The Baldwin County Planning Commission approved a commission-site plan for a 10,640-square-foot Dollar General on County Road 10 in the Foley area, adding an explicit condition that the applicant submit a truck circulation plan for staff approval before the site plan becomes final.

Planning staff said the site is in Planning District 35, is near an existing commercial node at the intersection of County Roads 10 and 65, and that the proposed site plan conforms to the county’s zoning ordinance. Staff recommended approval with conditions shown on the staff report.

During the public hearing, commissioners raised concerns about truck deliveries and circulation at the intersection. Alyssa Haley, agent with the Broadway Group, told the commission the trucks would “pull in and pull to the front and then back up into that loading and unloading zone area” and offered to provide a truck path diagram. Haley said, "We can provide a truck path showing how deliveries will be made." A commissioner proposed adding a condition that the applicant coordinate the delivery pattern with county staff; the motion to approve included that additional condition.

The applicant also received a parking variance due to lot-size limits, and staff said the site plan otherwise met ordinance standards. Commissioners approved the site plan with the added condition that the applicant submit a traffic/vehicle-movement plan for deliveries and coordinate with staff before final site-plan approval.

The vote was taken by voice and the case was approved as conditioned; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
