasible connection to Industrial Park Drive because of privately owned intervening property. The approval was recorded unanimous.
