Planning Commission reviews Boys & Girls Club proposed 3,000‑sq‑ft expansion at 1781 Fort; no action taken
Summary
Commissioners discussed a proposed non-action 3,000-square-foot expansion of the Boys & Girls Club at 1781 Fort and asked staff about park status, lease coverage and a planned donation of a small YMCA-owned parking parcel.
Commissioners reviewed an informational communication about a proposed 3,000-square-foot expansion for the Boys & Girls Club of Saginaw at 1781 Fort. The item was presented for discussion only; no permit or formal action was requested at this meeting.
Commissioners asked whether the expansion area was park property; staff said the parcel had been deeded to the city with an historical understanding tied to youth-recreation uses but characterized it as not formally designated parkland in the current staff description. Commissioners asked whether a lease existed from the city to the Boys & Girls Club; staff confirmed a current lease covers the site. The presentation and packet show the new building footprint extending over a small section of parking lot currently owned by the YMCA.
Staff said the YMCA intends to donate that small parking-lot parcel to the city and that the donation would need to occur before construction. Commissioners asked whether demolition was involved; staff said the expansion will require removing two small existing buildings and adding the third structure identified on the site diagram.
Ending: Commissioners had follow-up questions and asked staff to ensure any deed transfer and lease or parkland status issues are clarified before any formal application returns to the commission for action.
