Applicants seek rezoning for Dollar General on DuPont parcel in Jefferson County
Summary
Applicants filed to rezone parcel 39-04-09-000-015.000-005 from R1 Residential and Agricultural to General Business to allow a 10,640-square-foot Dollar General; applicant told the county the project would occupy about 2 acres and connect to the DuPont sewer. A public hearing was opened and then closed with no vote recorded.
Applicants Jerry B and David Ferguson asked Jefferson County officials to rezone parcel 39-04-09-000-015.000-005 from R1 Residential and Agricultural to General Business to allow construction of a 10,640-square-foot Dollar General store, county staff heard at a public hearing.
Will McDonough, a civil engineer with Bear and Associates, represented the applicants and described the proposal. "My name is Will McDonough with Paul from Bear and Associates, a civil engineering firm out of Gordon, Indiana," McDonough said. He said the applicants plan to purchase about 2 acres of a larger tract and build the store "across the street" from an existing trailer park near Sparkman Lane and Morgan Trace in DuPont.
McDonough described the proposed store size as a "Dollar General, stores of 10,640 Square Foot Store" and said the site was selected in part because "this 1 has more utilities available." When asked about wastewater service, McDonough said, "The intentions are to be on the sewer."
The public hearing was opened for the rezoning application and the applicant presented site information and a plan. Board members asked to see a picture of the property and whether utilities would serve the development; the transcript records a request, "Can I see a picture of exactly where that seems to be?" but does not record further technical details or a vote on the rezoning.
The planning public hearing was then closed; no formal vote or final decision on the rezoning was recorded in the hearing transcript provided. Next steps, including any staff reports, formal motions, or scheduled votes, were not specified in the record provided.
