- Consider recommendations of the Architectural Review Committee and Development Plan for the Dollar General Store
Jackie Carlson, Director of Planning for Shafer, Kline & Warren, Inc., provided the staff report and recommended approval of the Development plan. (See Item B attached.)
John Williamson, 10601 Kaw Drive, Edwardsville KS 66111 stated that his property is located to the west of the proposed building. He has no objection to the development. His concern is how the water from the parking lot will be captured and carried away from his building. He wants to be assured that the development will not create more drainage problems.
After discussion by the Planning Commission, Commissioner Tim Sweeten recommended approval of the Development Plan for the Dollar General store with the condition that additional architectural relief and elements be incorporated into the north (highway facing) façade. The Commission does not want to limit the applicant’s design ideas, but specifically mentioned the following improvements to assist the applicant in achieving the look the Commission desires along the front facade.
- Continue/wrap the columns on the east and west elevations around to the front to provide additional vertical relief.
- Extend/overhang the EIFS portion of the wall out approximately 5 feet from its current location to give the elevation depth.
- Because the top portion of the wall will overhang, place can lighting along the front facade instead of the proposed wall pack lighting.
Commissioner Kelli Curry seconded the motion.
The motion carried 7-0.
- Continue discussion of Comprehensive Plan
