Planning commission approves site plan for 303 West Meadow Street; final approval set for June 3

The Smithville Planning and Zoning Commission approved a revised site plan for 303 West Meadow Street and directed the item to the next board meeting for final approval.

Staff said the application returned after being postponed at the prior meeting and that the applicant significantly revised exterior materials. "You can see he brought the materials that he's proposing over here behind us, which is the faux stone, and it'll be the 4 feet of the entire building," Jack, a city staff member, said, adding the applicant also proposed a stucco-look metal panel and board-and-batten on the gable ends.

The staff report recommended the submission meets code standards, including landscaping and stormwater review. The applicant and the contractor were present at the meeting to answer questions but offered no further public comment. Commissioners moved to approve the site plan; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Mayor Bolly, Terry, Billy, John and Alderman Wilson. A staff member noted the matter will not appear on the next Tuesday meeting because of a lack of quorum and instead will be on the June 3 board agenda for final approval.

The approval at this meeting was limited to the site-plan review as submitted and assumes the applicant will meet standard review items (materials compliance, stormwater, landscaping) during final plan and permitting reviews. No amendments or conditions beyond the normal staff review were recorded in the motion.
