Summary
City staff reported 124 building permits in June with a construction value of about $6.7 million, 725 code-enforcement actions, and a U-Haul Moving and Storage Center plan submitted for 1404 West Highway 50 scheduled for the Aug. 12 planning commission meeting.
City Community Development staff told the committee that in June the department issued 124 building permits with a total construction value of roughly $6.7 million and completed 681 building inspections. Staff also reported 725 code-enforcement actions in June and said the average time to abate a complaint was 15.86 days.
Abby, the community development coordinator, summarized notable submittals and ongoing projects. She said the department received a plan-of-use submittal from AmeriCo Real Estate Company for a U-Haul Moving and Storage Center at 1404 West Highway 50, a 7.5-acre redevelopment of the former RP Lumber site that would include retail, truck and trailer rental and indoor self-storage; that project is scheduled for planning commission review on Aug. 12.
Other project updates included ongoing construction at Brandywine Garden Villas (three occupancy permits issued), tenant finish work at a Spring Hill Suites by Marriott project where the developer has requested a special business district to fund costs via a 1% additional hotel-room sales tax within the development, and recent in-house site approvals for St. Elizabeth’s Medical Office Building and Surgery Treatment Center, Park Place, Q-Storage and Bethel Grove Subdivision. Staff also noted a traffic plan for Park Place remains under review by IDOT.
Staff reiterated that the city had received social-media attention about an article saying Meyer acquired the Shops at Pierce; as of July 11, the city had not received an application to modify the approved plan for that property.
No formal committee actions were recorded on these informational updates; the items were presented for committee awareness and tracking.
