Multiple Brookwood Village projects — lot reconfiguration, Valvoline proposal and construction closure — set for Nov. 24 hearings

City staff and project teams discussed a cluster of Brookwood Village–area projects that will go before the council at the Nov. 24 meeting.

Scholl Engineering said the amended development plan would create two new lots (Lot 1FC and Lot 1FD) on the Brookwood campus and add access points and parking to support an Andrews Sports Medicine site; the planning commission offered a favorable recommendation and the item was scheduled for public hearing.

Separately, an applicant for a Valvoline Instant Oil Change at Green Springs Shopping Center presented a plan to demolish a bank and build a 2–3 bay drive-through service that would reduce impervious area and add landscaping. Councilors pressed the applicant for renderings and screening because the GERD zoning district was designed to limit visible service bays facing Green Springs; resident Ravinder Patel urged the council to reconsider allowing bay doors that face the highway.

Contractor representatives also requested a temporary closure of a road adjacent to the mall during reconstruction to limit traffic and staging hazards; the contractor said construction is expected from Dec. 8 through about June and that the closure request will be brought to the Nov. 24 agenda for a decision.

All items were carried to the Nov. 24 meeting for public hearings and formal council action; staff said it will provide additional renderings and materials where requested.
