Final Development Plan Approved for New Building and Parking Lot at Gainsway Park

The Lexington Technical Review Committee convened on August 27, 2025, to discuss various aspects of a proposed development plan. The meeting focused on the final development plan for a project that includes the replacement of an asphalt parking lot with new buildings and landscaping enhancements.

The discussion began with an emphasis on ensuring that all physical parking and access easements are clearly documented in the final record plan. Committee members noted the necessity of obtaining an easement from the property owner to connect to the nearest sanitary sewer line, which is currently not accessible. This step is crucial for the project's progression.

Further deliberations included the proposed stormwater management plan. The developers indicated that the new construction would lead to a reduction in stormwater runoff, as the drainage would be directed toward Gainsway Park, which features a large pond. The committee requested that an exhibit detailing these drainage plans be provided at the construction plan level.

A key point of clarification arose regarding the nature of the development plan. While the developers referred to it as a final development plan, there was some confusion about whether it also constituted a preliminary subdivision plan. The developers confirmed that it is indeed a final development plan, but they will submit a separate plat to create the necessary lot for the project.

The meeting concluded with the committee members affirming the importance of adhering to the appropriate regulations for subdivision, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken for compliance. The developers expressed their willingness to address any further questions as the project moves forward.
