Clarkston planning commission recommends three small-business licenses to town council
Summary
The Clarkston Town Planning Commission recommended three home‑based or small businesses for approval by the town council — a janitorial service, an engineering/prototyping shop, and a construction firm — after finding little to no expected impact on parking, noise or neighborhoods.
The Clarkston Town Planning Commission on a February 2026 meeting recommended that the town council approve three business license applications, saying the home‑based and small‑scale operations are unlikely to affect neighborhood traffic or noise.
Chair opened the business‑license portion of the agenda and explained the planning commission’s role: “We technically can't approve it, but we can recommend for approval to the town council,” and that the council typically follows the commission’s recommendation.
An applicant for Skyline 360 described the business as “just a, home occupation for janitorial services. Just cleaning, power washing, things like that,” and confirmed there would be no on‑site employees and no expected parking impact. A commissioner moved to recommend the application to the town council and the motion was seconded; the commission recorded its recommendation to forward the license for council action.
The commission then heard from Delroy Pearson, who said his company Depth Site Innovations is an engineering and prototyping service run from his garage and that he presently has no employees. Pearson said he is “in the process of getting quotes and plans put together” for a future 40‑by‑60 shop and told commissioners he does not anticipate significant noise: “I don't anticipate that there would be” noise issues. A motion to recommend Depth Site Innovations LLC to the town council was made and approved.
Finally, a representative of Wood Smith Construction Inc. explained the business paperwork is being moved from Lewiston to Clarkston while field operations continue at job sites. The representative said the change is primarily administrative and that there would be “virtually no impact on the community.” Commissioners moved and seconded to recommend the construction firm’s license to the council; the commission’s recommendation will be presented at the next council meeting.
Next steps: the commission’s recommendations will be forwarded to the Clarkston Town Council for final approval. The commission chair said applicants need not attend the council meeting unless notified and that staff will alert applicants only if the council raises concerns.
